 George lives! He arose at the beginning of Summer over a boiling cauldron in a pot with a Maya Angelou quote. You can't keep a good bill down.

black velvet, paper clip holder, dry ice, water, bent wire hanger to hold George. Two slave strobes with umbrellas (may not have been needed, but just figured out how to use them with DSLR).

I think this is the most intricate setup I've seen through this whole ordinary objects side challenge! :)


Thank you everyone for all the nice comments throughout the 30 day challenge. You've all been too kind. This one did take some work, since I thought I'd better come up with some dramatic way to bring the possibly shredded George back to life. With the crop on the previous one you couldn't see the power was off for the shredder. I was thinking I should have held my other finger on the "Reverse" button so the power light goes on for effect, but I ran out of hands.

I have access to PS, but haven't really used it yet. I have been using MS Digital Image, which is easy to use, but probably doesn't have near the features PS does. I'll have to take the plunge and get into more advanced PP one of these days. Maybe then I won't have to reshoot so much! ;-) My wife objects to my spending a lot of time with photography, so I've been missing some challenges lately. There are some good ones now I have to try to get into.

BTW, I had a moment of openness over the past few days, so my profile shows much more intimate (not THAT intimate) details about myself.
