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

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.

Due to an extremely busy summer, I had to put the blog on hold. I’m probably a few weeks away from getting back to it on a regular basis but I thought I would give a sneak peak into what’s coming next. The shots below are tests of a series that I’m working on. I will get into the details when I have finished the project.

I made a new flip book from some of my more recent shots on the blog. I have this posted on my Issuu page.

Wagon

This was my wife’s wagon when she was a child. It came from a hardware store and was painted yellow and green before it’s final blue coat. It hasn’t seen much action in recent years, it’s duties have been downgraded to moving plants and bags of stone.
