Description
This ceramic box belonged to my great-grandmother (my mother's mother's mother). I remember it sat on her dresser when I was a child, and it held her safety pins.
When my great-grandmother died, my grandmother inherited the box. She kept it on her dresser for years and years, and it held her safety pins.
My grandmother died a couple years back, and one of the things I inherited from her was this ceramic box. It sits on my dresser and holds my safety pins, my grandmother's safety pins, and undoubtedly some of my great-grandmother's safety pins.
It's nice to have such a thing in my home, something that reminds me, connects me, to the women in my family who did ordinary things, lived ordinary lives, and needed safety pins from time to time.
When I was setting up my low light session, this was one of the first things I thought of to shoot.

I like your low light sessions. This picture has such a warm story to go with it.
This is superb work, I love the sense of color here: the rich, buttery/honeyed gold tones. The detail of the safety pins is fantastic as well. Your written description adds quite an emotional current to the image. I love the fact that it has always held safety pins, and has generations of them inside! Fantastic and touching work!
