Description

After a long day of chores and erands, Chip and I finished up by doing the laundry. While checking to see if the clothes were dry, I became fascinated by the reflections in the glass of the dryer door glimpsed between the spinning clothes. I wondered if it would make a good picture. Ever helpless to the call of my Muse, I grabbed the camera and made a few quick shots. This one came out the best, but I got a bit more of myself in it than I was intending. I'm not sure if the experiment was a success or not, but I do think it's kind of interesting. Photographed in The Clothes Pin Laundry on Lawrence Avenue in the Albany Park area of Chicago on January 10, 2011.

I saw you making this. I was also listening to some pretty over the top soap opera intrigue in Spanish. I don't know what was going on, but I suspect that the woman was up to something. This has a nicely surreal edge to it too...I like your fuzzy edge...I won't tell anyone that it's simply underwear blur; that might be too much information. So just pretend I didn't say what the white slurry fuzz is. Now as for the rest of the shot that I WILL describe, this is really nicely seen. I don't think I would have thought to take picture of laundry during a dry cycle, but then there you have it. This is well seen and I love the self referential bit...the photographer IN the photograph. That's always somewhat unexpected. This is a great shot.

I have some crazy memories of laundromats, sure wish I'd had a camera for some of them, just never even thought about it. Great shot all the way around!!

I think it was a huge success! A brilliant idea, and it turned out great. With less of you it wouldn't have been the same image. If you're thinking about more dryer shots, or things along those lines, pray continue! This is super!

I like the way the contents and structure of the dryer and you get a bit jumbled together. Nice spinning motion of whatever is busy spinning. Great reflections with a lot of depth. Excellent shot!
