i have studied weston for a very very long time and totaly love his use of light and shadow as well as tone, so it was a natural choice to grab an every-day-object that i though he might shoot if given the chance and do a take on his rather famous images titled- Egg Slicer, 1930. he did to or 3 shots and so did i, and when given the choice i broke his style only for the virtical orientation, which produced a stronger image, after being compaired to the horizontial.

anywho i should've included something about the egg slicer in the title but i thought ppl. might get it what can you do, (IMO followed the details down to the details.)

-just to clear up the commenter who left a link to "weston's" site. and show that he did more than can be viewed there-

I think this is the best Weston. Other people took objects that he'd already photographed and did a less interesting job on them. You found something new and photographed it the way he did. Of course, in my ignorance, he might very well have tape dispenser shots. But my ignorance is your bliss. ;)

Effective, though a bit soft for my taste

The beauty of Weston's work is that he photographs the most mundane objects and makes them sing through his visions and use of BW. This might be one of them with a few tweaks to the image. I think a landscape crop instead of a portrait crop would have been better and a wider frame stroke would captivate this image even further. But I do like your boldness of selecting this photographer. It's tough to tribute something to him and I think you;ve done a great job but it could be pushed a bit further. Great work. 6

Nice image of a common everyday object who's beauty goes unnoticed.

I LOVE IT! Very contemporary, clean and sharp, and a great use of gray tones. I'm not familiar with Edward Weston, but I think I will just go check out his work. If its similar to this, I think I would really enjoy it! 10
