Chilling Breeze

Posted by Rabbit (Richmond, United States) on 28 December 2007 in People & Portraits.

Who knew this old worn mustard colored sweater would grow to be my favorite? i surely did not think that when i purchased it many years ago in a thrift store. The day i took this photo it was feeling good outside until a breeze would come along... and thats what happend when i went to take this shot. I knew i couldn't move so i just held tight while the cold air rushed over me. Let me tell you, that was a long 2 minutes. The day was a bit overcast and i was using my Show Me That Smile again camera which takes a bit longer to expose.

Yesterday was nice out but it was super busy in the office so - i didn't really do much except make some tea and have my lunch. People are still away for holidays and things like that so it makes my deadlines a bit crazy as i need to hurry & get the ads done.

Tiz the season,
rabbit

Hi Rabbit, Nice you put your head in the space between the wall and the bush. Because it took two minutes to record it would have been difficuly not to wiggle your head? , i think. I like mustard coloured clothes. inbetweencolours, is it green, yellow, brownish?

@the lightwriter: Yellowish looks like an old faded kind of yellow from the 60's

I agree. Truly amazing effect you have here, dear lady. I feel it suits the mood and your title perfectly. The sense of chill really comes across. Wishing you many more good years with your priceless and trusty sweater!

Br-r-r... your description is why I refuse to get out, and shoot! Hey, it's tough on the old man. But great you do, and interesting results. Amazing what comes out of your pin hole cams.

@Dang: awww - you can't be much older than I ;) at least not in your heart.

This is a superb image, I feel one of your best. Perhaps it is the feeling I get when viewing it. It reminds me of an old black and white I have in a family photo album. Something my mother may have taken during a visit to family in Canada. It is a good feeling, thanks for the memories. I like mustard colored clothes and pottery too. Happy New Year.
