My still life compositions tend toward the minimalistic. Partly, that is because I don't have anything approaching a studio setting; my setups are done on the fly. Also, I rely on window light, which changes through the day.
My photography over the years has mostly been a product of discovery during long walks. With diminished mobility still life seems increasingly appropriate if I want to continue with photography. So I'm going to try to be somewhat more thoughtful in preparations and execution.

I'm sorry to hear that your mobility continues to be reduced. Good luck with more still lifes. I've always enjoyed the ones you've shared.
I can still cover quite a bit of ground if I am not in a hurry. Also, actually formulating some goals before I start out ends up being more productive.
I am looking forward to your exploration of minimalistic still life. I've done a bit myself and I am occasionally successful. Some inspiration may help the cause.
JR, I recall seeing quite a few nice still lifes on your blog. Seems like you just mostly need to do more. I think it can help to have a lighting and background setup always ready to go so that you can focus on subject matter and composition. It seems useful as well to make an effort to identify elements and styles which fit your idea of what makes a good still life.
