I played with this set-up for several minutes (I was waiting for lunch to appear). If I'd had any arts training I'd have no doubt spent time drawing shapes such as these at college. But I didn't - I trained as an engineer before moving into more arty pursuits. Consequently my interest in simple shapes - circles, diagonals, cylinders - has not been beaten down by familiarity.

Simple Shapes
I imagine there are people I work with who wonder who this strange guy is who will suddenly disappear across the other side of the room and start photographing a roll of insulating tape on a table. To be fair, I wonder that myself. But who can resist a good shaft of sunlight?

Actually from a photog's point of view, this picture is very esthetically pleasing. Good pictures are often just great shapes and composition.
i like the tangent edges of these objects and shadows. so much power in simplicity. i'm very drawn to this image. (must be my masculine side lusting after duct tape :)
I could say that you are on a roll.
But I wont.
Thanks, Nea - I tried a few angles but this is the one that appealed to me also.
Hi Snowsparkle - duct tape = lustworthy material? Interesting.
JCN - I usually get bad jokes to my son-in-law so this makes a change.
Lee - where was your camera?
