how do you make still life look like there is feeling or emotion to it? i mean, things not portraits of people... does this question make sense? if you can respond with experience or other artistic examples i'd be grateful.

HELP! why are some of my photos in scraps
it's very bizarre, some of the photos i've taken have been moved to 'scrap' which is weird because i try not to put things that i consider 'scrap' on here... how do i edit them back to "un-scrap"?
this is annoying- i see things like snapshots and other artwork of low caliber (i would not even say artwork) and it's not in the scrap section... i dont think my photos should be there.
go subjective policing...
no more paid account
drats, my account has run out... and i forgot that there are no more thumbnails when previewing. how did i live without this before dan gifted me? gah!
i am drinking champagne right now, a toast to you!

granted, I'm not very good at still life either, so take any advice I give with a huge dose of salt.
However, I think its very important when doing a still life to remember the meaning of the word Photography which is "To Paint with Light". A lot of times with a still life its not about what the subject is, but how it is lit up. The more dramatic the lighting the better. Try using one very harsh light and pay attention the shadows - the more dark and dramatic the better.
For inspiration go check out the work of David Levinthal (sp?). He does amazing still lives of dolls and toys.
