THE WIFE SEEMS TO BELIEVE THAT "WE" have too much stuff sitting about in our house. And, I must admit, she has some evidence, but...our respective definitions of "stuff" are not quite precisely aligned.
To be precise, the wife's definition veers rather firmly in the direction of canidates-for-disposal "clutter". Whereas my defintion clings to the notion of semi-precious collectible-worthy objects. However, despite our somewhat conflicting ideas about the "stuff", we have both contributed our share of things to the accumulation of stuff.
FYI, almost all of the stuff, transitory (flora / fruit arrangements, et al) and perdurable, is small and placed about the place on flat surfaces of one kind or another. The lone exception is my life-size taxidermied, snarling coyote which greets-just inside of the front door-all the visitors to our house.
In any event, all of that written, I have begun a project, Out of Context, to create still life pictures of some of the stuff. My goal is to make a minimum of 12 > maximum of 20 pictures.
The pictures will be made with my iPhone using the Portrait mode with the 2x lens setting in order to create a very narrow DOF. For visual consistency, the set up will be in the exact same spot on my kitchen island counter in order to utilize the soft, directional light which comes in through the very large (approx. 5x4foot) kitchen window.
As a change of pace, I am looking forward to creating made pictures as opposed to found pictures.
