I've begun photographing the pipes I picked up in Chicago. These three pieces were pre-ordered and picked up in Chicago. I'm quite happy with them.
This is quite a different approach to pipe photography I'm working with right now. I thought I'd try a strategy where the background disappears and and the eye is focused entirely on the shape of the pipe. The colors are quite vivid using this approach though lighting for it is quite a challenge.
The first is a Jack Howell "Volcano-Eskimo." I smoked this piece in Chicago when I was with Jack. it is a very sweet and smooth smoker.
The second is a bent Danish Egg from Cornelius Mänz. This is an unusual shape for Cornelius and one of which I am very fond. Though I've had a number of pipes from Cornelius, I haven't acquired one in awhile. it was fantastic to meet, talk with, and get to know him in Chicago.
This is only my second J. Alan pipe. It is a wonderful melange of the blowfish and acorn shapes and Jeff masterfully read the grain. The piece is nearly prismatic in how the grain changes at different planes in the wood. And I love the bakelite stem.
