<b>Commonplace:</b> Having no remarkable features, characteristics, or traits; ordinary. Without appeal. Not exotic. <b>History:</b> A single line. A landscape in its most elementary form: a bare sky above empty land. Without living creatures. Reduced to a universal theme. People must have been walking around in it for centuries, over muddy paths and alongside coastlines. A commonplace showing elements which everyone seemed to overlook. <b>Quote:</b> ‘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 (photographer) http://ceesmaas.smugmug.com/Photography/Black-and-White-1/Wind/308147137_kqpYc-Ti-3.jpg http://ceesmaas.smugmug.com/ 2008-07-06T16:39:47Z Copyright 2010, the copyright holder of each photograph.
