Nice. Yes, knives are quite scary. Very threatening looking.

Thanks, Elizabeth. I really had an interesting photographic journey with this challenge. It was also cathartic in a weird way! Ha ha!

What a great post! I love the Minguzzi quote–and yes, knives are not good for much except food prep…. Your photos are very crisp–I especially like the last one, with the shadow.

Thank-you, Jael. Yes, the last photo was a bonus in my journey today. The lighting was just right thanks to my friend, the sun.

I envy all you photographers–I simply have no “eye” for the art, so I just enjoy everyone else’s work!

Thanks for the compliment. There was a time I only took family and special occasions pics. It just takes having a decent camera and practise with whatever catches your eye. I feel like I’m playing with light and shadows. It’s fun!

I like the shadows of the knife! Cooking is when I find knives scary. I rarely use anything larger than a paring knife because I just know I’ll take off a finger, or at least part of one. That is one of my fears: amputating a finger while home alone!

Thank-you. I do like playing with shadows. They make a photo so much more interesting. I’ve cut myself multiple time through the years while cooking. It always seems to happen when I’m in a rush and not paying close attention, but I still have all my fingers. Ha ha!

Hi Olga, thank you so much for participating in this week’s photo challenge.
That first photo reminds me so much of slasher horror movies. The movie ‘Halloween’ came to mind straight away. Great photos and I agree, very scary. 🎃

Olga, these are primal and arresting. They bring out an elemental danger feeling that we all feel. Especially those of us who watched the movie Halloween at impressionable ages. 😉 I don’t watch horror anymore either!

I got a few triggers playing with the knife to get the right shot. All for a good cause. Ha ha!

It probably helped you process and find peace, in a small way. Making art out of fear is what we need to do. XOXO
