Arrangement
The Response: Arrangement in White — Jessica
I do believe that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I have been struggling to figure out and create an image like Valda Bailey’s since I first looked at them. But if I just stop at imitating, I haven’t really created anything worthwhile.
Now that I know the technique, the hard part begins.
(PS: I think that getting outside and doing landscape shots helped too. Oh, and none of the kids liked this one – they are so good at keeping one humble.)
I’d have to say that your kids are wrong. This image is wonderfully paradoxical: it’s peaceful, but makes me feel like I’m caught in a winter storm. I know that it’s a photo, but I’d almost swear it’s a painting. It really is beautiful.
