Description
Both of these objects unlock something. The key is obvious. The lens however unlocks light, and allows the creation of images, through the control of light intensity, perspective and depth of field.with special thanks to DHL Photography for his rendition of this image:

thank you.
the lens is for a 4x5 camera, but I have never used it. Some day, maybe when Iget a digital back for the camera.

digital back for what kind of 4x5?

The camera is an Americal Challenge with a Linhoff Lens. The backs are available, it is just a matter of having the resources to purchase one, and the computing power to process the images which can be 500 to 600 megs.

Beautiful, love the way you created warmth around every piece, even the lens. Pictures like this tend to isolate the subjects, making them separate entities, completely unrelated. This, though, has a very rich feel, and the lens seems almost... I can't think of the word, but "soft" comes to mind. It subtly emphasizes and reinforces the message you are trying to get across, that these two things, seemingly unrelated, have much in common. The philosophical things that come to mind have already been said, so I won't restate them. Wonderful picture, good work!

Aww - no problem doll.
I always take a look at people's work when they fav or comment me.
Least I could do when they took the time to look at mine.
I feel even more flattered - due to the fact we both do entirely different medias! LOL
Your shots really are nice though

that is exactly what I like about your work..It is totally different from mine. I have limited abilities in your area, but that does not mean I do not have high appreciation. In fact, it is the painters and illustrators that I go to for inspiration....photographers are to technical and forget the artistic part.
I hope you have a great week.

It's funny you should say that - I always did want to get into photography. Of course - it is an art that unfortunately has to come out of your own pocket - but it is a media I always enjoyed. ^^
Thanks so much for your kind remarks - not even other 'fellow illustrators' give me such feed back. Look forward to more of your work.
You have a great week too

Awesome still life! I dig the texture on the key too.

Great concept! I especially like the way the old-ish table backdrop complements the old look of the key and the lens...

thank you. The old-ish tabe top is a trunk that my grandfather used to emmigrate almost 100 years ago. It is beginning to look quite beat up, but it is still a treasure to me. The lens also is old, made for a 4x5 view camera. I have not used it, but it works. Some day I will have a lens plate manyfactured so that it will attach to my camera.
Thanks for the
