Still Life
A still life is a static state filled with vibratory motion, or resonance. A quivering in the stability of a category
or a trajectory, it gives the ordinary a charge
of an unfolding (Stewart 2007, 19)
A study of fruit
A study of artifacts
A study of fire
What is Still Life photography? What makes it still?
