what "cookie cutter??" are you are referring to the shadow of the straining ladle? this was shot in near darkness with me trying to position the camera and paint with light around the edges of the ties. only one of about 40 shots was acceptable. ed loves his ties --- they are all hanging in the closet just waiting to be photographed! (I won't be seen w him when he wears one, however! LOL) shu
ps the tie w the scales of justice is positioned that way because ed is a lawyer and i thought i should pay tribute to him for lending me his ties! (and holding the straining ladle in just the right position until he complained his arm was getting tired!!!) LOL
