    I never would have guessed that mops have an intricate social life. Great in BW with lots of texture and contrast. Paul, this is total rock & roll!

    Heheh, it was starting to feel strange people addressing me that way =)

    When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought dogs’ paws or something. My next thought was backs of people’s heads, but I like billyboy’s idea better =D

    Love the contrasty & gritty treatment, really highlights the great lines & textures. You have an amazing eye Paul, and a knack for placing common subjects in a less than usual context.

    I suddenly feel like cleaning (and if you knew my woeful housekeeping skills you would realise how powerful that statement is!) and then going out to commit a crime… Or, maybe I want to commit a crime that involves cleaning products….?

    Shit.

    Note to self… cut down on the caffeine.

    oh oh! I forgot to mention… the texture of that brick work is to die for, the black and white really does them justice.
