Anyone can shoot chaos, but the most perceptive photographers can make compelling pictures out of uninteresting moments.

Indeed you are right with this quote
The beauty of ordinariness.
Just like your photo

Yes, that is so very true. Well done on this photo.
In case I don’t make it over again in time, I want to wish you and yours a peaceful Christmas and a year ahead that brings good health and joy — and hopefully the beginning of the end of the pandemic. Warmest wishes from Diane.

Well, I believe that anyone can stand in front of a majestic mountain or a colorful sunset and take an impressive photo, but chaos? It takes a special talent to draw beauty out of chaos.

But I also agree with the last part of your quote: it definitely takes talent to draw a compelling image from a mundane tableau.

And you have made this ordinary coil of rope seem like a living thing.

Interesting simple still life. Not sure about the quote though. Chaos by its very nature is hard to compose 🙂
