This sort of photographic exercise provides enormous amounts of learning potential; specifically regarding how light and surface intersect; and how light renders complex forms. It's also an opportunity for exploring how the technical and aesthetic can work together. Finding the essence within this object became an adventure in photography aesthetics and history. I can honestly say I did not fully appreciate the beauty of this unique object until I figured out how to light it. This reminded me that the same is true of all subjects. All becomes beautiful in the right light.
