Black and Silver Revisited December 29

A few months ago I took several shots of black and silver things that had meaning to me. I decided to revisit that theme today.
My favorite jacket - black leather - a gift to myself last year and already becoming beautifully broken in. My cell phone - silver - tucked into the pocket. The phone itself is just utilitarian, nothing special. What makes it special to me are the people it connects me with - some close, some as far across the country as you can get.
The cuff bracelet was made for me. Onyx and silver - handcrafted by the husband of a friend. There is no other like it.
It still surprises me that so many of the things that mean the most to me are either black or silver - and sometimes both.

Heavy metal
Black and silver
Fallen matter
Of the sun
Pours itself
Into a place
Where there was never
Never one

I also like the warm lighting in this picture, but what I truly enjoy is your explaination of why you love each item. Very nicely displayed and described, Donna.

I meant to mention -- the lighting on this is great. What was your setup?

Now if I could just figure out what's being reflected in the stone. :)

You need to take up product or fashion photography, Donna. I really like this -- esp. the bracelet. Hope you had a nice Christmas. -dds
