Dutch still life In plastic

I remember my nephew Richard Kuiper explaining the idea to me. I thought it was weird to say the least, but at the same time it made sense: using plastic baubles to recreate a classical still life.

When that idea became reality the result was rather striking. It seems I was not alone in that thought, as he won first prize at the International Photography Awards in the category Fine Art: Still Life Pro.

You can view the complete entry at his IPA gallery page. And yes, it's still weird, but it's also still brilliant. Congratulations Richard!
