crinoline

“crinoline” is one in a new, ongoing series of photographs, "the catalogue of collected style," which showcases various vintage items i've picked up over the years.

this, i think, is my favourite shot in the series of far. i wrapped my vintage '50s red crinoline around a random and unusually tall twig/plant, aimed my camera at the sky and waited for the wind to pick up. it was not a particularly windy day, with only spurts of a breeze now and then, which resulted once again in the neighbours gawking and likely thinking i'm insane, sitting out on the lawn with a red crinoline wrapped around a twig waiting for wind. the result, however, was worth the wait, regardless of what the neighbours think.

aside from occasional cropping, i don't digitally alter my images and my photography has a decidedly vintage bent. i shoot people, places and all kinds of unusual things.
