Bad hair day





Not sure why I like this pic. Maybe it’s the stark nature of the scene or the atmosphere - I love a bit of mist. I was sitting at the PC looking through old files and it popped up in a folder I hadn’t looked at for a couple of years.

I took it while out for a walk in the mist not long after we moved to St Andrews. I thought the freshly-cropped hedge looked a bit sad and pathetic, like someone who had just had a really bad haircut. I was having a footer with it and thought it looked good with a bit of grain and so I went for a 13x19” print. Definitely on the minimalist side.

  1. Thank you, Omar. It was a bit of a slow burner for me but I thought there must have been something about it that made me stop and have a good look.

  2. At first glance, it looks like your printer ran out of ink, or you held off on dipping part of it in developer. It catches my eye, because I want to figure out what's going on.
