12/30/07 - Still Life?? #5 - Naw, Can't Be!

In the last five PADs I've explored images that meet out club's definition for a *Still Life* (2 or more inanimate objects arranged by the photographer). I've progressed from traditional to off the wall - always satisfying the definition. With today's PAD I've made an image that even I wouldn't consider a still life - regardless of the definition - and I'm by no means a traditionalist. It seems that the club's definition needs a little tweaking.
Oh - what is this? It's a montage - an overlay of two images (which the club permits as an *unaltered* image). Specifically, it's an image of a pile of toothpicks laying neatly side-by-side (as I arranged them). The first image is as shot; the second is the first flipped horizontally - and the result is the two images overlaid to create this montage.
I call this one - Composite Plaid. Someone referred to it as a background looking for a subject - appropriate.

Interesting image, in any event.
