When I look at something like this, it amazes me to think that it started out as a plain piece of metal without form, but when subjected to the fine tuned hands of the master craftman, it becomes a beautiful piece of art.
Great lighting and shadow . . and such an unusual piece. Is it decorative only or practical? LOL Listening to myself with all of these questions brings me back to your comment. We're all crafted . . one way or the other by the master. Up to each of us to know how to USE it.
It's very lovely- a nice subject for b/w. It's true how some of the most unlikely materials become a thing of beauty with the right touch. Oh yes- that definitely reminds me of another Master Craftsman!
I want that desk! This is really beautiful and your shot of it is so well done because it takes one part of a bigger thing and turns it into art. So you kind of did exactly what that metal craftsman did in a different medium. That's really cool.
