To contrast my previous photo, Found Objects in Neighborhood Day After Pre-St. Patrick's Revelry, I took a walk with the dogs and was determined to find some pretty things one can find on the ground in any Chicago neighborhood. Put them together for a still life snap.
Went to lunch a few days ago, and walked by a telephone pole that had this child's shoe stuck on it.
Finally, no snow, ice or freezing temps meant a trip to the flea market! The chandelier crystals are vintage Czech with an AB finish on the back, the rosary could be garnet, beads vary in depth of red color and faceting is different on each one. Pleased with these!
This lamp was made for the PONCHO art event "Pinned to Poncho". It is a charity art auction where the artists involved all get an unfinished bowling pin and create a piece of art with it. The event is being held in Bellevue, Wa on June 26th 2008
An interesting bit of synecdoche: mouth, stand (with mike out of place), drumstick tip and hi-hat rod and clutch.

Some footies (FREE!) that I obtained from a discarded sports table while on an afternoon walk. If making the shelves wasn't enough, footies put the icing on the cake.
At last the secret is out, as it always must come in the end,
The delicious story is ripe to tell to the intimate friend;
Over the tea-cups and in the square the tongue has its desire;
Still waters run deep, my dear, there’s never smoke without fire.
Behind the corpse in the reservoir, behind the ghost on the links,
Behind the lady who dances and the man who madly drinks,
Under the look of fatigue, the attack of migraine and the sigh
There is always another story, there is more than meets the eye.
For the clear voice suddenly singing, high up in the convent wall,
The scent of the elder bushes, the sporting prints in the hall,
The croquet matches in summer, the handshake, the cough, the kiss,
There is always a wicked secret, a private reason for this.

Shanghai Walkabout 556
I need to make a point of revisiting images made in past years. This bad boy was hiding in my Found Objects collection from Shanghai. It was captured with my @getolympus e-620 with my favorite lens of all time, the Zuiko 50mm f2. Raw processed in On1 Photo RAW.

5 exposures in RAW, converted to HDR in Artizen HDR and postprocessed in Photoshop. This room was VERY dark, fortunately it was a reasonably cloudy day outside. Just a collection of stuff left on a windowsill in an abandoned building at the former Alameda NAS.
it's my son, not an acutal panhandler, but he's holding a sign we found by the roadside in downtown Portland.
Some experimental new work. After seeing El Anatsui at NCMA, the grid concept kept haunting me. This is what I have thus far.This is after I put it together
Another little wall figure, maybe 9" tall and cut out of tins, part of a Victorian ceiling tin, found objects and a hydraulic press mistake. I do get a kick out of making these. The title is subject to change.
