About this Series, Saturday March 2nd,
2002
My daughter and wife went to bed early as usual, the beach and sun is very
tiring in Hua Hin. Thus I suddenly realized I could use the whole apartment as
my photo studio. Those two large iron cast crabs from the living room were
always reminding me, I should use them for a photo series. This was the chance!
The biggest problem was the lack of a tripod that is really helpful when
shooting close-ups in not ideal light conditions. Finally a Kleenex tissue box
turned out to be a reasonable flexible improvised tripod.
Since I was afraid that my watches could suffer from this cannibalistic feast, I
was very careful during the setup and did not change the setup after all.
Instead I tried to shot the pictures from different angles to "simulate" the
progress of the watches being "eaten". This was the fastest series I ever shot,
65 minutes including setup, shooting, processing of the pictures, hosting and
posting.
