This is an ongoing project that I started a few months back. These radios are part of my father-in-law’s massive collection. More to come.

The images below are small pieces of broken glass and go along with the other translucent series I have done in the past. Ice and Trip

I would like to give a shout out to Jerry Catania and Becky Wehmer at Water Street Glassworks for hooking me up with the glass. Thanks!

Lock Down

The blog has been slow for a few months so I thought this would be a good way to start off the new year.I’ve had this lock for a while now and finally ran across the right kind chain.

Buried Treasure

tfritsch — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:22:38 +0000

5 years ago my Father-in-Law passed away and left many items that he collected over the years. He is my main source for many of the things I shoot. Just when I think we have discovered all that he left behind something else shows up. Yesterday, 3 boxes of old liquor and beer bottles were discovered in a crawl space that hadn’t been touched in years. I’m not quite sure why he collected some of the things he did but I’m positive he thought that one day someone would put them to good use. He was right, thanks Jim.

Simple

The shape and the color of the oil can is what drew me to capture this image. For some reason this shot took me a long time to finish. I messed around with the lighting on background for hours. The rusted metal has tons of great texture and scratches, but it started to take away from the shape of the can. In the end it was best not to light the background at all.

Ice

This is an overview of a series I have been working on lately. I colored the ice with food coloring and broke them up into a variety of sizes. I captured these shots in different stages of melting and some are in pools of melted ice. It has a cool effect when you can see the different colors start to melt together.
