The Shell Project - Originally started as an exercise to test some of the features of my new Casio point and shoot camera but turned into an extended study of a single abalone shell. The series shows the results of photographing that shell at different focusing modes and lighting conditions.
Shells are 5/8" wide, made from decorative buttons, painted Americana Raw Sienna, Anita's Dusty Peach & Americana Sand.
I found this shell while walking on St. Thomas, USVI right before I slipped into the edge of the water and poked my foot on a sea urchin. It hurt so bad I thought I would see a giant pool of blood in the water. At first I thought I cut my foot but it also felt like I was getting stung by bees at the same time. Anyway I stopped and looked at my foot and saw five dots and then I looked in the water and figured it out.
