day 3 of 30 Day Challenge!

Chrome fixtures on an old claw foot tub. Love the shadows! And… look at the ring in this tub!

I was hoping the chrome fixtures on this old bath tub at a restoration place near Batesville, Mississippi would show up well, and it worked out. There are hundreds of old porcelain claw foot tubs sitting outside waiting to be restored and sold right next to one of the main highways. I’ve been there several times and knew there was a picture there, but just couldn’t find “the one”… Photographers know what I mean! lol Anyways, I was there with a group of other photographers and I finally found a few photos that I liked.

These photos are not really about “tubs” but about shapes and shadows. At least they are for me!

Day 1 of 30 day Challenge

This blog has taken a back burner to social media. I’m teetering on the edge of bolting from Facebook with the upcoming election cycle. This 30 day challenge as cheered on by Sheila Delgado is different from last year for me. Last year I did drawings. This year I’m planning to post photos and commentary. I’m still learning to draw, but want to do both. The photo below was one I did with my Holga film camera (big Surprise, I know!) down in Mississippi. I wasn’t sure this would come out, but hoped to get the detail in the front and center and the blurred background. I’m never sure they’ll work out when I do the photos. I was thrilled when I saw the scan!
