This search also inspired me with my love for photography. I absolutely love to shoot images and can't get enough of it but this search inspired me to start looking at and shooting textures I see. I didn't realize how absolutely beautiful a rusty pipe could be or a street light pole that has paint chipping away. This past weekend my husband was redoing some plumbing in our kitchen I zeroed in on the texture, color and beauty of some water drops in our sink that had rust particles mixed in with it. My husband thought I was nuts when I wanted to pull out my camera.
