Fork Scupture

Hi All, thought I'd post something in response to Janet's prod. Sorry for not posting more, I'm so behind in my projects and in a bit of a funk to boot. Bad combination. A few month ago i posted a maquette of a fork and spaghetti sculpture for Little Italy in Omaha, NE. The project is a 13' fork twirling spaghetti out of stainless steel. The design was created in conjunction with an engineer and was designed to make the best use of materials/budget. Here are some progress picts.

Thanks Jamie, a professional photographer from the neighborhood where the sculpture is going came out and took some picts. It's amazing how much better the picts are compared to the ones i take. I might start working the fees for professional photography into each bid so I can get pictures like this on all of my projects.

Jake,
That's a great idea...I never thought of doing that. Good idea! That would definitely help in putting together your portfolio and also to get a website going...for a site you need lots of pics. and good ones too!

Good luck!
