"Portrait of an Eloquent Chair" A study in lines and 'color black & whites'.
"Portrait of an Eloquent Chair" was shot for our local botannical garden's annual photo contest. I was working on an exhibit called 'Color Black & Whites" as I was having difficulty getting my color photography exhibited even though many gallery owners liked them. Black and white was the only medium accepted at the time. Exposure was 'Sunny 16' rule standing on another chair while looking down at the shadow and lines of the subject chair. After much rearranging, I finally decided on this chair/shadow position to connect as many lines of the chair with lines in the stonework. This shot took best of show even though it was not necessarily related to flowers or the gardens themselves. Just having fun with subject matter.
