There is a tiny spool of thread that Maria Heinrich uses in her studio barn that caught my eye one afternoon, and I had a dream about it. I took the camera, tripod and a big lens out there this afternoon and tried to figure out how to catch what touched me about it. The spool is tiny, not too much bigger than a thumbnail, and I loved the way it played off of the wood and light. Anyway this is how crazy I am, I spent an hour with a spool and loved every second of it.
