Artist's Comments

Whoa. This one has... DYNAMIC PERSPECTIVE. Picture #3 in the series. I wanted to do three more identical ones using the teapot I had when I returned to the café that night (purple body with yellow top), but my camera up and died on me. Apparently, electronics do not run, as I once believed, on good will alone.

Ultraviolet Café. When the Violet Café just don't cut the mustard.

Love the glossiness of the teacup and pot. The white house in the background is so blurry and mysterious...its a very interesting shot.

The lines of the shot are really great, I've planned drawings out for days to get framing like that. Bravo. *fav*

Thanks. This is definitely my favorite of the three.

Oooh, I so love it. The perspective is great- it's an interesting angle with a great inclusion of the house outside. The repetition of those round forms is delicious, as is the soft lighting. Kudos, darlin'.

Oh, so glad you like it, my dear. Thank you for the lovely comment. You know, I hadn't even noticed how nicely the house was framed in this shot. Lucky composition, I suppose.

Or intuitive, rather. See, if you just tell people "Oh, the whole thing just FELT right and then fell into place," they say, "Oh, what an artistic knack! How wonderful!" And then you can bask in praise. That's what I do, anyway.

Ah. Artistic glorification. Sort of like when I took a series of poorly-lit photographs of myself and decided that it was because I I had decided to use flourescent lighting as an artistic medium, not because I didn't know how to work the manual setting on my camera yet?
