I pulled over to the side of the road and walked in the mud for this one -- a piece of wood off a collapsed tobacco barn. It held up for a month or so before it disintegrated, but I got my money's worth!

I love this thread. The background is a perfect set for the harp.

I would have picked it up too! Love the texture of the wood and the blanket.

It's a ceiling tile...one that goes over fluorescent lights. I picked it up at Lowes hardware on clearance for less than a dollar. I've used it with some of my rubber duck shots as well.



Wow! This is a great idea and looks neat, too.


Thanks!! :)

I have the balls and rack, but no pool table, so I just used a sheet of blue foam bought at the craft store that's larger than 8x10.

I love this thread...I think I am going to try some new stuff on my next shoot...

~1 year old on a leather couch with popcorn. (finally got the little bugger to sit still.)


My poor daughter freezing her but off in the early fall rain.



a piece of blue felt (and a snowflake about 4" in diameter).


One of my favorites (despite the popularity-lack there of- in my gallery.)
A piece of fur my husband wore for halloween when he was a mountain man, wrapped around an air mattress.

If I might make a humble suggestion here? Your model's forehead looks like it has some blemishes. Perhaps some re-touching might improve this image's popularity. I like the pose a lot.
