Larry,
I like this series especially the B&W approach.
You took quite a few images on that rainy weekend and I had a close look at all of them; just like you are having a close look at us in the reflection in one of the spoons. I pictured you hunting out potential subjects within the house and thought - that was a constructive way to spend a rainy day.
This series reminds me of a book I am currently reading. "Photomacrography: Art an Techniques" by Jean Papert. I think you would enjoy her book. The ISBN is 0-8174-0536-4. It was published in 1971. I purchased my copy on eBay for a very low price. It's not just a book of photographs, she really covers the subject well in her own unique way.

Thanks Craig,I'll look out for that book. I like to take ordinary objects and go in close,revealing them in a new light. The things we all take for granted can be exquisite when really looked at. Ever heard of Karl Blossfeldt? He was a 19th century photographer,possibly the first macro photographer,a great influence.

That's exactly what Jean talks about and demonstrates. You would really enjoy her book.The things we all take for granted can be exquisite when really looked at.

Larry,
I just finished reading the Karl Blossfeldt Wikipedia Link. That is very interesting material and I intend to read more tommorrow and research his work further over the weekend. Again, thanks for introducing me to his work. I'm fascinated.
