I was informed this week by a childhood friend, my boyhood home was recently demolished. The old neighborhood had changed dramatically over the last 20 years and upon visiting in 2009, I was appalled at the condition.
Today, cleaning out a closet in my mountain cottage, I discovered my mother’s old sewing box on a bottom shelf. As a small child I was enthralled with poking around at all the bits Mom had squirreled away inside.
Opening the box and smelling the very old spools and thread drew me back half a century to the dining table where I used to play with the spools and buttons. This image captured on the same table…
Canon 5D MKII, ISO 800, Leica 60mm Macro Elmar at f4
I too have a box of old wooden spools of thread, needles and buttons tucked away in a handmade sewing box from at least half a century ago. This photograph is going to make me try once again to capture the essence of those tools. The last try at capturing then was not a complete disaster, but certainly nothing close to this masterpiece. I just Love This!!! So well done. DOF, composition, tonal values ……….. all just spectacular. Thank you for sharing your journey and this photograph.

Luscious subject matter Arni, your limited DoF does this collection justice.
Thanks Roger. I love those old spools.

I do so appreciate your ability to fish out and use memories that seem unique and are surprisingly universal.
Thanks!
