The girl with the vacuum cleaner - # 08/10



Take Ham House, drop in some back lighting, a conservation cleaner, an Olympus C7070 compact and you get Rembrandt and Vermeer.  (I had planned a shot with two walking sticks but it didn't work. So you got this instead.  Sorry).

    Well this is a great shot but I'm bummed about the sticks. Get to working on it. The challenge will give you something to do! I expect to see them tomorrow!

    You can never take the School M'am out of some southern chicky-babes!!

    That looks like a powerful vac for restoration work! The light is a bit overwhelming for my tender eyes, but I like the sepia effect.

    Ah-ha, I thought the walking sticks would be difficult! Keep thinking - else you'll have Virginia (and me) after you...!

    I love the concentration and care one feels looking at this shot. This comes across with all your wonderful Ham House shots.

    Oo ... yes ... did not think to take this image to its logical extreme.

    So ... are you?

    I've just stumbled across your blog and am delighted to have found it. I'm a great fan of Richmond: have stayed there many times, the longest was in 1972, three months up on Richmond Hill. Also devoted to Ham House, so much so that I set one of my murder mysteries there.
    I shall keep an eye on your site. Thanks for creating it.
    Cheers,
    Brian

    Was going to post a comment on the Loo pic above but scrolled down and saw this - a great portrait of a woman at work and the detail is simply lovely.

    Your reference to Vermeer and the light is definitely appropriate!
