Description


Mackay Mansion Virginia City, Nevada October, 2013 If the room hadn't been roped off I would have moved the chairs around and taken a bunch of different shots. It's a minor consideration, though ... this was all about the light.

Talk about timing! I love this image, because of the light, and because of that writer's chair. The image here has nothing to do with what I'm listening to, and yet, there's a strange connection. Who would have thought that the light in Nevada (in an upstairs bedroom) would fit so perfectly with a Macedonian folk song? And yet it does. Well, at least I think the song is Macedonian: the name is in non-Russian Cyrillic. If you're interested, you can hear the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_T0cPFc-vU As for this photo, it's impossible to not want to step past the barrier and take other photos from different angles. The light is perfect; those chairs are perfect, the colors are delicious and so complex, but they're subtle. This is incredibly well seen, and there's a nicely slippery quality to it that could exist anywhere, and not just Nevada. This is making a trip into my favorites, and don't be surprised if a story comes oozing out.

More elegance, and a most evocative image.

The light is pure, blindingly white, yet, like an elegant balancing act, it illuminates the objects in a surprisingly subtle way. Of course the light doesn't do this on it's own - it required a perceptive observer. And though I can understand your urge to rearrange the objects in the room, personally I prefer the challenge of photography that takes what it finds & tries to transform it (through composition, camera settings or postwork) into as appealing an image as possible...

I see why you wouls have wanted to move the chairs around. They are places a bit strange :-) But it is a wonderful shot with super light in there.

Wow, that's breathtaking! I can see why you would have wanted to get in there and get it from all angles...beautifully done!

The light through the window reveals that there is a presence here. Like a scene from a ghost movie. Definitely a story. The bed, the scarf, the desk all speak of a hidden history. Or it could just be a museum exhibit. Fantastic atmosphere.

Just gorgeous light in this capture, Tara! I love the way it seems to flow into the room. And there's just the right amount of detail in the shadows - this is awesome!

Create with light and shadow atmosphere.... that you can very well, Tara! Step out the dark half in the sun... is how to create new life. Excellent !!!

Lovely. Makes one want to look more into the room. Also, for me, it sets the mind to wandering on what the days were like for the occupant of this room. did they sit in a chair at times and just enjoy the light?

The writing desk intrigues me, as does that very interesting chair. I wonder if any great works of literature were created there. Or perhaps just simple letters to a loved one in far away lands. I would have liked to see the whole room.

It makes me think to my grand mother house in the 1950's.

Beautiful. Peaceful. This looks like a room from a simpler time. One that you could curl up with a good book, relax and forget about troubles. This is the kind of room that you could get a really good nights sleep in. As always, you have captured not only the light, but the feeling of this room. I do believe this is my favorite of all of your work.
