For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Fill the Frame'
Various items have come in the post this week. Some in padded envelopes, some in packets, some in cardboard sleeves, and a few in boxes. Sometimes I feel that the smaller the item the bigger the box especially when there seems to be the best part of a roll or screwed-up paper inside.
But this week there came a surprise - the paper wasn't the usual recycled grey material but something very different. This wrapping paper had been cut through in a honeycomb fashion not too obvious until you got hold of the sides and pulled to reveal the grill pattern.
And that is what you are seeing here - just a piece of disposable wrapping paper! Lit from the side and underneath a piece of multicoloured paper.
I'm a great believer in looking at the waste we tend to just throw away without looking. So much can and does provide inspiration for interesting photographs.

MM junk drawer
We actually have two junk drawers - one for tools and nails sorts of stuff and another for kitchen/office sorts of things like cards, candles and corks. This item could reside in either drawer! But more likely it’s hanging out on the counter or headed into the wastepaper basket because they are a pet peeve - yes, even if it’s blue!!
Size verification will be in the first comment box in a bit. The blue plastic item is about 2.6cms

Thanks so much for all your faves and comments.
This morning Pascha jumped into the wastepaper basket and let me take a shot.
Heute vormittag ist Pascha in den Papierkorb gesprungen und hat sich fotografieren lassen.
We have a wastepaper basket in the bedroom, but we don't use it these days. Anything tossed inside would become and instant cat toy. The wastepaper basket itself is a toy!
I think Jasper's going to be a "momma's boy". They all come and seek my company on and off, but Jasper seems to be exceptionally needy and wants petting and contact.
This was a self-portrait inside the cab of Southern GP7 No. 2182 inside the diesel shop at Andover, Va. on September 28, 1968. I used my Yashica 35mm Electro-35 on a tripod with the self-timer. A single GE AG-1B flash bulb provided the needed illumination. I was taking a momentary break from my chores of cleaning toilets, sweeping, mopping floors, and emptying dozens of wastepaper baskets. I was 20 years old and a junior in college--and engaged to Wil. As far as I was concerned, life was pretty good.

"I am speaking", he writes, "of the old Bosphorus ferries moored to deserted stations in the middle of winter; of the tens of thousands of identical apartment-house entrances, their façades discoloured by dirt, rust, soot and dust; of the broken seesaws in empty parks; of ships' horns booming through the fog; of the dervish lodges that have crumbled; of the seagulls perched on rusty barges caked with moss and mussels, unflinching under the pelting rain; of the little children in the streets who try to sell the same packet of tissues to every passer-by; of the fruits and vegetables, garbage and plastic bags and wastepaper, empty sacks, boxes and chests strewn across abandoned street markets on a winter evening…"

Für "Smile on Saturday"
Thema "Recycled" am 16.01.2021.
A "Happy Smile on Saturday" and
a nice weekend for all of you.
Stay safe / Bleibt gesund.
The Old Vic Theatre isn't photographed often, so getting a chance to visit and capture its interior during the Open House Weekend at the end of September was a wonderful opportunity. There was only one tour -- and, at over 90 minutes, an extensive one -- but the theatre was filled with incredible architecture and a joy to photograph.
This is the auditorium, shot from the centre of the upper Lilian Baylis Circle, and a view over the centre of a 19th-century "minor" theatre which was built for pantomime and melodrama, but which went on to become world famous for its high drama, opera, ballet and the occasional rock concert. Despite numerous changes in ownership and management during its history, as well as the constant threat of closure, its stunning auditorium was restored in 1983 to replicate Jethro T Robinson's original 1871 design, complete with the original lyre-shaped balconies and cast-iron columns. The theatre has featured performances over the years by the likes of Laurence Olivier, Peter O'Toole and Ben Kingsley, and even when you only catch a glimpse of its empty auditorium, there's a palpable sense of the location's immense character and history.
The image was straightforward to shoot, but a challenge to edit. I captured a range of exposures, knowing I would want to recover some deep shadows among the boxes along the edge of the image, but at the same time emphasise some dramatic shadows dancing across the auditorium's ceiling. I also had to contend with some intense lens flare caused by the spotlights above the stage, which involved careful work with luminosity masks. I also took some time to carefully adjust the white balance of the image to ensure the red within the seats was as close as possible to the colour I saw as I stood there, as well as desaturating the yellow glow from the lamplight along the balconies and incorporating brighter exposures to emphasise the stage, where a chair, a suitcase and a wastepaper basket were all that remained from the theatre's latest production.

Entrance of a bourgeois house in my neighbourhood with - rather characteristic - tiles (probably made by the long-standing Majolica Porcelain Manufactory here in Karlsruhe).
With sticky tapes like this one announcements (for example the date of the next wastepaper collection or chimney sweeping) are often fixed on the tiles or the glass-windows of the doors

This flower blew onto a wastepaper basket briefly - it looked so good that I set it up again, warts and all, for a portrait.
