Sally @salza challenged me to make a photo of an imperfection. Second of two things I’m posting. As I said on the other, I hope broken down stuff counts as “imperfection.” This is one of two wicker chairs I have on my back porch. I believe it started out as my grandma’s, then got a lot of use on the front porch of the house I grew up in. I loved sitting out on that porch with parents and/or siblings on summer evenings, particularly stormy evenings watching the rainwater flow down the darkened street. Ah! Simpler times. Obviously it’s seen better days. This one is a rocker. It’s companion (not a rocker) from my childhood gave way to one from a thrift store in a bit better condition. As I was sitting out in the chair Saturday evening, I realized this lumpy pillow at my back was not comfortable, and when I went to get another from in the house to serve temporarily, I noticed the chair’s severe “imperfection” and thought of my challenge.
We are get-pushed partners for this week. Your challenge this week is reflections. It can be mirror, window, water, or whatever reflection catches your eye. If you'd prefer a different challenge, let me know and I'll set another.
So long as it's not dangerous to sit on it's nice to keep it as part of your family heirloom. Nice shot.
The shot of yesterday was taken through a traffic mirror in a dangerous corner of a street. As to the grey area I created it on photoshop just for fun.
Yes, there are some things that just linger when we know they could be replaced. Who would really want to throw out the representation of such wonderful memories? I'd keep it and perhaps even restuff the pillow. But that's me- I love family history. Good shot!
we're paired up for the coming week... how do you feel about some work photography? either incorporate words into an image artistically, or create letters from found objects, or find letters in found objects... i hope that works for you!
