2009 Challenge 15/365 – Zipper

Day 15 – “Zipper”
35o days to go… that’s 50 weeks

I looked around the house a while for an interesting zipper… coats, backpacks, sweatshirts, jeans but nothing really stood out to me as really “interesting”. I knew I could take an interesting macro with some interesting lighting, but ugh.

I thought about making the zipper’s interlocking teeth out of different objects… comb teeth, fingers, golf tees, fork tines… crayons. Perfect. They fit together well, they’re colorful, they’re iconic.

I again used my computer monitor for the base, hoping the light from the monitor would erase some of the shadows. The crayons were lit from the top with a gooseneck lamp.
