Film seems to have less fog effect the deeper into the pack I get so thats good and used a different lens with a Copal Shutter this time.

Nike of Samothrace, life-size, done over with wallpaper. 5x7 Ektachrome rescanned yesterday. This sheet must have been a reject because the fill-light has become evident.

This was actually a test of my first attempt at a Chris Broadbent-style backdrop (Thanks, Chris!) which I found to work exactly as advertised. I'm not sure how it will come across the 'Net; the best scan that I could make doesn't have anything like the impact of the contact print.

Made with a 420mm Heliar on FP4/PMK, contact printed on MGIV warmtone glossy.

I gotta do some like this, so I learn something, reminds me of my first college drawing class, I am terrible at drawing.

Well done!

Thanks, Randy.

As it happens, I made these objects after reading a 1917-vintage text on drawing. All the more recent books seem to start with one example of a teapot or something, and the next exercise involves long-term observation of an unclothed human female. My wife doesn't seem to think that I need drawing skills quite that badly.

In order to keep strictly within the atelier tradition, the rectangular prism should be a cube, but I couldn't resist making a Golden Ratio prism just to see what one would look like.
