Honorable Mention
Tea with Lemon
DESCRIPTION
This image is from my series of Still LifeStill Life
The simplicity of the setup is what draws me to the subject of still life. Some have clean lines that are appealing. I feel a sense of order when I am putting them together. I am attracted to the graphicness of a black and white background with the white dishes. Sometimes it is just a single item. Just focusing on one thing without a group, the sincerity of it, calming in the modesty of it.
