I was gonna make you guess what it is but realized how difficult a task that would be given my wife’s first reaction upon seeing the photo: “Ewww, gross, what is that? Some sort of rotten food?”. Huh, well, no honey, you do eat it that way, it’s one of your rice cakes. To be fair, I do occasionally take shots of gross stuff, including rotten food… I find it rather interesting how some subjects become so unfamiliar when taken up close. It really shows how little we pay attention to details.

I can’t believe how many shots of that ugly kitchen wallpaper I took over the course of my project 365. Jasmine’s artwork is now proudly hanging on top of it, and it just looks wrong. Please give me a plain white wall for me to really appreciate it. All the painting does now is draw more attention to its surroundings, and I really don’t want to see it. It’s gonna have to move to a better place. The only thing standing in the way of improvement is a nail. How can we become so complacent?
