Did is an excellent still life...well, maybe that's not the right description since this is most likely photographed as found. I like the window light and the overall effect. Holga?

@Suzanne: thanks suzanne - it's as found in a seldom used room in our house. and, yes, taken with a holga.

I like the idea of a found still-life. It describes this nicely - I like the strangeness that the Holga gives, it makes the objects look odd, slightly unworldly. There's a Russian word for it as a technique, but it doesn't translate very well, it's 'ostranenie' which sort of means 'making strange'.

@cat: i like the word, even if it can't be translated perfectly. thanks cat.

Et toujours cette impression d'abandon, qui est la marque de tes photos... J'aime beaucoup celle-ci....

A very interesting close up with so much to look at. I'm impressed with the wide and subtle range of middle tones. Well done.

Damn, this one hits home, conveys a sense of distance, loss, time encroaching then speeding away. The corner vignetting adds to the impact.

Beautiful Holga capture. Looks like there could be some real treasures in there.

A lot of stuff perfect for a yard sale in the Green Room. Or should we call it the green room sale? Beautiful still life.

@Howard F.: howard, we couldn't possible part with any of these treasures...

This works so splendidly. So many items which tell a tale, and beautifully observed in mono. A life laid out in a frame. Perfection

Love the light and how it “graces” the intricate, decorative objects. The Holga softens the light and the outlines of everything, and makes it all come together in a way that sharpness and distinct delineation can’t. A dreamy mood and feeling. - perhaps a bit nostalgic as well.
