still standing

Ricoh Capilo R5

We went the wrong way
down a dirt track
and there it was
just waiting to be appreciated
waiting to be seen
before it fades
back into the earth
back into
someone’s
memory

Lovely image Clare! The sepia suits it so so well!!! Have you been deleting and re-uploading? Or otherwise why hadn’t I come across these images of yours before??? ;)
Clare Colins replied

Thanks DF…it’s always been here…maybe further down the page :))

Love the dreamy quality the colouring gives it. Combine with the warm light in the front, slightly brooding sy in the back and the writing it makes for a really great piece.
Clare Colins replied

Thank you very much for your lovely critique of my work :)

I like your story. It’s heartwarming and it gives the little cabin some charm. Great shot and I love your treatment!

Sepia. Why do we love sepia?

It is where our memory goes when the world and its tethers and quandries have bled us of colour.

Sepia is where our childhood lives.

In lost toys and broken barns.
Clare Colins replied

So true. Perhaps we remember in sepia…perhaps the colour fades with time :)

I really like the treatments here. Well done!!
Clare Colins replied

Thank you Scott. I played around until I liked the result…I’m not sure that I remember what I did!
Scott Denny

That happens to me now and again. I guess that is what makes every piece unique.
