Beauty hunt

We look at beauty from a list — sunset, view, shop window. The small stuff stays invisible, even though there is far more of it around.

Go out with one task — hunt for small things, not for nice views. The rule is simple: shoot only what fits in your palm or in one square metre — a crack in the asphalt, a rusty hinge, lichen on a stone, a reflection in a puddle. Get close, crouch down, shoot from ground level instead of from your own height. Do not delete frames as you go and do not post anything until you have all seven. Once you have seven, sit down and look through them in a row, then say out loud what they have in common. Take the last shot somewhere you walk past every day.

How many years have you walked past the thing you noticed today?
