Graeme,

"The Stables at Boscobel House, Shropshire, UK."

Hey, this site only has a family viewing certificate; stay cool with the S&M motifs!

Thinking about which, great minds must be thinking kind of alike or, as some claim, not at all:

Rob

You haven't seen the uncropped versions.

Re Heavy Metal 3: I remember a dentist having to resort to using one of these b*****ds to remove my wisdom tooth after all his other implements had failed. Happy days.

Jilly Cooper!

I just knew there was previous form!

A Mole for a molar would have been more neat, but I suppose a wisdom will have to do; I don't think I ever had one of those.

Can't win 'em all.

Implements of torture are all very well, but personally speaking, I think I rather investigate the strange world of snakes.

P.S. Unfortunately, this turns out to be wider than my monitor allows - no problem in the original, but as a repro here, there is.

This was a busy canal, it took forever for the water to settle enough to get anything resembling a recognisable reflection.

Just right

Rob, I think your model might be regretting her frog dismissal...

No frogs permitted along this part of the Rhône, alas

Daliesque in Venice. Leica M240, 90mm Summarit-M.

With a touch of Antoni Gaudi splashing around for good measure!

Gaudi was my first thought as well, Rob.

Careful, Jeremy - you could get tarred with the same brush. No, I didn't mean thought a half-crazed architect!

Hi Rob,

These tool portraits your doing are wonderful...I love the motif. They bring back to mind the wonderful drawings and etchings of Jim Dine.

Peter

Great image. I hadn't seen the first one, it could become a (meaningful....) series.

Thanks for the link, Peter, and the kind remarks from you, Graeme and Muntanela.

The first shot in the 'series' was this one:

The pliers were bought in London, in 1948, and the legs used to be a delightful red. At least I think it was '48, the year when Wolves won some football cup or another. I'm not into these things, but the newspapers were full of it. (In a way, I suppose they still are...)

Maybe that makes both the pliers and myself antiques, though I prefer to think of it in terms of vintage.

I shot a couple more yesterday (tools, not goals) - have to make myself work for the nights! ;-)

Hi Slobodan,

Yes, the straight file was almost the same - which was what prompted me to convert it in part. The first look at it in total b/w lost the differentiation at the hanging branches, and just made a confusion of blobs of shadow. I don't often like these mixes of colour/conversion to b/w, but in this case it seems to have been okay.

These recent heavy metal tools have been a bit weighty on my soul - what with this wretched referendum pressing down too. Nice to feel a bit lighter!

;-)
