plumber’s wrench

Taking another photographic approach to old hand tools that has been around for many years, I give you the Stillson Pipe Wrench. This basic design has been with us for decades, in fact for almost 150 years and these well used examples once belonged my father. I am comforted that some day I will continue the legacy and pass them on to my son. Once again I have avoided the studio and it’s lighting choosing to capture this image out side. I used the late afternoon sun as it filtered through the leaves of an apricot tree in the back yard. This gave me both the warm glow and the soft cool fill from blue sky.
