Cottage Industry

unfinished ceramic head vase and invitation, Nikon FE2

 



This photo was taken at an estate sale that once had a ceramic studio in the garage.  All the molds and unfinished pieces were still there as well as paints, kilns, etc.  Based on the designs of the ceramics, they had stopped production sometime in the 1950s.

Another grainy shot with the high speed film. This was the last frame in the roll so didn't have the opportunity to get a better shot.   I recently bought the bendable toys at Round Top.  There are about ten different ones.  I will probably photograph them again.

A Reflection of Horror

Nikon FE2

 

I shot a bunch of photos at an estate sale with a higher speed b&w film since the lighting was poor in the home.  I had a few frames left, so took some experimental shots.  Not crazy about the grain, but I expected it due to the film speed.   This is a vintage child's halloween mask with the underside reflected in a mirror and natural light coming from skylights.  I really wanted to reflect my eyes in the sockets, but could not get the angle right.  I have to shoot with my glasses (my eyesight is horrible), and could not see what I was shooting when I removed my specs.
