Cliché shots are okay as long as you label them as such, right?
I polished all my silver flatware and serving pieces today for use at a wedding shower I'm hosting in April, and decided to play with one of the place settings in my lightbox. Feeling a bit unmotivated and bored today, so it's a good day for a fallback cliché image. Ironically, with only the tips of the tines in focus, it wouldn't have mattered if the fork was tarnished ! Real silverware is so old-fashioned; I don't think many brides even choose a pattern or register anymore...

A piece of flatware I did not know existed until I found it at a thrift shop and gave it a polish. I hunt for interesting dishes & flatware as food photo props - combining 3 of my loves: food, history, and photography.
The silverware sits on white foam core. A 580EX in a Westcott Apollo softbox sits behind the silverware and to camera right, and a 480EX with a bounce-back umbrella sits to camera left.
I have a discussion of this and similar silverware shots in this YouTube video.
I use this and two other photos from the same shoot in a demonstration Web site that implements a photo slideshow without Flash.
I really dislike litter, but this image caught my eye. After I took the photo, I properly disposed of the fork in the trash container that was less than 5 feet away. :-(
From Wikipedia
Porsgrund (Porsgrunds Porselænsfabrik, abbreviated PP) is a porcelain flatware company in Porsgrunn, in Telemark county, Norway
History
The company's production plant is a popular tourist attraction. The company was founded by Johan Jeremiassen in 1885 and has produced designs by Norwegian artists such as Ferdinand Finne, Theodor Kittelsen, Frans Widerberg and Odd Nerdrum.
Since 1996 the factory has been owned by the Atle Brynestad company CG Holding AS. In contrast to its prosperous history, Porsgrund has since experienced a financial decline.[1][2] After years of uncertain future, adjustments have been made to increase cost efficiency, by considerable restructuring to the production and sales processes.

And today, all this is history and it's just a retail again. The impact of investors' demands for profits and that Norway is an expensive country with high labor costs, taxes and fees that exceed most other nations on the globe

Day 7 of 365 was silverware. I photographed the shadow through a piece of white paper and love the end result.
I don't know what it is about this chandelier from Arhaus, but I love it! I guess because, for some odd reason, I tend to love flatware. I have old silver spoons that belonged to my grandmother, my husband has old spoons that belonged to his mother, I have some pearl-handled knives my mother no longer wanted, and when we visit antique markets I gravitate toward such things and recently bought a set of Apostle spoons from Portobello Market in London.
Consequently I've decided that whenever we move from This Old House into something new, convenient, and modern (read: where I will have a closet of my own!), I want this in my new kitchen. Now I can't really justify the $600 (plus tax) Arhaus price, but I ask you, just how hard would this be to make? Surely an old iron chandelier could be easily had from some junk dealer, as well as old spoons and forks. A couple of holes drilled, some wire curled, and there you have it.
Someone ought to try this and let me know. ;-)
MATERIALS: broken bits of plates; salvaged mirror; stainless steel knives; glass gems on recycled cupboard door with sanded grout. SIZE: ~ 28" x 14"
This piece truly is trash and therefore a bit rough — it was created from left over bits of trash I used in other mosaic projects, so I guess you could say it is made of trash from trash, but when I found those particular knives with their shape and crosshatching pattern, they instantly said, "palm trees" to me!
Coco Palms is a famous resort here on the island of Kauai that many locals and visitors remember fondly. Elvis even shot part of one of his movies, "Blue Hawaii", there. I drive by the place every time I go to or from my home here on the island. Although the resort was irreparably damaged during Hurricane Iniki over a decade ago and sits empty in disrepair, it still holds a certain allure to many, not only for the memories but because it sits at a very special place where the mouth of the Wailua River meets the pacific ocean along the "Coconut Coast" of Kauai.
April starting making some spoon jewelry for herself. A friend at work saw it, loved it and ordered a few. The next day i posted this photo on facebook and she received 7 more orders for one like this. So I have been busy some product photography and getting her facebook page up and running.
I have several trips planned to do some wildlife photography and I hope to show off some really amazing work if everything works out.

My son Joel gave me this lovely red flatware for Christmas. We had been out Christmas shopping and I saw this and told him to go take a look at this most gorgeous flatware. Well because I said that, he bought it for me for a gift. After it was washed and dried the grandkids piled it up on the table. I loved the way the light made it kind of glow so I took a picture of it.

I bought the child's play table at a yard sale today for $12.00. It has had some bad repairs but is still fantastic for tea parties. I got the doll several weeks ago on our Florida trip for $10.00. The doll came had both the dress and the sunsuit on. The flatware was Kimmerle's from the 70's, made in Germany...Dishes from yard sales.
This table belonged to Margaret Bell Humphreys, born 3-15-1911...died 3-5-07.
I bought the table from her first cousins once removed. They were so sweet telling me all about Margaret. The following pictures of her I shot at the yard sale through glass. And they GAVE me the picture of Margaret shown with the ornaments.
Provenance is so cool
