Shots of things that oblige me by patiently holding still while I experiment with light, shadows and more.

The paint splattered tap

Running dry?I took this photograph in a friend???s old studio last year. He was moving out and we discovered this tap which had been hidden behind a stack of boxes. It has been splattered with paint from several paintjobs and I am certain it had not run for ages.

I resisted the strong urge I had to see if anything would happen if I turned the handle.

Working outside

The canopy of the trees
This is from an equally nice day as today in 2004.

I was working outside under the canopy of the tree. I took this picture looking up at it.

Copying nature

The flower shaped light
Yesterday???s passing cloud reminded me so much of something I had seen recently seen but I couldn???t remember what at the time.

It finally came to me early this morning and I am rather glad I took this photograph of a light in a restaurant lobby a few weeks ago. The waitress thought I was a bit odd, but politely didn???t say anything.
