Couch, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

This photo shows a detail view of the leather couch in our living room. The kids love to jump on it, and it has definitely seen better days. We’ve made a vow: we are not replacing another couch until the kids are old enough so they won’t destroy it.

I digress. One of the things I like best about photography is the opportunity to take simple, everyday things and make them look like something completely different. What do you see in this couch photo? A dirty mind is a great consolation. Or is it just me?

Along a similar vein, you might check out a couple of shots notionally of plumbing. Besides the image in the linked story, here’s another toilet shot, this one in high-key monochrome.
