Faces of Copper Country

Copper Country is a place where the past resides in the many items that have long ago been cast aside for newer.  It is a 32,000 square foot time machine.  The many small canyons of stalls that makeup this trip into the past are inhabited with items piled upon shelves beckoning the explorer to examine and hopefully find them new homes.  But as you proceed through this menagerie from the past – faces of various dolls, statues and mannequins peer out at you from various corners.  And, these are the many faces of Copper Country that beckons you to continue your adventure into the past.   


The key to capturing these faces is to use a shallow depth of field by shooting at a wide-open aperture in-order to isolate these faces from the cluttered background and foregrounds that surround them.  The camera was set for an ISO of 800 and a super wide-angle lens was used on some of the subjects to create a distored effect.
