For Macro Mondays - Oldest Object You Can Find.
This is a vintage Balinese wood carving - a gift from my father. He brought it from one of his journeys long time ago. I was a teenager when he gave it to me. Since then, SHE travels with me wherever life takes me.
It was my first capture done with a macro lens. I have learned a lot since then. I tried to correct this photo using the software provided by Flickr. I did not like the light and high saturation ...However, it's a simple software.
Bottles of a liqueur series produced by Eliaz wineries labeled "Hard Nut" associating it to David Ben Gurion, post-1952.

I’ve carried it around and stared through it’s lens for a number of years now, but like me it was made in the 80s, along with neoliberalism, Zimbabewe and Chernobyl. The shutter crack has bitten off moments, often prosaic, unfocussed or overexposed; but I am always standing close behind it, one eye shut. Watching. A monologue about the analogue, a homage to film, a diatribe against digital – these themes write themselves (and have been written), but the object remains uncelebrated. Objects have been sentimentalised since people shaped the first rocks. Others have been worshipped. So why break the mould – I fucking love this object.

My favorite cutting board. Made by Brad Warstler in Floyd, VA (www.bradwarstler.com/accessories/), the board was a gift from a very good friend.
