Another Approach
Hello all,
So here is another approach: a photo of the Occupant's desk right before the Incident took place (check the time on the clock !). As you can see, he had a lot on his mind and was busy writing something.
I had to create some Sunshine Motel Stationary for this one, using previous work done on the Postcard, etc.
I also took a photo with no hand holding the Pen, couldn't decide between both photos, so I am posting it also.
This is open to many variations and improvements, and I have a couple regrets:
- It would have made more sense to have the cigarette pack and matches in the Ashtray, but I don't have one.
- I would have LOVED to make and include a Bus Ticket with no tape and no dirt on it. In essence, it would have been the Bus Ticket in its original condition, as possessed by the Occupant, before Wally got ahold of it. But it was impossible to remove the tape from Paul's reproduction without damaging it, so I dropped the idea.
- I aged the key fob to match the one shown in the series, but the logo and room number do not show up well in the photo - but they are in there.
Any suggestions for improvements or adding other Objects?
Sebastian

Re: Another Approach
Very nice. Also, it raises lots of questions about the time just before the event. It makes one ponder.
Here is your ashtray:
Ashtray
Nearly all of us have bought these and sanded off the Travel Lodge on the bottom. Once you have it, I can give you careful instructions.

Re: Another Approach
I love it! The stationary looks great. If it were me, I'd replace the money with the glasses and perhaps show the Occupant's wrist with the white cuff and black sleeve showing.
I'd also love to see a better pic of your fob and know how you aged it since that's something I've been playing with.
If you'd like an unaged ticket I can send you one or send you the file so you can print one yourself. Just let me know.

Re: Another Approach
Hello everyone and many thanks for the feedback!
Spikosauropod : many thanks for the info re: the Ashtray (you really have all the connections!), I have contacted the seller to see if he would be willing to ship to Europe.... it looks like it will be my next Object!
Paul: The glasses make perfect sense - To be honest, I had thought about them too, but this is the same issue as the Ashtray - I haven't found a good, resembling pair yet... As soon as I do, I will re-shoot the same picture with more "organic" Objects and the result will be better.
I may also add the Sante Fe Notepad and the Scissors in the background as I will have received them by then, but I don't want to clutter the photo too much. We'll see how it looks.
The cufflinks is a really GREAT idea and I am now tempted to buy the red ones on ebay and see if I can paint the stones black!
Will also post a picture of my key fob, but it looks pretty much like the one in the photo you posted a few weeks ago. I also sent you a PM re: the bus ticket!
Many thanks everyone for the feedback! I'm taking good notes and... there's more to come!
Sebastian.
