Peppers, egg shells,and cornbread ~ Au Sable Forks, NY - in the Adirondack Park • click to embiggenThis past weekend it seemed I couldn't walk into the kitchen without being confronted with a picturing opportunity. In 48 hours time, I managed to make 6 pictures for my the life in my kitchen series + 1 for my decay & disgust series. And, there is another decay & disgust on the way - along as the wife lets me keep the live mouse around long enough for the pepper debris in today's picture to age a bit more.
Although, I'm still pondering about how to work with /contain a live mouse on a still life picture set. I know from my previous experience that putting insects in the frig or freezer slows them down to the point of being nearly motionless (without actually killing them). I also know how to hypnotize a chicken*, once again so that it remains rather motionless. In both cases, the idea of being motionless is a great aid in keeping them in place for the purpose of making a picture, when, otherwise, they'd be all over the place.
However, I don't know how to slow down a mouse. Any suggestions?
*a great party trick as long as you can pull off showing up at a party with a chicken or two.
