I’ve bought six new IKEA glasses but one of them got broken when I washed it for the first time. Of course, I wouldn’t just throw it away, as well as my daughter couldn’t throw away a Camellia blossom she has found fallen at the ground two days later…
I believe these two imperfect subjects made a perfect combination. What do you think?

April 2008. Canon EOS 300X, Sigma 28-135. Tripod: Manfrotto 055/141RC. Continuous light: Falcon Eyes LHG-500. Placed on a glass plate, seamless background made from a sheet of white paper. Lit from bottom, through the glass plate. Post-processing: levels, desaturation (only to correct white balance), retouch (scratches on the negative), crop.

    it is a great idea, well executed too. i think the flower and broken glass in the front are more appealing somehow than the perfect one in the back. great work.
