Textures

   Great inspiration can be found in textures.  They can be anywhere from animals and nature, to the simple everyday items we sometimes overlook.  Anywhere I go, I try to capture any unique ( or even ordinary ) texture I find interesting.  Light plays a role, making the texture appear to have a strong or weak contrast.  These images are  photos I took, and I really like the repetition of shape and line in these images (plus fur and human hands).  I have even stopped people who have had a great pattern on their clothes to take a picture for future ideas!
