Everyday objects can be seen in the context of what they do, or they are just seen for what they are. For example, I like to photograph calligraphic pens with the product of their use. I suppose this is a diletante's perspective on product photography. Any other interests out there?

Just send your pen in for a custom ground nib. Oblique medium is a good start.

I collect Montblancs and have all kinds of custom nibs ground for them. Left italic oblique, right oblique. I mainly write with broad or double broad, but once you get used to an oblique, it's hard to go back. There's always flex nibs too that vary depending on the pressure what the tine width/shape is.

However, as a product photographer, I'm not one for shooting pens with their product. Reminds me too much of people who do ink testing.

Unfortunately , the older you get , you will find that your writing also gets older .

Turns out we have some fountain pen people. Who knew? Last pen pic for a while, I promise. These Waterman's are all about 100 years old and all have calligraphic nibs. Guess the grouping makes it a still life.
IQ180, can't remember the lens.

@ASTeamwork, let's try to keep it running for a bit.

This one is technically imperfect, but sort of a pun. The pocket knife serving as king is from French master maker Charly Bennica. This is the French defense. All the pieces in this set (including the queen) are male, sadly. Well, except for the birds. Can never tell with those.

Linguine with tomatoes

Primarily it is about patterns, secondarily about details or vice versa - depending on the viewing distance.

Continuous lines cut up an image. If you place enough lines next to each other, areas are created. Areas divide up an image. Lines and areas create patterns, both by themselves and collectively. The tomato breaks through these patterns, both in form and in colour.

Seen in detail, the patterns fade into the background and all that remains are the wonderful structures of the linguine through the modulation of the light.

...and of course I like (as always) very graphic images.
