something interesting in an ordinary place

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place . . . I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”                   Elliott Erwitt

I was walking around San Miguel scouting locations for portraits with my daughter-in-law Holen. This little scene caught my eye. The water spigot (upside down). The pot of water (for whom?) The hand-written sign, “water”.  Really? I don’t think deer or dogs can read, last I heard . . .   I was also attracted to the colors and textures. A small, odd mystery . . .
