Illustrate randomness in a photograph today.
So many things to take pictures of. Spur of the moment, aim and shoot. But I wanted to be more literal- what exactly could I do to illustrate randomness. I thought about a bag of tootsie roll pops. Always have a bag here as we both like to eat them when we need a little sugar. But for some reason the bags contain mostly chocolate and a couple of orange suckers. Yuck! But the last one I opened had mostly cherry and strawberry. A little better selection but why can't all of the bags contain a little of each. I guess that would best describe randomness. But then I thought about finding a random penny on the ground or random change in my pocket. Couldn't come up with a good shot for either of those. So I thought about these domino pieces that I have and the random chance of coming up with the particular tiles that you need. Always the luck of the draw. Not totally thrilled with the way I set the pieces up. I think a black piece of felt might have been a good backdrop. I had some colored pieces that I could have used but they looked odd against the white tiles. And a white background definitely did not work. As usual this photography stuff is a work in progress.
