So a quick search of the ol’ interweb brought me 12 plastic pails just in time for the shoot. Well, what do you do with 12 plastic pails once they’ve served their purpose as a prop (aside from recycle them or try to pawn them off on your friends’ children)? Make something bright and vacuous!

It reminds me of the end of Le Ballon Rouge, Albert Lamorisse’ 1956 short film.

From Reykjavik’s gay pride parade earlier this month:

Each time I’d pass it seemed there was a new bouquet in the window and each time the light and scene outside made the same window unique.

On a related note, like past years, I’ll be donating a print to the Ah Haa school in Telluride for their annual fundraising auction. I was thinking about sending one of these (probably the second or last one) mostly because I really want an excuse to print one of these and see how it comes out. I have to decide and send them a jpg of the image, whatever it maybe, on Monday, so I’ve got the weekend to mull it over.

Here are a some milk crates bookended by two images of dappled light (more dappled light here and here). Enjoy.
