DEAD THINGS 1


This is the first, and my favourite so far, of my Dead Things images. I love the decayed colours - they remind me of old faded fabrics and Aubusson rugs. I decided to use this as my desktop background at work and showed it to some of my work colleagues. They looked a bit nonplussed at why someone would want to take a photograph of a dead plant so I enthusiastically told them how different everything looks once you put a camera to your eye. But they didn't get it at all.

I must remember that not everyone gets blown away by the same things that I do!

  4. I'm bowled over by your ability to get some beauty out of 'dead things' :) Dead in technical terms, perhaps, but completely alive in this lovely capture.

  5. My fiance reminded me of this the other day. "you see things so differently that most people, you're weird. don't expect normal people to get it." I was like, ya, i'm weird. yay. I love this and your words, the faded colour is amazing. I just love it.
