Not random


I was photographing an entirely different scene when I looked down and noticed the beechnuts dotting the pavement. I decided to make the exposure even though the subject matter was pretty mundane. Glad I did, because, in the end, this image turned out nicer than the other shots. The arrangement of the beechnuts on the surface of the pavement is not perfectly random, which is what you might have expected. I guess individual beechnuts can get tangled up together, which could account for the observed odd groupings.

The light has been pretty terrible around here the past couple of days, but the flat illumination does suit certain subjects. You just have to go find them. 

Have a pleasant weekend making images.
