Get Pushed Challenge 521 My partner this week challenged me to take a photograph of something that is unique to my area. I chose to photograph the statue of Senator Sam Ervin, Jr. which stands in the square surrounding the old courthouse in town. Sam Ervin was the chair of the Senate Watergate Committee (1973). He was born, raised and practiced in the town where I live. He has been quoted as saying he was "just a country lawyer." The challenge was not photographic. It was getting up and out of the house early enough to get the morning light and cooler temperatures. I did it!
@dkbarnett Here is a renowned man in the US for having presided over the Watergate hearings. His statue is surrounded by roses, which according to his family, was something he took pride in growning. Thank you for the challenge.
@grammyn Thanks Katy. The light was worth getting up and out. @wakelys Thank you Sue. I'm not often out to shoot at this time of day. @will_wooderson A bronze colored metal statue catching the early morning sun. Thanks Will. @mcsiegle Thank you Mary. Yes we can claim him as a son I guess. It was worth getting out of bed early to get that light. @thewatersphotos Thank you Gary on both counts. @mirroroflife I will tag you when I upload a b&w version. You tell me what you think. @jacqbb Thank you Jacqueline. @olivetreeann Thank you Ann. I've not been giving my photography much effort in recent months. This month of prompts were inspiring.
Thanks for doing the challenge. It certainly is lovely light on the statue and well done for getting up early for this one. You have certainly nailed the challenge.
