Silver Self Portrait Photo

Photographer’s Note

Danish Silver and Gold
at Koldinghus – Kolding

Museet på Koldinghus will extend and add to its collection of silverware and jewellery, so that it encompasses pieces from all parts of Denmark and covers the period from the Renaissance to the present day, including:
. a representative selection of goldsmiths and silversmiths from all parts of Denmark
. examples of all types of silverware and jewellery, both representative pieces and items for everyday use.

Self Portrait

Paint me a picture and hang it on your wall.
Color it dark where the lines must start to crawl.
Down, down, down.
Spin me around and around.
Draw me away to the night from the day.
Leave not a trace to be found.
Down, down.
Nothing is real but the way that I feel.
And I feel like going down, down, down, down,
Down, down, down, down, down.

Paint me a picture of eyes that never see,
With flashes of light that will burn for only me.
Hey, hey, hey, there’s only the devil to pay.
I’m ready to go pull me down from below.
Give me a place I can lay.
Hey, hey.

Nothing is real but the way that I feel.
And I feel like going down, down, down, down,
Down, down, down, down!

Bonjour, mon ami Rob,
Au fond, nous sommes tous des êtres collectifs. Tous nous devons recevoir et apprendre autant de ceux qui étaient avant nous que de nos contemporains.
L'oeil ne s'est pas trompé avec ce subtil mélange entre reflet et sculpture contemporaine.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Absolutely rivetting and in the truest tradition of modern abstracts Rob. The graphism using the metal lustre and sheen is dramatic and very well conceived

Hallo Rob,

U wordt stilletjes de fotograaf met de meeste uitzonderingen qua foto inhoud, u moest een modern kunst schilder geworden zijn, u ziet veel meer dan de doorsnee photograaf.
Het is werkelijk fijn om zie hoe deze figurative afbeelding weet te tonen, ik hou wel van uw oog opvallende foto's.
Bedankt.

Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John.

Olá Rob,

very attractive photo. You did a great job on the shapes and reflections. It's an original way for a self-portrait. Great job!
Regards,
Carlos

Interesting experiment. You made a good composition while shooting from the hip. At least this way your face isn't covered by the camera, which I guess was your intention. Another good entry from the master of reflection artwork

Hola Rob.
Very interesting photo with all the silverware and jewellery displayed, but the most important point is to see the face of the person who explodes our brains trying to decipher the puzzles in so many pictures with excellent reflexes, Look at him there, do not let him escape.(LOL).
Excellent shot Rob, very well captured with a great idea, very original.
TFS.
Best regards.

Hi Rob,
who can resist those silvery reflections? It is the perspective that makes this self portrait very attractive. Great art work, Rob! Excellent POV and outstanding management of the light. I like how you treat art as a natural part of your and our world. My compliments!
Warm regards
Harriet

Nice to see the reflection of the photographer in two different parts of this modern sculture. You looks very concentrated here.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Dag Rob,

Fabulous image from the gold and silversmith show. The composition, including the autograph (in the form of a self-portrait) enhances the clever design featuring geometric shapes. Well done.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Dag Rob,
Curious photo, a brilliant mix of self-portrait and presentation of the artwork and its interesting forms and reflecting surfaces. It's amazing the "puzzle effect" that puts the camera on the right.
Groet,
José

Hi Rob. The joys of live view! My wife has the A300 and live view can be handy at times. Nice photo, good use of light and reflections. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.
