Beginning my own new photo series with a theme of windows. This photo:
has led me to this book, which I think I really must own: Eating Her Wedding Dress: A Collection of Clothing Poems, edited by Vasiliki Katsarou, Ruth O’Toole, and Ellen Foos. Description: One hundred contemporary poets—local stars and literary luminaries such as Kim Addonizio, Margaret Atwood, Billy Collins, Elaine Equi, Jorie Graham, Maxine Kumin, Paul Muldoon, and Charles Simic—join together in this anthology to celebrate clothing in its many forms and functions: as desire, as ghost, as body, as poetry, as talisman, as transformer of the soul.
This is exquisite! I look forward to more.
Thank you, Gary.
reflection photos are great.
wedding dresses are sooooo extravagant…
Wedding dresses are off the hook!
I’m obsessed with windows, doors, and gates, so I figured I might as well put it to good use.
I look forward to the series … and I would love to see that book too.
Thanks! I figure turnabout is fair play as I enjoy your ongoing NOLA photos.
That’s quite a dress!
Great idea for a photo theme!
I wonder how pricey that little number is…
Thanks–now if I could just get my dogs to pose in wedding dresses in a window with hot guys…
What a stunning composition. Truly a little of what one might call “through the looking glass” . . .
Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you’ll take many more – as thought-provoking as they are beautiful.
Thank you. I hope you’ll keep sharing what you get from them, too.
I can only hope a photo of High Fashion’s window is in my future. Did anyone else notice how calmly and sans hysteria I managed to type that? : )
You are very brave.
Palmtree Weddings
I guess its just tradition, that its not office space to wear Hawaiian shirts to weddings that occur on Fridays ;0).
I like how the tree seems rooted by the fabric. (Or the tree is saying, does this dress make me look fat?)
Re: Palmtree Weddings
Thank goodness there isn’t a tree reflection in the dress’s arm opening. That might look kind of unkempt. 😉
