Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies.
- Diane Arbus
There are two wonderful things in photography: being near excellent photographic opportunities, and already having everything you need to take advantage of them.
For this assignment, look at what you have in the kitchen. Water drops, fruit, vegetables, glassware and flatware all make for classic subjects, and are all worth exploring. There's also a variety of different surfaces and textures, shapes and lines to create compositions with. Move things around, change your perspectives, and shoot whatever catches your eye. Any camera, any lens, and any light will do: see what you can create with what you already have where you already are.
