Photo Shoot

new photo booth

Got one thing right, told the customer the chair would be on the bus Friday.  With that out of the way, things looked clear to get started on Tuesday's project.  Not so fast.  Boss came through with the list of things to be photographed for eBay ads.  Plus, will you write the ad for these old prints.  

Somehow she came up with a pile of pages out of a French architecture publication, dates ranging from 1872 to 1880.  About eighteen inches tall and fairly light paper, I had to fiddle around with more than one idea for getting them to lay flat at the angle needed to get a decent shot of the page.

 Snapped and edited at least fifty shots to get the files for the ad, still going to put them together into panels grouped by date.  Potential buyer can see what we have quicker that way than sorting through a dozen different pictures in the ad. 

Came back after dinner to shoot the painting.  Didn't find any information about the artist, but she certainly turned out at least one decent painting.  Good light, rich color, and the eye is directed into the scene in a comfortable way. Relaxing scene.
