Travesty (Randy) does some amazing still life images and he makes them look simple. What I know is that in this photo genre you have total control over your light, your composition, background, colors...its all on you. And if its unbalanced, uninteresting or missing impact, well that's on you,too! Travesty did a still life image not long ago, Uncle Al. You got to know this character by a few well chosen objects that represented "Uncle Al". I thought I'd give it a try, see how much one could learn about a fictional character with just a few objects.

The still life queen has returned. Interesting set. I like 1 and 3 the best.
Interesting way to tell a story. Great job!

Most excellent, Carla! My favorite here is number one, love the sunny disposition of this, and I'd say the composition and light was just right! But each has its charm, and you succeeded admirably!
Fantastic theme and beautifully done work, Carla. #2 is very poignant.
Excellent stills, good stories.

Your mission was a big success carlysue! I'm certain all the aunts would love them too!
Hey Carlysue! You put a lot of thought into these and it shows. Seems that every photo we do is a learning exercise to one degree or another. Great job!! Cheers, TG
