It's interesting to see the things that folks consider ordinary.

I very much love this topic and this idea - I spend a lot of time looking at "ordinary things" ...

It's interesting to see the things that folks consider ordinary.

And also, what folks consider beautiful.

We don't know what Merton meant by his quote. Personally, I'm less interested in the ordinary thing itself than I am in how it presents in the context of light, form and texture, setting, etc. -- as in photographic elements. Would I be as interested without a camera? Probably not. So maybe this thread was started with a false premise. Then again, Merton himself was a photographer: A Hidden Wholeness:<br>The Zen Photography of Thomas Merton - Thomas Merton Center.
