My Pretty Floral Chair

 

Morning is my favorite time of day and I especially

love shooting still-life photos with a low morning sun streaming

gorgeous light into the scene.

 

This week, I awoke to a beautiful sunny morning,

and decided to haul my favorite floral chair to a field

and photograph it in full morning glory.

 

The chair is so pretty in the photo, you would never know it was

a musty old chair I found at the thrift store!

 

 

When my eyes landed on this beauty from across the thrift store,

I KNEW it was MINE!

 

My heart pummeled as I hurried over to the chair,

worried somebody would snatch it up before I could reach it.

 

Not to worry....NOBODY was noticing this lovely treasure.

 

If you could see this in person...it's not so lovely.

 

It's actually made from vinyl!  I think it's from circa 1959

and likely hid in somebody's basement for years.

 

I had to wipe away dirt and cobwebs from my

$15 thrift store treasure.

 

But, I KNEW it would photograph beautifully

and it DOES!

 

It's perfect for little girl shoots!

 

 

Photography is very forgiving of a less-than-perfect

paint job, outfit or old chair.

 

So, keep your eyes alert to photo props at the

thrift store.

 

Forgive a few imperfections....

in a photo.....it may be PERFECT!
