Conchology
Conchology, or shell collecting, is the practice of finding and usually identifying the shells of mollusks, a popular avocation, or hobby, in many parts of the world. https://www.britannica.com/topic/shell-collecting
I am not a collector of shells, but I admire their colours, shapes, textures and glaze. They are perfect subjects for still life images. Here are some photos of shells – far from being as beautiful as the originals.
Analog photography contest
Last May 2023 a local but very active association for the promotion of arts and crafts, opened a contest of analogic photography. I sent six medium format images, all “still life” style. Here they are.
