I love these photos taken by Mitchell Feinberg (Muse Italy, fall 2008) which play with the idea of representing pure form and texture with objects that are so familiar to us. A selection of luxury items were delicately pushed into a white powder and removed to leave these imprints.
The white powder is translucent enough to reflect the light yet it is also dense enough to make an impact. mmmmmmmmmmmmm dreamy.
With the omission of colour and the absence of object are we, the reader, affected by these photos? It seems to me that even after a week of discovering these images, they were still embedded in my mind (PUN LOLZ) but one thing that frustrates me is that unlike other accessories editorials where the items are displayed in a traditional way, here, we are not looking AT the object. We are looking at its' ghost. 
I want to indulge in the idea of owning an accessory and how can I when all I am left with is a fading footprint in the sand?BUT then again, I do actually like this spread. The concept is innovative and the muted tones serve to prove even more how the quality in these carefully selected pieces will stand the test of time. Just like real fossils have. and do. and will.
