There is always one that has to be different. But that’s a good thing. It really makes everything a lot more interesting.
I love wooden utensils and jumped at a chance to add these to my collection. I also love prints of utensils in my kitchen. I shot this one for myself, intending to use it as a color print. However, when I was working on this image in Lightroom, I did a quick black and white conversion and experienced a kismet moment. There was a talk show playing on the television that I was only partially listening to. But as I converted the image to black and white, the person on the show said, “What we have in common easily trumps our differences.” These are all spoons, the only difference is their color; each one is different. It’s a much stronger image in black and white.
