A black and white print of a man playing banjo in front of a window display of a store. The man sits on a small folding chair, facing left, smiling widely as he strums the banjo in his lap. His banjo appears typical, though he’s stuck a can coozie underneath the strings down by the base under his wrist. He wears a pair of hickory stripe overalls, an open denim jacket, a nice curly mullet, and a baseball-style cap that’s dark at the front and white at the back, with a patch that sits on the front. Behind him is the storefront, two and a half rows of tiles line the bottom while large panels of glass make up the rest. It’s difficult to make out what’s in the window display as the reflections from the street and buildings across from it obscure anything.
A black and white print of a glass chandelier from below as it hangs in a tree. This was taken at the Asheville Arboretum during an exhibition. The chandelier has seven arms, though only 4 of the cups and their crystals can be seen. The center, or bottom of the chandelier, appears to be made up of three layers of glass, including a ring of crystals hanging from the second round. The glass overall is textured like scales? The tree it’s hanging from is in the background, mainly stemming from the bottom left, but branches up across the whole image. The overall value of the image is in the mid range, with highlights reflecting off of the glass and shadows on the tree limbs making up most of the dark tones.
Whoops I missed #FilmFriday! Here’s two prints I made during a college course, where we had access to a lab and dark room. The only time I attempted street photography. 🐶
