El arbolillo de navidad que descansa, tras sacarse las guirnaldas y la estrella que lo corona. O el “adorno estrella”, el más famoso del lugar y admiradísmo por las bolas de los árboles de navidad. Vamos, no paran de pedirle autógrafos… Fuera del tema navideño ( no he podido evitarlo) os quiero mostrar otras fotos. Un bote de somníferos, muy, muy dormilón. O , un saquito de té, al que le da por…

Some people have called this blog…

Terry Border is one of those people who has a secret gift. He can take boring, everyday objects and make them come alive! In fact, his art can be appreciated for the clever thought behind it.

Terry Border was born October 16, 1965, and has spent the vast majority of his life in the Indianapolis, Indiana area. He graduated from Ball State University with a B.S. in Fine Art Photography in 1988. 

Then, because he wanted to be practical and not be an artist (he is from Indiana after all), he worked as a commercial photographer for many years photographing the most mind-numbingly, boring s**t you can think of. If he would have worked harder, he could have gone on to photograph more exciting things, but he figures he probably had a very bad attitude about it all.

In 2006 he started what he calls his Bent Objects project, mainly because all the other blog names were already taken. Basically, the project concerns adding wire to ordinary objects to help pose them as living characters, usually telling a story, and then photographing them. For some reason people liked it.
