As we enter the 9th week of lockdown I came across an article in The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2020/may/22/awakening-a-sense-of-wonder-in-ordinary-life-in-pictures on an Japanese photographer, Yasumi Toyoda’s images challenge us to notice more. The aim of super ordinary is to awaken a sense of wonder and ignite that ”seeing with fresh eyes” sensation even in the most unlikely and mundane moments of everyday life. Look beyond the function of the objects in our lives, concentrate instead on colour, form, texture, emotion and context. I was immediately struck by the simplicity of the idea (I had a lot of time and a lot of archive to explore!) and decided to create a page on the site and populate it with a few images to illustrate.
