crinoline, 8x10 archival print fashion photograph of vintage 1950s crinoline and sky

Description

“crinoline” is one in a new, ongoing series of photographs, "the catalogue of collected style," which showcases various vintage items i've picked up over the years.

this, i think, is my favourite shot in the series of far. i wrapped my vintage '50s red crinoline around a random and unusually tall twig/plant, aimed my camera at the sky and waited for the wind to pick up. it was not a particularly windy day, with only spurts of a breeze now and then, which resulted once again in the neighbours gawking and likely thinking i'm insane, sitting out on the lawn with a red crinoline wrapped around a twig waiting for wind. the result, however, was worth the wait, regardless of what the neighbours think.

about the photo:
specs
camera: pentax k-1000, 50mm lens
film: fujichrome velvia RVP 100, expired; cross-processed

this photograph is professionally printed on 8x10” kodak supra endura paper with a glossy finish.

all of my prints have a stamp of my logo on the back to ensure authenticity and each photograph comes packaged in an clear, acid-free re-sealable bag with an acid-free, white 50 point backing board made of 100% recycled fibre. it is shipped in a sturdy photo mailer to prevent damage during transit.

aside from occasional cropping, i don't digitally alter my images and my photography has a decidedly vintage bent. i shoot people, places and all kinds of unusual things.
