While out photographing I was suddenly inspired to obtain an old wooden soda storage box and photograph the smaller items I often come upon while out photographing. I have a collection of items like shells, dried leaves and flowers I have kept over the years for possible use in a still life setting. While not all of these items resulted in time spent in front of my camera or in a photograph, they still were of interest to me due to the intricacies and beauty of the natural subject.
