Description

A couple of months ago Elizabeth aka G_Mansco posted a photograph of a fan. I have the same fan, and she got me started thinking about things I could do with it! (See her gallery post for February 29th.) I took a whole bunch of shots, and this was the one I liked best. The reason my fan is dark along the upper edge where Elizabeth's is not, is that one day a year or so ago I picked up the fan and it slipped out of my hand and fell, plop!, into my glass of Drambuie. (I am a VERY light drinker, and was totally sober at the time. Really!) It dried to a beautiful shade, don't you think? And yes, I still drank the Scotch, in case you're wondering, and suffered no ill effects. I'm sure the alcohol killed any germs that may have been on the fan, and it's probably a sin to waste even one jigger of Drambuie! I hope your weekend has been lovely! * hic! *

Despite the 'dambruie' accident, this has helped with a lovely composition. The details are just super!

This is a gorgeous image! I've been on this HUGE color kick lately...wandering around in the wee hours of the night, trying to see and capture images that pop with color! Needless to say, THIS image embodies so much of what I'm hunting for...though there's this other side of me that's also playing around with shadows and darkness...funny how the brain works! Anyway...I love this image, and the Drambuie-tinged fan is a wonderful touch. The story is amusing as well...
