I really like both photos in "Still". If I hadn't seen the second photo I would think the table was made of stone. For some reason it reminded me of an Andrew Wyeth painting.

Thanks, Heidi. And the cool think is that is really how all the things were sitting. I did move stuff away for shot 2. I have not really seen much of Wyeth's work, more accurately, nothing other than the girl in the grass. That is him, right?

Sure is. The girl in the grass is called "Christina's World". We have a postcard of that painting on our fridge. Honestly, I think you'd really enjoy Wyeth's work; it has a way ushering you into a rustic peaceful place while invigorated you at the same time. That may just be because many of his paintings remind me of places I've been in Maine and it's Maine, itself, that feels peaceful and invigorating-hard to tell. We have one in our living room that I adore. It's so beautifully haunting that I can’t look at it too long. Haunting like how it feels to walk in to a cornfield at dusk, not haunting like ghosts. Or dear. I'm not making sense. Must go eat, but you get what I'm saying, right?
