An old wash basin with water pitcher. A few cracks, but still OK for it age. Photo made to try a tiny 170mm f7.7 Kodak Anastigmat lens purchased from Jon Shiu. I had to make a lens board. It was a real surprise to find it covered my full plate Kodak. Photo made on a bed covered with black felt, window light at f16 and 1 second from shutter. The shot is cropped.

Camera – Kodak Full Plate with lens listed above.

Hendrik,

This is excellent. It has a certain hint of motion to it that I like quite a bit. I would have no problem hanging this on my wall. Thanks for sharing.

Gandolfi,

Damn these are awesome! Looks like a lot of fun. I love these compositions because they allow one's imagination to run wild. It's like the final image isn't what's on paper, rather, it's the story and imagination that these images conjure up in the mind of the viewer; in this way, your still life images are very dynamic.

Thanks,

-Daniel

I like to make still's with no apparent meaning..

Silly Stills.

Here are three..

All painted with light. All negatives manipulated with tape/bleach/scratching...

Just for the fun of it....

mmmm... very nice, that bug in the jar. I like that...

[jcoldslabs]

Thanks, Mark. We had an infestation so I caught one of the suckers in the jar (with lid!) so that I could try to identify it. Could be a carpenter bee, but I'm still not sure. They were hatching somewhere in the basement. Thanks to their weight and size they are a bit slow and easy to catch, but I have a mortal fear of flying stinging insects and I run around like a crazy person when they buzz me.

Mark--I actually had some of your wet plate work in mind when I was making this image. I had thought this would turn out a bit darker and more murky (that's how it looked on the ground glass and how I visualized it), but I miscalculated the bellows extension factor. The ten inch lens was racked out to twenty inches (1:1) and I took a factor of 4 to be four STOPS, not two stops. Whoops.
