Chalk

May 28, 2007

My children had this “monster tub” of chalk and I was contemplating it one day, as you do. On impulse I grabbed my Polaroid SX-70, popped a close up filter on it and photographed the chalk from above. I like photographing supposedly "ordinary" objects from different perspectives as it often produces interesting results.
Camera: SX-70 with not as expired as the other Time Zero film on board.

This shot is also part of the collection at File Magazine. Prints available at RedBubble.

Angie, re: your email addy ~ does that mean my emails to you haven't been getting through?

Wonderful shot. There is so much offered here that's intangible which makes this a great image. I hope having children isn't a requirement for the full pleasures of this shot to sink in.
