My 'Dear Photograph' fail...

Seeing the 'Dear Photograph' tumblr on so many blogs at the moment (even one of my best friends sent me the link) reminds me of my failed attempt at this kind of photograph with Thomas's family beach hut last August.

It doesn't look quite so impressive when

1. you're facing the wrong direction
2. there's a giant windbreak in the photo
3. you're holding the photo at a wonky angle...

I gave up after two attempts! haha!

Perhaps I'll try again soon...

p.s you see a better scan of the photo and more of the beach hut here. It's a bit out of date though as its been raised and now has steps again.

Gracie said...: I still think you made a good attempt at it. I'm pretty hopeless with taking interesting shots. I think you should attempt it again. x; 24 June 2011 at 02:15

GeeGee said...: Im glad you tried it - I think that it looks so easy but then you've shown how hard it is to get the right angle and everything else! you've reminded me to try it though, I will remember...! The hut looks so small there, I wonder how else it can be done. Perhaps the one with granny and family in it on the earlier post, from the right hand side?; 24 June 2011 at 22:05
