This gallery is a complete chronicle of my 40th year, starting on my birthday in 2008. I posted one photo each day for a year. The photo-a-day project continues in this gallery here.
June 19, 2008; Day 48.
I received this scarf as a gift from a woman I adore. I met her when I lived in Syracuse, NY, from 1990-1994. While I lived there she would grind up fresh parmesan cheese and deliver it to me in Mason jars. Yum! She turned 90 last November and I was delighted to be able to attend the celebration. I wanted to include a photo of it in my thank-you note; this is the one I will send.
This is lit by my wireless flash held about 2 feet above the subject. I put the flash near the wall to keep the chair from casting shadows. This brought out a lot of texture from just about everything: scarf, chair, wall. I haven’t decided whether including the corner was a good idea. I was glad that I managed to keep most of the abundant white trim in the room out of the frame.
