An 8x10 still life with wire. I've done a bunch of these and call them scribbles

Since no one else has commented, great work! It's one thing to think of it, it's another to execute it so well. Terrific.

You are right, Dave. I wanted to comment but then was carried away by other stuff, so I will do it now. The wire still arrested me immediately because it reminded me of all the fascinating and largely forgotten experimental photography of the 1920s and 1930s in Europe. I think of people like Moholy-Nagy, Lissitzky, Rodschenko, Man Ray and so on. You did a great job, Dennis!

Thanks guys. It is definitely good to get some response. But then I have never responded to any image in this thread though I have looked at all of them. I apologize for not spotting the print before scanning it. It actually harkens back to a thread I started a couple months ago about the weird lines and crap I was getting on a box of Arista Ultra 200 8x10. I ended up having to spot the negative so I could then spot the print and get rid of the stuff. I started using wire as an element back in the 1980s as parts of found object still life but in the last couple of years I have done about 20 images using wire itself as the subject.

Playing with some fruit and a snooted desk lamp. I've never really tried still life of this nature before.
