Looks like a sepia washed pic, but not an accident. Some of the most aesthetically pleasing photos I've seen in family albums have been snaps from a Kodak instamatic where something's gone wrong and the result is an impressionistic Monet-like picture.
Everyone manages to take at least one superb, professional-style photograph in their lives, often completely by accident. This is Eddie's, and it's a cracker. And I hope the car problems have been sorted out!
This poem from the First Known When Lost blog seems right up your alley - it was the line 'Faded ephemera of non-events' that struck me particularly: http://firstknownwhenlost.blogspot.com/2011/03/neglected-poets-joan-barton.html#comment-form
you are right ! it really is lovely
ReplyDeleteThat is a memorably beautiful photograph. How interesting "ordinary" people's lives are!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is one to treasure. When something turns out this good for me, I tend to refer to it as a 'happy accident'.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, dreamy photograph.
