2010 the daily post - photo journal
Watermarking in place
01.03.10 = Just an orange. Yesterday morning I got up and felt really inspired and thought I would go out on a photo shoot to shoot this tree I’ve been wanting to capture. Thinking I was so brave to fight the 12 degree temperature, I bundled up with my rag socks and multi layers of clothing. I knew exactly where I was headed and what I wanted to capture. I tromped up a hill through the wet grass and snow to shoot this tree. When I finally got there and began to shoot, I just knew it was going to be a bust. The light was crummy, there was no snow on tree, it was muddy… Feeling defeat and peeling off several layers of clothing in my car, I headed home. So, this is it, an orange from my refrigerator. I was playing around with lighting and some backdrops. I think I need to stick with some studio work on these cold days.
This morning looks to be a better morning…the sun is peeking out but it’s only 7 degrees. I think I’ll stick with the inside shots today?

on January 4, 2010Nothing like an ordinary orange, especially a navel orange like the one you have here. I grew up in an orange grove, and just the sight of one makes me nostalgic.
