This week, Anne challenges us to a “Virtual Scavenger Hunt.” Such fun! I love rummaging around attics or old garages. In this week’s challenge, we are to find 5-to-10 photographs in our archives that match up with the categories Anne has prescribed – a virtual scavenger hunt! So here goes!
Something with a cool shadow…
From Grace Farms, New Canaan, CT
Something with a design …
The design on a piece of ceramic art
Something circular …
A peach dahlia!
Something with a camera …
A slight cheat… I didn’t shoot this image, but I did include an image of this camera on a previous website quite some years ago. This is significant because the Exakta pictured here was the first SLR camera I owned. It came to an ignominious end when I backed into a sinkhole on a rock ledge in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Until then, it had given me much pleasure while I learned about photography. The Exakta camera, almost identical to this one, was also the first mass-market 35mm single lens reflex camera, in 1936.
Something with a soft texture …
The figures here of the young boy and shy girl in the midst of a budding romance were found in the Descanso Gardens in Pasadena, CA. I found them utterly charming. Naturally, the figures are cast and so more or less solid. But in the image, they have a distinctly soft appearance, thus I think it qualifies for the scavenger hunt. And they’re so charming.
Something with water in it …
An autumn pond in the woods
Something with a bumpy texture …
Bark of a cork tree
That’s my offering for this week’s challenge. Many thanks to Anne for suggesting the Virtual Scavenger Hunt. It was fun. If you would like to participate in this great challenge, go here for a helpful introduction.
