Last April: Peter's farm auction



I thought I'd share with you a piece of my April 2011.

I went to a farm auction with my friend Louise. Her son, Peter, was auctioning off all manner of farm equipment. It was an ideal setting for what I love to photograph. There were scenes of decay, many great collections, one of them being the farmers' pants!!

First the setting. Peter's house was deliciously not modern.


This is Peter, tired but focused. He ran a great auction! 

Here are two other farmers of 300 others.

There was lots of talk & stories and goals. I spoke with one woman who was hoping to get some containers for her orchard's needs.

Here's some of the stuff for sale. I don't understand what this all is, but I think it's right up there visually.  




                                                            & other surfaces

 

On to the textile portion of this outing....
I was captivated by the play of style, stance, folds, & light.
 
  
It was a fabulous field trip!

That's it for today.

    There were some slip-ups this time between my intentions & what blogspot did with them.
    Sometimes I can fix these things and sometimes I can't. I haven't figured that part out yet!
    However, I did learn that if you want to see a photo bigger all you have to do is click on it!
    You can also "subscribe by email" at the bottom.

    I did learn more about improving things, this time around. Still, when I am setting up the blog What I See Is NOT What I Get.

    What's wrong with these blogspotguys?

    It's dead simple to make it work out better. It's only computer technology.
    Zip
    Nothing!!

    Still, I love the content. I think blogs were made for collections like yours.
