Elliott Erwitt is an example of the kind of photography we're talking about. Finding something interesting about life in the simple little things that happen. I use playgrounds as an example, but I rarely go there. I like to wander the streets and see what I can see. Well, I say I like to, not really for work. I'd rather have something to do. But when the boss says, "Go out and find a weather picture," I go. I find weather pictures, playground locale if necessary.
