I felt like getting away from the cutesy stuff I like to photograph (when I’m not taking pictures for my recipe blog, that is).  I also wanted an excuse to play with my macro lens.  My husband is currently doing the spare room over to make it into a nursery.  Last night he removed all the hardware from the built-in cabinets and spent a couple of hours cleaning off old paint and shellac.  Now it all looks new again.  I really wanted to grab some pictures of the hinges while they were still loose, but he was too quick for me.  I settled for snapping a few shots of the screws.  And just because screws are such a compelling subject (note sarcasm), I decided to get creative and desaturate the final image.  Black and white hardware…does it get any better?  :)
