Alas, it's drudgery working under a
slave boss in my home studio. He's relentlessly picky. I was required to shoot a
pair of knives in one shot with multiple insets.
(I don't like to brag, but when it comes to this constraint, I'm pretty good
This was
three shots merged.)
I'm

I bury myself in my studio Knife photography, but I'm capable of more. I only wish I had more time to explore.
Watches. I have shown a few in the past. Here's my latest score, and it AIN'T subtle:
I posted this one in the Traditional Forum which was having a
Give away photo contest. Incredibly cool entries. (When you have a long moment take a long look.) I asked not to be in the contest. Guest entry.
I spent ten mins on this shot. I had good fun in doing so. Canon S90 point & shoot, direct sunlight. This was my fave of about five captures.
I wanted to use it in context, but not too busy. Dock, line, knife, shadows, sunlight. Keep the tips clear of distractions. Lots of texture.
Speaking of Docks and water, many of you may know I work as a coach and the 'boatman' (maintenance of ALL equipment at our Club). I find myself out on the water often, and especially early mornings. I row every other day myself. This particular morning I was coaching a women's quad and a double.
We travel out from our cozy boathouse up on the Norwalk River, and follow it about 3 miles out to Long Island Sound, where we turn around and head back. Our harbor has some small wildlife islands and shoals that keep the larger water fairly low. Out beyond those islands is a seven-mile distance to Long Island, NY. Too dim to see. This was an especially calm morning.
Check these out:
These women are also my
very close friends. I'll row with them as well as coach them. (I get paid to make them listen to me!

And so, a diversion from my usual fare. I am editing more, as I write.
Thanks.
