teacher's pet

i was debating whether i should eat the apple already or give it a stay for one more day. i opted for ice cream instead.

i apologize if in the past i have posted something similar but i'm drawing blank for ideas and i'm lazy to set up a northy shot. i was going to emulate james' fujiguy whisky and glass shot but that would've involved more work than a northy shot. in the end i grabbed the books, the watch was just lying around. threw in the apple and a feather. then thought and thought of a clever title.

if you're younger than me then you probably wouldn't have heard of doris day and this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc7g96GYBx0

This is funny to me because often my students will spontaneously bring me apples, often a leftover from lunch that they decide teacher really needs. Somehow it is one stereotypical idea that survives that my grandmother and granddaughter would both recognize

I like this! Very cool. Fav!

A lovely image with an almost vintage look. I hope you did not shoot this at 4.30 in the morning ;-)

Oh its a fob watch - thought it was a baby clock at first! I do like this still life! You could knock me over for a feather!

You were debating ice cream or an apple???? That's a no-brainer IMHO, ice cream wins every time. Added to which the ice-cream would've dripped all over your rather good still life had you used that instead of the apple.

Very very nice - am now wondering if I should try a still life involving ice cream?

Very nice still life. you got me humming this song.now. those were great days..love all the old movies with Doris Day. (and the hand-some Clark Gable)

Very old school, but apparently according to @pandorasecho kids still give Apple's to their teachers. I did love watching the video link about photographing I've cream posted by @kali66. I am sure we will see this by someone in the future. I didn't know about the game ice cream.

Fake ice cream...my tablet keeps changing my words.

@kali66 - thanks, my friend. i learned from my hospitality marketing course, mashed potatoes are used for photoshoots in place of ice cream.

[summerfield]

@golftragic - actually i only debated for a nanno-second. :-) of course ice cream always wins!

@kali66 - see https://365project.org/summerfield/365-still/2017-05-28
but this is the best way to photograph ice cream https://365project.org/summerfield/365-still/2017-10-14

How great to see Clark Gable and to hear that song again! Good for you for eating the ice cream instead of the Apple. One, life's too short Eat ice cream! Two, it gave you a beautiful subject for this fabulous photo. I don't remember seeing one from you like this before and even if it was similar I'm sure it was not exactly the same. The low-key effect is brilliant I'm going to give this one a FAV

Today was a day for icecream in the UK. The vans started appearing, and even queues, as we had a sudden transformation into a summery day. All I could think was "shall I compare thee to a summer's day".

I do rather like your scholarly composition - which doesn't look lazy at all. Are you still stuck indoors?

[Kathy]

Love it!

@kali66 Thanks Kali, lots of fun.

Super still life set up. I would also choose ice cream over an apple every time!
