Gyro-lifes








 There is a whole series of these happy guys.  Mostly unexhibited, though there are a few prints in collections and museums.  Never had a show of the whole series of magic trick images or showed them around much.  Most of them unprinted proofs.  A few palladium contact prints.

Update: Amen

Minimum Still Life



  Here's what I consider a reasonable amount of life in a still life.  This isn't painting, you know....it's photography, and one of the building blocks is the Moment.

D(ice)


Evolving.

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.
