Entry at photo competition: "just the cold wind blowing" by ted ^ poo-crue


 :::::::::|||||||||%%%%%%0000088 COOL STORY, BRO 8800000%%%%%|||||||||:::::::::


The story to this photo is a story about inspiration, procrastination and
contemplation. Which was, funny enough, the theme I went after in the original,
more elaborate (at least for my standards) image I wanted to create
for this competition.

It started with this sudden idea for a still life, I set everything up all nice
and tidy and cursed the gods trying to get the lighting right.

I took some shots, but left them on my computer hard drive, not doing
anything to them. Probably in the hope they'd age like good wine.

Then Easter came close, and while trying to post process the files
I had to realise that they're crap and I was too ashamed to use them.

Instead, I went out shooting some more.

Now, I'm presenting you this picture. It's a bit more grounded.
I think it's an approximate representation of what was probably on my mind
when I had the idea for the original photo.
