Serendipity!

These work gloves fell off of a work truck just at the end of my driveway out in the street in front of my house. After about a week of people running over them they looked like this so I set up an 8X10 with 8 1/4" Velostigmat. My wife looked at me with a more than absurd expression and 2 or 3 neighbors driving past just rolled their eyes and shook their heads. Such is the price the artist pays. After I shot this I peeled them up and day before yesterday I used them to change the oil in my pickup.

The real question is,

do your neighbors roll their eyes and shake their heads at you even when you aren't taking pictures of gloves in the road?

Nice to know that the 8 1/4" Wolly will cover 8x10--I'll have to give it a try!

Usually they're not that nice.

Pretty close range. Set up your 8X10 and ask your wife... "that" ...question, you can take almost the same exact picture.
 
"Which neighbour/house was the glove pointing towards.... "

the guy 2 doors up with the dog that barks all night.
 
Jim, agree with the above nice print and tones.

I may have to give the efke a try in 4x5, didn't like it in 120 (way to curly).

Great shot..... worth the ridicule. I feel that the bottom glove is giving the appropriate gesture to the non believers!
