the adventures of adgirl

His name is Terry Border and he makes everyday objects come to life.

[The last time I filed something under the Unexpected Combinations category, I wrote about Christoph Niemann's  I LEGO N.Y. collection. This, I think, you'll enjoy just the same.]

Terry says he gets ideas for photographs when every day objects remind him of something else. His main ingredients are really simple – wire, household objects, and an anthropomorphic point of view… Sounds tres interesting, no?

“I try to think about how I can show others the connection I made. The next step  – I try really hard to take it one step further – add humor, emotion of some kind, maybe an ‘aha’ moment”.

Check out some of my Terry favs below, along with this quote of his that I like very much:

“You know those things about yourself that you’re self conscious of? Those quirks that you’re trying to hide? Those are not your weaknesses, those are your strengths.”

Think about it.

For more on Terry, check out his Blog, Twitter and the lovely presentation he made at Gel Conference below.
