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.

Tubs near Batesville Mississippi.

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

I applied for a Photo Residency

I’ve been going to the Slow Exposures shows in Georgia for a few years now. They offer residencies each year to encourage photographers and other artists to set aside some focused time to come to the area and create their art. Residencies are typically at very low or  no cost to the artists so they can focus on their work. Anyways, I had to select 6 photos to show them and also submit a few paragraphs about my art and what I want to do. I wanted to come up with a cohesive group of photos that would show a little about my vision and what I’ve done before. This was much harder than you  can imagine! I came up with 3 different groups of photos. Two done with my Holga cameras and one straight digital. I tried to keep them in the area where the residency is. Here are the three groups I considered.

Which group do you think I should have submitted?

I’ll post my essay and choices in a few days…
