In Riga it is also cheaper, which could be one explanation.

    When I was visiting Riga, thought might as well visit Jelgava. The last picture is from there.Attachment 9726

    I was wandering about the forest preserve last weekend. Here's a picture of an old park picnic table.

    The pic-a-nic table looks like it was made for giants. Very nice, YesNo, though I think you'd better come clean and admit you were inspired by me. Yes, it was my pics of my rustic neighborhood that made you all jealous, like. Come on, now, no need to be ashamed. You'd hardly be the first person to model himself on me.
    Obsessed with facial symmetry.

    Yes. Both you and North Star were inspirations. Actually, North Star's photo of the logs was what inspired me to take the picture of the picnic table from this perspective focusing on the edges of wood. It was like his photo of two logs.

    Well I'm glad to know I'm an inspiration.

    Just my hand holding a glass with some water in it.

    As far as influence, though, I didn't connect that photo to the orbit talk at all, and I took it three weeks ago.

    Wow, North Star!
    It was a joke of course! But the raid is real.

    Oh, I see my tone could have been more relaxed. I certainly didn't take any offense at a suggestion of having influences. I don't actually recall what drew me to photograph these things originally, Dutch Golden Age still-life paintings perhaps.

    It´s ok, North Star! Just a silly comment, nothing to do with real influence. It was meant to make people smile. I,m taking it out again.
    Those last glass compositions are beautiful!
