Tea Time
previous / next (9-09-09)I have not been out shooting at all the past 2 weeks, except for the Yankee game. That is probably the longest I've gone without doing any serious shooting. I've been looking through some of the archives and not too much has caught my eye to post. Most are variations on themes I've already posted. I usually keep still life photos for posting in the winter when I seem to run out of shots more often than other times of the year, but this was there and so I post it now.
This afternoon Rob goes back to GA and will deploy later this fall to Iraq. We had a nice couple of weeks with him and it was wonderful to have him home. We will go down to see him once more right before he deploys. That is a trip I dread. Not that I don't want to see him, I just remember how hard it was to say goodbye the last time he deployed. It just sucks.

Yes it does suck and I hurt for you Laurie. I am so glad you were able to have some time together and print those memory pictures in your heart.
I really like this still life with the highlights and shadows.
Porcelain and pewter. Nice contrast between delicacy and strength.
yep, that pretty much sucks.. :|
on to the image, this shot is very beautifully executed.. well done.. :)
Strong image - the sudden confrontation with the porcelaine cup from a low point of view and the dark background work as an eye opener for me.
Re. Rob deploying to Iraq: I feel with you, though not having to experience this myself. Besides all left-brain self reassurement the disquietness at heart can't be muted.
Absolutely lovelyt shot. I have a collection of old teapots and coffee pots I occasionally use in still lifes, this shot inspires me to get them out and use them more:)
P.S. My sister's son is in Iraq right now, he wants to go to Afghanistan. She's thinking of pulling a "Tanya Harding" next time he's home so he can't go!
@bookbabie...my prayers and appreciation go out to your nephew and your family. It is such a difficult thing for a parent to deal with. I am so conflicted between pride and fear. I was joking with my son yesterday asking him how much trouble I would get in if I handcuffed myself to him and held him hostage so he couldn't go.
Beautiful cup of tea and tea pot. Lovely shot!
Elegant and serene!
I absolutely LOVE this image.
First time on your blog but I am definitely coming back for more.
