Wood Screw with Satin Sash

6.64\" x 10\" still life photograph in matte
Still life photograph captured on October 16, 2008. Strange subject, I know. It is based on an idea I had years ago for a 3-D photograph. I wanted to place a huge screw in the middle of the street, kind of a contrast of object scale in an unfamiliar locale. (I’ll still pull of that shot one of these days). Anyway I said to myself, self, why not just photograph a screw? During the session, I spotted this curtain sash laying nearby and noticed the same spiral shape and thought the reflective surface of the rope would also add to the composition. Different, don’t you think? As usual, your comments are appreciated.

Electric Light


Took this this morning after gathering the hardware yesterday to electrify and float the bulb. Quite a setup for a shot I have envisioned for years.

Yesterday in history:
Thomas Edison first demonstrated his electric light 1879
