Description
A long time ago in a land far away, there was an artist who went by the handle of Unstrung65. He produced many great works, among them a few still life pieces featuring antique and interesting bottles. Standing in the office of the Mackay mansion in Virginia City, Nevada yesterday, those bottles came back to me like no time had passed at all.
He got fed up and deleted his gallery, and the last time I saw him he was alive and well over on DA.
No other title came to me for this one ... it just spoke to me of Doug (Unstrung65) and if it makes sense to nobody but me, I'm okay with that.
Cheers, old friend! May you create as long as you live!

Oh, this is nice. What a great idea. I have a box of old bottles somewhere. I went through a phase for awhile, years ago, where I collected bottles like these. Very cool.

I wonder how old some of them are? They have to be fairly old.

A fabulous collection of old bottles and a wonderful dedication to Unstrung65. Great capture of what appear to be some old medicine bottles. I will have to slide on over to DA and take a look. Here's to old friends.

So that's where he went. I didn't get the hang of that site so came off it. I do like this photo, rich and intriguing.

Another favorite for my growing collection. I do not believe I met unstrung, but if he inspired you to take this fantasic shot and share it with us then I take my hat off to him.

I like that they left the mud on and in the bottles, it makes them more real...beautiful shot!

Great shot.

Great old-timey look to this. Reminds me of the Robert Hunter / Grateful Dead lyric: "Brown-eyed women and red grenadine, the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean."...

Brilliant work here, Tara. I have such admiration for all these variety of shades, so the colors, and the shapes of the collection; they have a very interesting atmosphere. You have captured it very well, all this, dear friend.
