Abstract
"An experimental exercise with extension tubes, picturing textures in extreme closeup. Such materials as salt, bread, leaves, nylon hose, coffee grounds, book edges, etc., are shown highly magnified, then later identified in medium closeup shots. Idea is similar to quiz feature appearing currently in the Ford Times magazine. Camera used was a 16mm Bolex with one-inch lens and 1/4", 1/2", 3/4" and 1" extension tubes." – Home Movies, Sept. 1947, p. 586
