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?
ReplyDeleteWe'll wait and see.
Sorry, it's John Hagee.

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.
ReplyDeleteAre 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.
ReplyDeleteLIt! Lit! What the heck do you think I am? A Hack?
ReplyDeleteI'll post one tomorrow. Pretty lively!
I sent Instapundit a link to your Moms 75th list.
Cool!
