This week Anne challenged me to "take 5 unrelated objects and shoot them together in any way that is pleasing to you." Great challenge, as I struggle with still lifes. Here, though, are 5 things I gathered ... my lego cameraman, a ladybug, an old dried mushroom, a fall gourd, and a stray metal bird that stands on the counter. I was actually just going to use the pumpkin for a bit of colorful background, but coming up with 5 things was hard! As for the bird? It was just hanging about watching me try to pose my cameraman on the mushroom with the ladybug. I know ... there should be a story here. I need to work on that engaging story-telling part. Oh yes .... BoB
