Electro in hot water

Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 1 May 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

This is part of a group project undertaken by various members here on AM3.

Welcome to the theme. If you haven't signed up, it's time to spill the beans and let you know that there's a theme here on Aminus3 running today, tomorrow, and the next day, and the theme is 'water'.

The image I posted today includes many references to water, if you look hard enough, and I think it's also my weakest effort of the three, so I thought I'd post it first.

Many thanks to all the great Aminus3 members who signed up and were able to participate in the theme. The following is a list which may be partial. If I missed you, drop me a line and I'll try to update it and add you for the next days as well. Otherwise, click around and see all the ways people have interpreted this theme.

Love it! If my kettle was cleaner I'd like to have posted one like this myself. If this is the weakest I'm looking forward to the next two!

I tell you what, your blog land and blog friends look like you have so much fun - I really enjoy the photography community you guys have going on here and oh, Damon I love the self portrait! Looking forward to visiting again.

One other thing - I just read your profile in "About me" very cool words there Damon, very cool.

Damon - you are off to an excellent start with this theme. Top shot! I find myself staring at this photo over and over noticing new and interesting things around your kitchen. Kind of has a serial killer vibe too - nice ;)

I agree with Michelle - just read your about page for the first time. I agree with your thoughts on the extraordinary things around us. Photography has opened up a whole new level of perception for me. I see the world much differently than I ever did before taking photos.

ring a ding ding. cracker of a shot. Love the concept, clarity, processing, variety of focal points throughout and a big thanks for getting me motivated again...as of yet Im still trying to nail shots 2 and 3 but hopefully they'll be taken/processed and upped tomorrow. Hurrah to you!

Damon, I really enjoy this theme project that you've organized. It made me think so hard. "I'm trying to think ... I'm trying to think ... but nothing happens." :) Jokings aside, this is a great shot of yours! I did think about such shot myself, but too bad my kettle wasn't that clean, shiny, and ... comfortable :) Looking forward to your next two. Many thanks again!

Sylvia Van Nooten from Milano, Italy

Bet you're tired of polishing, eh bucko? Or didja buy a new kettle?
Great shot, full of images but never crowded, the black and white keeps the clarity and focus. Love the depth, and thank you for this series too.

What an achievement, Damon! You have organised a brilliant project, and this shot would have to be our frontispiece - it's perfect. Congratulations!

Dear Damon and all who is reading this,
Thanks for organizing this theme. I skipped of posting photos from the past 2 weeks as i really got busy, but i always had in mind that i have to do it on may1,2,3 for the theme, i had no time to shoot anything new for the theme and hence i posted one from my archives for the 1st post, truely my friend, am3 is the greatest inspiration and motivation i ever had for photographing. Thanks to all our am3 teammates. Special thanks to the am3 organizers.

Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia

Excellent work Damon, a truly great perspective and great way to kick off the theme. I agree with Stu, if this is the weakest of the three then I'm eargerly awaiting the other two!!

2 May 2007 2:55am

@Chris Sullivan: Well I hope it doesn't come off as false modesty - it was just my opinion. I liked the concept of this shot, but when I was processing it, I wish I'd been more careful composing it. Thanks Chris! (and everyone else - I'll of course answer more comments later after the madness dies down).
