decay # 40 ~ unintended consequences

Albeit unintentional, the wife finally got with the decay program.

Normally, I must wait around - sometimes days, sometimes weeks - while various things decay to the point of a picture-worthy state but, over the weekend, the wife shortened the wait time by going to bed and leaving (forgetting) a pot with a chicken carcass (making chicken stock) simmering on the stove. The result, decay-wise, was a thing of beauty for which I am very grateful.

That said, I am assembling a Decay & Disgust portfolio, a book, and a limited edition 10 print Decay & Disgust folio. The portfolio is for submission to galleries.

A complete up-to-date online Decay & Disgust gallery can viewed HERE

My roommate in college did that with a can of Chunky Soup. (after a night of drinking)

Did you eat it? Edward Weston always ate his subjects when they started to wilt.
