Assemblage
November 13, 2012 
An assemblage of thoughts...of ideas..of 'things'.
A like-minded group gathering together. Differently shaped and sized...but more the same than anything other.
Curvy women and broad-shouldered men. A congregation.
Chess-men....preparing themselves to play.
What is it that you see?
Not even the dogs wanted out on this cold damp and grey rainy day.. And so - I thought - I'd practice indoors. I'd find something. I'd make something. I'd just simply begin..and see where it leads.
Maybe 'collections' will be a new theme? Maybe this will see me thru the wettest of days?
Practice is practice. I do it - no matter whether.

What a fun collection, photographed beautifully. I see all those things you see...I also see that rainy, cold days are going to be fun for you!
Collections sounds like a great theme! It was so interesting to read your narrative while my pokey connection delayed displaying your image, so I was imagining what it could be -- what a surprise and delight! Curvy women and broad shouldered men -- perfect!
Interesting image, I like the lightning.
I see ... looking through the square shoulder bottle 2nd from the right to the big curvy one behind it ... a sleeping or laughing face with crinkled up eyes. Great photo, proving that even rainly days can bring something good.
Refreshing Change! x
And if you collect bottles like these, you are definitely up my alley! I love it. YAY for rainy, wet weather.
I love your bottles and analogies, reminds me of how I read that at my time of life you go from being an hour glass to a beer glass!
The green-grey matches the description of the weather. Beautifully captured assemblage!
Very cool - simple and complex all at the same time.
A beautiful assemblage. Makes me think about my own collections. Lots of books. Lots of baking pans. Lots of plants.
I'm in the northwest for several months - yes - just heading into winter and knowing that more and more and more rain will continue.....so indoor photography is a good idea. I've been getting out in the rain, I joined a gym and am going to learn more about photographing rain - it does make for beautiful photos. As always, Marcie - love the image you've captured.
Fantastic photo ~ very 'zen like' creativity ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
I always find your posts inspiring.
simple.
beautiful.
cohesive.
Marcie, i've had little time to visit blogs this past while, but as soon as i do, yours is one of the firsts.
Love what you do and how you share it with us. Thank you. xox
They look like a collection of very posh people at a stuffy cocktail party to me :D
I love this transparent assemblage, standing shoulder-to-shoulder, and easily melding with one another. Superb shot, Marcie.
Cool! I see a crowd waiting at the track for the train on a fresh, crisp, sunny morning.
love this....love how we always see people ( congregations) in things, doesn't matter what the things are, cactuses on a hill, bottles on a table... Inside or outside-vision is vision..thanks
i don't trust the short skinny one off to the side ... he looks suspicious
Wonderfully creative--so many forms and shapes come and go as I drink in the shot!
That glass glistens, and I don't quite know what the base is but it adds greatly to the image - they are almost floating. More of the same please!
Love this bottle collection.
Wow, great composition and realization ! Very beautiful shot !
Playful, artistic and very original – a wonderful spirit lifter on a gray autumn day!
In my view, you are a master of still lifes. I love how you pull together interesting objects and then create an interesting image. Glass is challengeing to shoot but you have succeeded so well - maintaining the translucence while still defining each shape. Beautiful color palette of cool bluish greens. On those days when the weather is just plain ugly, it is nice to have a challenging alternative.
I love it!
A collection theme! Perfect!
J'aime beaucoup cet ensemble de verrerie d'une clarté fusionnelle.
Bien conçue!

Très bien conçue.
i like how they each have their own 'personality'. nice capture!
I like the light coming of these flasks and bottles. Good composition.
Soooooo imaginative - who would have guessed that a group of bottles would present such creative possibilities.
love it, love it, love it
