Every decently-made object, from a house to a lamp post to a bridge, spoon or egg cup, is not just a piece of 'stuff' but a physical embodiment of human energy, testimony to the magical ability of our species to take raw materials and turn them into things of use, value and beauty.

Excellent quote to go with the photo, makes you look deeper into it.

Wow I love this capture and I think it goes perfectly with Mr. McCloud's quote...
ReplyDeleteI like this spoon. It was fabricated by hand in a day where the experienced metal maker without blueprints but with an artisan's touch instead. There is nothing wrong with spoons of today being manufactured precisely on computer controlled stamping press...however, back then it was real skill and artistry. A lost art...
ReplyDeleteSo very true! In addition, it also embodies the kind of energy that went in to it.
ReplyDeleteinteresting light on the spoon. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Rob,
ReplyDeleteI think I know what this all about. Very true.
Happy Sunday, sweet friend and GB you all.
Hugs,
