Playing with the camera taking macro shots of some of my antique bottle collection.
Here come the videos! First is my favorite "bottle" song - "Message in a Bottle" by The Police. I picked this particular video because of the great animation by Neil Irwin and Keith Franklin to illustrate the lyrics.
And then there's Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle". I especially love this video, which incorporates home movie footage of Jim with his wife and son. Yeah, I'm a sentimental sap! Enjoy!

Great shots of your bottles, Roy. I have a nice collection of them, myself. I haven't heard Croce's "Time in a Bottle" in ages. Great video. You are a softy.
ReplyDeleteHeh, heh...two great tunes and macros are way cool!
ReplyDelete"Message in a Bottle" takes me straight back to my last year of high school. Great song!

I have no vids, Roy, because I guessed you'd have it covered! Now, these are swirling around in my head.
ReplyDeletethose are gorgeous bottles and wonderful macros. this theme was made for you!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots - and seeing Jim Croce is always a treat. He died way too young.
ReplyDeleteTwo great songs.
ReplyDeleteAh... Time, in a Bottle...
ReplyDeleteMine is here.
How did I know you'd have an antique bottle collection. Nice to see you stretching that macro lens now Roy!
ReplyDeleteCool - are those perfume bottles?
ReplyDeleteAww, I like those songs. My gen has stuff like, "I'm a genie in a bottle baby" lol.
ReplyDeleteAnywho, I found an interesting bottle the other day and it reminded me of you. Made my brother check out your blog.
love time in a bottle...
ReplyDeletenice macros...old bottle have some pretty cool stuff on them...
Roy I loved the bottles...another thing that I love collecting too! And of course who cannot but love Jim and the Police!
ReplyDeleteBeen recuperating from Avatar...the 3D played havoc with the noggin but glad I stopped by!
Roy, the bottle shots are fantastic! Love the hints of color in the first one especially.
ReplyDeleteI can't listen to the Croce song. Not because there's anything wrong with it, but because it makes me too damn emotional. Not as bad as Send in the Clowns, but close! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful bottles you have!
wow, Jim's been gone a long time...wonder if his boy has any of his musical genes? Best folk 'stache ever.
ReplyDeletei should have done the old bottles too. hubby's family used to own an old bottle shop up in Portland, ME.
ReplyDeleteLots of Cool Bottles Roy.Great J.C. Video.
ReplyDeleteI just love that first picture, beautiful - really captures the appeal of old glass.
ReplyDeleteand i love the jim croce too, definately a good blast from the past
