It's Still Life: Chapter 1

Welcome to the 5th edition of The Pulse -- The State of the Art -- a survey in words and pictures of the online artist community. The Pulse is a collaborative project that aims to introduce you to new artists, help you get to know familiar faces even more, and allow you access into the creative hearts and minds of a very talented crew of individuals. More than 130 artists have answered a series of questions which make up The Pulse. Their responses will be presented in a series of online posts which will run every Sunday.
Style File, Techniques & Tools, and Master Class were the first three projects posted and links to all these posts can be found on the sidebar of my blog. The fourth project, It's Still Life, continues now...

Participants were asked to photograph a still life that you create using an array of objects.

"Over the years I've never succeeded at photographing the much loved still life object, eggs. The challenge was to use one brown egg along with two marble ones. I set the eggs onto my favorite outdoor surface and was blown away when I looked into the viewfinder. When I aimed the camera at the eggs, I discovered the reflection of the palm tree."

"My still life is titled "Time waits for no hand for Whom the Bell Tolls." And yes, I have a wicked sense of humor."

"The small rough built box contains a variety of seeds, resin and leaves from aromatic trees including juniper, cypress and cinnamon (the aroma is just wonderful), along with some small part of my bird feather collection. The box is resting on a vintage book from the early 1870's on the natural world and sits on the old black bean timber table in my studio."
