Pepper # 1, one week later • click to embiggenThis is actually my green pepper from Decay # 1. I'm glad I didn't toss it. The wife was going to but she asked first. I think I'll hang on to it a while longer, but I can see that I'm going to have to find a decaying space somewhere out of sight and smell.
For those who are curious, I have also posted a picture of the Decay setup. FYI, that's a Majestic tripod for those of you haven't been around for 37 years like it has. 
click to embiggenI haven't used it for a long, long time but it's perfect for this series because of the extension arm and the fact that I can leave it in the same configuration ad infinitum. If I could, I'd also bolt it to the floor for the duration but that might just push the wife over the edge.
The Prestone antifreeze counter-weight prevents the whole affair from doing a very expensive face-plant into the decay of the day. I use Prestone because it's either that or a $200 photographic counter-weight.

Mark, I think you could add this setup photo to the "Sinkist" archive as well. We're slowly but surely getting to see more and more of your kitchen, which is quite enjoyable.
I'm really wondering how far you're prepared to go with these decay images. And how far we'll be willing to follow!
