I appreciate how you take risks, set up your shots, and experiment with the camera and lighting. You have a wonderful sense of drama and tension. The backlit image of the empty glove is particularly haunting. Here, the glove becomes symbolic of a severed hand. The technique and the subject compliment each other so that the glove itself is transformed-- made strange-- and really transcends itself and its function; excellent! All your pictures showcase new ways of looking at familiar objects, but often the other objects don't transcend their everyday function. The giraffe, for example, still looks like a child's toy. Your enthusiasm and commitment to photography is wonderful; your next challenge is to figure out what you want to say through the medium. What kind of things do you want to photograph. Consider subject matter. Good work!
