Around the house without a flash

December 02, 2012  •  1 Comment

It's been a very busy week, full of highs, lows, variable weather, dinner invitations and lots of travel. Sunday has been the first day of proper rest, a time to take stock and re-energise the batteries. So the morning started with a lie in listening to BBC World Service and a long walk with the dog over the back fields and nature reserve followed by a hearty brunch.

The afternoon was taken up with domestic chores and processing the photographs from the past few days. Amongst this was a conspiracy with my wife not to go out and do the food shopping, but, batten down the hatches, get the fire on, devise a lovely winter supper and make some flapjacks.

As Lesley was making supper I had a moment of boredom and decided to challenge myself by taking a few pictures with the camera, without the flash of various objects around the ground floor of the house, just to see if I could make mundane objects look interesting.

Did I succeed? Well, you will have to be the judge of that. Included in the photographs is an image of Lesley's father in uniform taken in 1945, a button from my jacket and another framed picture of Lesley's paternal grandmother You can clearly see the similarity. Whilst I enjoy taking images of various objects, I still come back to people. They are much more interesting and fascinating to observe and record. I'm looking forward to getting some more studio work done this week.
