Description

"I think it's great if a guy has a good sized package." -Janet Jackson

Well, I'm not sure if the size is impressive, but my package here is certainly well traveled. From Belarus, Minsk all the way to Boca Raton, USA and your computer monitors across the world. I'll leave it to your imagination as to what this package contains, but I will assure you that it is not a mail-order bride! I was struck by how the surface of the paper is reminiscent of newly fallen snow in the late afternoon light -- minus the printing on it of course! ;'] ----- Thanks for your rumpled comments on my last upload, Crumpled Corner.

Very cool!! You know, this is the kind of stuff stock photography houses might be looking for - although that's a tough business to break into. Technically, this is just really excellent. Artistically it's clever and evocative!

I'll bet that package contains a brand new set of macros, am I right? :) The lighting and the contrast of typesets with the sharp and soft focus really work in this one. It always gives me such pleasure to see your latest offerings; they just keep getting better!

I must be hones and say that I envy you for these items as they are also great props for photography still-life but also collages. This series is one of my favorite of yours. Thank you for sharing.

Its like a photo-mystery and you keep givin' us clues! I'm wonderin what ya got too! You're unique view shows that stuff normally taken for granted or overlooked, can be quite visually appealing. Some of us just need to learn to LOOK at things around them differently...with their "Photo-sense" and take the time to explore their options.

"On the house!", slurred the White Russian waving Kahlua and vodka, "Black Russians on the house!" Looks sharp, very sharp indeed.

A well traveled package that's for sure...and nice close detail of it too! I say since you didn't bust into it right away that it's a fruit cake from aunt Edna~ and I'm sure if that is what it is, you will be forwarding it on to someone else unopened soon...heh heh~ Aloha!
