Carl Warner can make landscapes out of anything. He photographs everyday objects then spends a few days assembling the photos into ‘foodscapes’ and ‘otherscapes.‘

Furniture I light-painted for the Hillger Furniture Company. Each piece is handcrafted by a talented Ohio carpenter I know. His work is incredible and his talent is undeniable.

A few years ago I started wet shaving, wanting to try and shave with a brush and shave soap and then I switched to double-edge razors. Recently I came across some vintage razors at some antique shops and decided to clean them up and give them a go. Despite being decades old they shave better than my newer Merkur 1904 DE razor. 

So being a photographer always looking for another challenge, I decided to light-paint these small reflective objects to try and make them look as appealing as possible. So far this is my (growing) vintage razor collection. The straight edge was given to me by a longtime friend. It was his grandfather’s and eventually I’ll get it restored and make the jump to straight edge shaving but for now it’s a wonderful addition to my collection.

Two churches located across the street from each other. At least the Catholics have a sense of humor.

So tonight I did some photo restoration for a family friend. At first when I saw the photograph I thought it was a black and white photograph (above) that was discolored from years of being in the dark. But I held my doubts and waited till I got it into Photoshop and to my surprise there was color information to be saved.

The photo below is my final result. I'm not a Photoshop wiz. Most of this was done with patience and a lot of clone stamping, some color correction, level adjustments and a lot of fiddling and trial and error. But I'm pleased with the result and I know my friends will be happy.
