I adore the fact that Scotland-based scientist-turned-artist, Fiona Watson, likens her still life photos to piano scales. We all have to warm up, right? Yet somehow I doubt her visual exercises are as torturous.
These images are a part of her Playing With The Pieces Flickr set, where she gathers and arranges the "junk" in and around her studio desk, categorizing the 5 elements of Chinese philosophy - fire, wood, metal, water and earth.
