Measure twice. Cut once.

I don't think I'm perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I always try to take pride in my
work. I wish everyone did. There is not much more frustrating than being asked to complete a
project, large or small, with little or no direction ... especially when those same people cry
about budgets.

Love the lighting on this unusual still life and wise words as well. V

Measure twice, cut once... applies perfectly when making a matte for a print! This is a superb shot, with super light and lovely warm colors, and a nice collection of measuring devices. V

Your narrative and image are so well tied together - this is a great bit of PADding Carl! I like the light on the modern tape as well, beautifully composed and exposed...V

I totally agree with your sentiment. I go through the same frustration with my current job, that and changing directions mid-stream or later, with inadequate data/research to support the change. Arrgggh! Now to the good stuff. Really great shot. Like the concept, color and the lighting. And it's a creative way to make your point.V

Back in the day, when I when I did seamstress work, I lived by that rule. And in some cases, like when I made wedding dresses, it was "measure ten times, cut once". Fantastic shot by the way. Love how you managed to isoloate the lite ont eh modern tape measure.
