Still Life with Answering Machine, 2021
Last year I was commissioned by the Audubon Society to create two technology still lifes for their magazine. The photographs accompanied an article on the obsolete technology (answering machines, landline phones) that used to be required for rare bird alerts. It was published in the Winter 2021 Audubon magazine. My still life includes items familiar to bird watchers: binoculars, birder’s journal, flashlight, and compass. Audubon and it’s staff contributed some of the props: binoculars, flashlight, bird clock, and the Bird Photo Booth disguised as a vintage twin lens camera. The birder’s journal and compass were borrowed from my birdwatcher friend, Mary.

Become an arts patron! Support Jeanette May Photography.
My fiscal sponsor, Fractured Atlas, is celebrating the 20-year anniversary of their fiscal sponsorship program by distributing $1,000 to 20 different projects. Every donation that you give toward my sponsored project is one chance that I have to receive this $1,000, so I’m asking for your support! From May 2 - May 8 (you can still make donations after these dates) a donation of any amount not only helps support my work, it also gives me a chance to receive an additional significant amount of financial support.
As you may know, artist studio space in New York City is necessary and expensive. Printing, mounting, and framing a large photograph also costs hundreds of dollars. Of course, I prefer earning my income through the sale of my artwork. Please contact me if you would like to discuss purchasing a photograph. If your walls are full and you would still like to help, you may donate to my fiscally sponsored project, Jeanette May Photography, by clicking this link: https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/jeanette-may-photography
