Pond Scum... Well Sort Of




Sometimes it takes a couple weeks of planning and building to create just one photograph. Then when you get down to your studio and set all the lights up, turn on the tunes and pop open a beer you think, "Yeah this is going to be an easy one." Right. I've been working on setting up this diorama for quite some time now. Gathering goodies to help recreate a scene I came across four years ago. So since I spent so much time prepping and gather I thought it would be a fast and easy one. Nope, guess not. After a few hours of burning up in my studio, my 1985 fan just ain't cutting it any longer, I decided to call it quits. As I'm going through my "contact sheet" I'm thinking yup it'll be a re-shoot. Then I see this one frame. And yes that is all you need, one frame. This is exactly what I was thinking when I wanted to make this picture. Funny how when I did I passed right over it. Anyways here is "James and Janice's Backyard Pond, Shelbyville, TN 2006".
