As Chris will attest, I often buy things just to photograph them. They sit around for awhile, I eventually shoot them, and then what? They get stashed in the studio until spring cleaning comes around. This little clay bird's been sitting on a bookcase shelf for probably two years. I'm using him as an example in my upcoming
Advanced Photomontage class, and so you see him here. He has officially migrated south and now resides on a shelf in the studio, next to a sea urchin shell, an old spoon, and a jar of marbles ... ©Carol Leigh
