There is an episode of Frasier where Frasier and Niles go into a coffee shop and the barrista asks them if they want their usual. And Frasier is so pleased to have a place where someone knows his usual … so OK it is a comedy show and they have walked into the wrong coffee shop and are mistaken for someone else. Well my usual is to go for powerful colours, strong contrasts and intense textures. So one day I was playing with this image and did the opposite; pushed the brightness up high, lost most of the detail and muted the colours. The result, an impression of a wave; just the hint. I like it; so perhaps we all need to lose the usual at times.
