Dice and ice.


 This doesn't look like much, but it's the start of a still life idea that I have high hopes for.  I anticipate shooting it with my 5X7 and B&W in the studio with a dark background, but you never know.  I might go digital and use a little color.
  I'm learning a lot about freezing things.
  Still life has to be alive in some way.  Otherwise, why not just exhibit the assemblage itself?  I've got a whole series of  gyroscopes with burning candles melted to them, balanced on taunt strings.  That's an uninvestigated skill-set.

Where might such a "THING" take us?
We'll wait and see.

I bet this is incarnation #1. I already want the dice to be tumbling more than they are, plus I'm going to add a card.

Are the candles actually burning or have they been lit & then blown out? I have an assemblage thing I'm working on with candles that have been lit & melted a little. No gyroscopes though.

LIt! Lit! What the heck do you think I am? A Hack?

I'll post one tomorrow. Pretty lively!

I sent Instapundit a link to your Moms 75th list.
