For the Lens-Artists Challenge #169 I.J. Khanewala invites us to look at The Ordinary. Photography can make mundane objects into something extraordinary, if the photographer sees the possibility.  These two watering cans make an interesting composition but somehow they’re still ordinary. They (or I as photographer) have not made the leap into the extraordinary. Here’s a collection of favourite images from past posts; ordinary things or not so ordinary?
