Tin Can Dreams of Bigger Things by taffy

Tin Can Dreams of Bigger Things

I am a tin can.
A tin for anchovies.
Am I destined for something more?
Or am I proud of a job well done?
I contributed to a cesar salad tonight.
Without me, they couldn't have done it.
Cesar salads are important, aren't they?
what a great shot, love the low key, and yes anchovies are very important - well at least in my Caesar salad they are :)

Creative idea and narrative. I like the blurred out edges of the can.
November 17th, 2013  
Very creative -- it's as if the opening of the can is representative of a mouth speaking!
November 17th, 2013  
Excellent shot!
November 17th, 2013  
This is cool Taffy! The ring pull also looks like a face with eyes and a toothless mouth! Good dof, lighting and processing.,
November 17th, 2013  
Really cool shot and an excellent example of low key. Great words too
November 17th, 2013  
hahaha really wonderful image
November 17th, 2013  
Oh, you put anchovies in the Caesar? Not sure I can take that! Love the other bits though! Imaginative take on a can of fish, Taffy!

Love the dark background and blurred edges with the dream theme personifying a tin can!
November 17th, 2013  
Yes they are! A wonderful shot, idea and a great story.
November 17th, 2013  
Great b&w
November 17th, 2013

Amazing lighting in this shot Taffy.
November 17th, 2013  
Love the lighting and mood. So glad you found time to have a go with the tin can. Very theraputic isn't it.
November 17th, 2013  
@happysnap Thanks Linda -- but IMHO, you should be planning on running the next one. Your shot was amazing!
November 17th, 2013  
Creative shot - love the lighting
November 17th, 2013  
@jackie8 I hadn't noticed the face in the ring pull! Now that I see it, I wish I'd sharpened up the second 'eye'! Thanks for point that out. And for the comment!
November 17th, 2013  
@maggiemae Thanks Maggiemae!
November 17th, 2013  
And knowing the way you two cook - I bet it was delicious! Clever shot, and the lighting is beautiful.
November 17th, 2013  
@janine3 Thanks Janine -- yep, it was good! Sea bass, roasted veggies, mushroom risotto, cesar salad, and ice cream sundaes for dessert. Needless to say, I'm still not hungry this morning!!
November 17th, 2013  
Lol.I love your imagination and your use of an anchovies tin.You have managed to give it an expression ! It looks so full of pride!.Keep dreaming little tin!
November 17th, 2013  
@taffy - I knew it! I'm envious! I had leftovers - eaten standing up. But the good news is, I was on my way to hear Alash, a throat singing group from Tuva. They were astounding!
November 17th, 2013  
Awesome... great low key abstract and I love the write up too =)
November 17th, 2013  
@janine3 Interesting! What's 'throat singing'? Eek -- lights just popped a bit and a bit thunder strike. We're sort of in a tornado path. I'm trying to stay calm but it's getting scary. We're on the edge so it could go either way/

Beautify low key shot! Never expected a sardine can could look so elegant.
November 17th, 2013  
@taffy google Alash throat singing and you can view a video of them doing it. Yes - I saw on the weather that you are getting the brunt of this storm. We are on the outer edge, but just heard some thunder too.
November 17th, 2013  
great lighting and like the use of unusual subject! awesome shot!
November 17th, 2013  
@kimshots Thanks Kim, for viewing and commenting. I love that you saw the elegance of this little tin. My original title was "Elegance in a Tin Can" -- til I thought of the commentary and changed it. So thank you!
November 17th, 2013  
Great shot and narrative. Lol :)
November 17th, 2013  
Wonderful shot! And I so love a tin can that speaks to me and has feelings.
November 17th, 2013  
Great shot!
November 17th, 2013  
Nice one!
November 17th, 2013  
I love this. Fav. Love the light (Can't quite bit believe I've faved a photo of a can of anchovies though!)
November 17th, 2013  
Lol for your description :D!!! Yes, salad is impostant but more than it, this tin can contributed to this shot and this is very special abstract like shot, the only kind of shot of tin cans that I could take to my wall!
November 17th, 2013  
Really like the low key approach. Elegant!

Very clever Taffy - super low key - who knew a tin can could look like art? Great narrative!
Love Caesar salad but no thanks to the anchovies. :-)
November 19th, 2013  
Haha those words were awesome. I just love the way the tin can is shrouded in darkness. Give it a great abstract feel.
