Well, I don't know if anyone remembers Phil's beautiful picture of an ugly lamp?
Well, I just got a roll processed and have the perfect answer to the abominable lampshade!
An abominable couch I found at a space exhibit. They had interiors built and everything was held by screws and glue so composition was a bit awkward

So, here's a taste of how space was won

Wow, the walls on the third one look highly hypnotic

I'm sure my sisters bedroom had a similar theme to that third one.

and just to keep up the brown tone colours.

Francois, Im really loving that series of images, especially the first one.

Phil, totally diggin the lines and textures in your shot.

Cute puppy HF!

I dont do much color. This is part of an abandoned house complex like place up in the hills around the desert where I live. I cant recall what kind of film it was but I think it was Kodak Portra of some sort.

LOL! Its a playhouse Suzi. Its on a pretty big lot of land with a bunch of junk and lots of buildings. It was up in the Tehachapie mountains, if I spelled that right. Its an interesting place where there are more abandoned homes than lived in homes and a sea of windmills that spread out over the mountains. I saw two wolves up there at one of the homes that was actually lived in. Beautiful but scary. They just stood and stared at me and made no sound while the regular dog was running around and barking like crazy.

Thank you Miller! It was a Holga camera. I sure wish I could remember the film type because I like the color and have been thinking about more projects where color would be more appropriate.

Andrea, I love tepee's!!! Thats a great shot! I was into blacksmithing for a while, which was in fact one of the reasons why I bought a house in the middle of nowhere, and there was a guy who made a smithie in a tepee. It was great and all the toxic smoke and fumes were naturally funneled out the top.

Thanks everyone!
I know I had a great time shooting those. And the people were really cooperative by not stepping in front of the camera while I did the long exposures.

Phil: is that indoor or outdoor? Hard to tell since it looks like an overpass bridge...
Mike: Cute puppy... how old is it?
Erin: These look more like hunting shacks than anything else... if the locals are anti-social, it must be scary.
Andrea: Tee-Pee in Britain? Well I'll be darned...

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #12 on:** September 16, 2010, 07:21:26 PM »

François, it is indoors. It's an unfinished hotel - long unfinished!

I think it would have been less than a year old. However this was 25+ years ago.

Andrea I wouldn't have wanted the family politics to decide who was in which tent. Brides family in one grooms in another.

Mojave, that´s a fantastic one, great mood.

Teepee's were for the reception of the wedding I went to. In a field overlooking the North Sea. Two teepees housed the tables for the wedding 'breakfast' and the other with rugs etc for lounging round a fire - rather like a forge :-) . There was a fourth teepee with toys for the kids to play with a futon inside. We slept in there on the second night after the wedding - there was a barbecue there and we couldn't be bothered to find anywhere to stay that night! That's Eve my partner getting up in the morning!

Nice wedding too, Sir Chris Hoy [http://www.chrishoy.com] and several other be-gonged personages I used to work with were there.
