Its like everyone is stealing the same method as anti and just copying it.

Try some other things(for instance the infared that anti took is sweet)

enough of take a macro image of said random object(pennies, lint, flower, bug, rusted coat hanger) slap a border on it and ta-da its art.

come up with some new methods/angles/objects

A sub-par photo is still a sub-par photo even if it has a border on it. If you feel otherwise I don't think that's any fault of the photographer but more your own. oOo:

And adding borders isn't an anti patented photo technique, it's been used by almost every successful art photographer that I've researched. When I went to the Jay Paul Getty museum almost every photo in their art photography section had borders. Really the only photographs that I've seen that don't have borders are people who don't know about borders and photo-journalism.
