Tchotchkes

Blue Tips


Tchotchkes


Milk of Magnesia


Last of the series of pictures of the "antique junk" lying around the country house in upstate NY. There's plenty more stuff to shoot, but maybe another trip. Shot in situ, except for the matches which were placed on an old cabinet topped with that deep red laminate surface, also antique, or maybe "vintage" is a better term, probably from the 50s or 60s.

  1. I like it that in the last two you made them separate from the background and the first is a very strong little composition with a nice color accent. The blue tips and box make it very remarkable.

  2. It looks as if you shot these in a studio, complete with lights and seamless background. I like the quality of light coming through the Milk of Magnesia bottle showing the lettering and that distinctive blue of the glass.

  3. I like this series for a couple of reasons: souvenirs and most of all practicing photography and finding the right light like you did.
