To See a World in a Grain of Sand...
What a wonderful still life, never occurs to me to try something like this. Maybe I will have a go.
You should!
Oh, so well composed 🙂
Thank you, Tish! 😊
I’ve been enjoying your many varied still lifes. And as much as I love your embroidered table cloth, I find that the embroidery detail detracts from the flow of your strong compositions and colour flow. Hope you don’t mind the feedback!
Glad you are liking my Still Lifes, Bunty…and I agree, I’ve been lazy about changing the base…but I did yesterday, an image I shall use for Silent Sunday tomorrow!
Ha! Thought you’d taken the shot with an old camera 🙂 🙂
Love the poppy mug, and is that a romance I see? Busy today, Sue?
The book on the table is a photography book, not a Romance!
Well how was I to know? He is kissing her, isn’t he? 🙂 🙂
Hmm, the only way you could have known is if you knew of Robert Doisneau, a humanist photographer, probably someone we would consider a ‘Street photographer’ now…..
I was going to ask who Doisneau was, rather than the romance question, but it would still have given the game away, wouldn’t it? And this way you probably had a smile. 🙂
Love your thinking, Jo!
Love the Taschen book! 🙂 I collect the Taschen photography line and was happy to see this one here. I also thought you had taken the photo with an old camera! 🙂 🙂 Have a lovely weekend, Sue.
I wish I had some more Taschen books, Dina! That old camera no longer works, and anyway it’s years since I used film…a decade, in fact!
Oh, and have a lovely weekend yourself!
Lovely composition, but I’d lose the mug. It looks too new compared to the rest. Now I am being cheeky!!
Hohoho! Cheeky indeed!
Methinks I need to find an old, cracked mug somewhere! Perhaps I go to a charity shop, find a mug and chip it! Make a good prop!
Or an elegant tea cup and saucer.
Well, yes! Thing is, I used to have some at the house, but they all went to charity shops…. And mÅ· good bone China will look too new
Back to the charity shops then.
Haha!three Å·ears later
Not good to carry chips!
if you feel you have to resort to that be sure to avoid your shoulder 🙂
Lovely still life though – you have a great skill at these compositions Sue – I’m looking forward to your Silent Sunday!
Not good to carry chips?? And be careful of the shoulder?? Debs, you are speaking in riddles….. Do enlighten me!
I have to admit I haven’t heard of Doisneau before looking at this still life. I like it, the colour, the composition,.
Glad you like it, Paula, and that I have introduced you to a photographer you didn’t know of
Another lovely one. I have a poppy cup as well, although not like yours. 🙂

Glad you like this, Janet!
I need you to be my arranger for still life. You do it so well. I had a fiddle yesterday, and it looked awful. A pile of derelict treasures it was too, documenting 30 years ago.
Did you position the treasures where they could get light from the side? And sunlight?.. And did you pile too many things together??
Good thoughts to pursue. I photographed them individually emerging from a pile of dead leaves and they were fine. The challenge now is to group. That could be fun!
Well, I shall be intrigued to see how you do….but remember, keep it relatively simple and look at the light! You may need to try it at different times of the day
But I only have five minutes!!
Challenge!
So will you be showing some?
“Only 5 minutes” was in response to your comment about light. I don’t photograph inside usually, nor do I move what I’m photographing usually – although I do want to try grouping the artefacts of the past J’s unearthing as he rakes – so I’m dependent on being there at the right time for light. Try and stop me showing!
Well, I’m a bit far away to stop you, Meg! Not that I would want to
Oh, and Silent Sunday today includes a book to add to your reading list at some point….but I might have mentioned it already…and have I ever told you you look a tad disdainful in your Gravatar, not at all the Meg I know!
A selfie on the beach while I was skyping. I’ll get J to take one tomorrow while we’re beach hopping. Disdainful I don’t want to be. I’ll check out the book.
I didn’t think you would want to project the wrong image! Not the Meg I know at all
I noted the book.
Possibly a little too deep for your current reading path?
Deeper than geology??
Oh, not at all!! But at least geology is a new path!
Stylist was the word I was looking for.
Oooh, I’m a stylist! 😀😀😀
The journal caught my eye. What an interesting concept. I might try it.
Dropping by from 6WS
Glad you like it, Suzy!
Must get my Taschen books out of their boxes…Nicely done, Sue.
Best wishes, Pete.
Ooh, what photographers do they cover, Pete?
Some are ‘glamour’ specials, from Elmer Batters. I love his style. Also Helmut Newton, for his abstract take on the subject. ‘London: Portrait of a City’ (Various) , Salgado, with his Brazilian mines, Warhol polaroids. Also Robert Doisneau, and a few Jazz titles that I forget.
Marvellous, nice eclectic mix
A great still life Sue 🙂
Many thanks!
