Continuing the theme...

Almost redundant... by Craig Richardson
Almost redundant..., a photo by Craig Richardson on Flickr.
...of punchy black and white images....

One of the things we looked forward to when we swapped the flat for a house with a garden was being able to do washing and not having it drying around the flat for ages - we'd actually be able to use the washing line...

Think we'd forgotten about the North-East weather - the pegs are almost redundant but our new tumble drier gets a lot of use!

[About the photo - I went through a long period a few years back of shooting everything against a black velvet background - portraits, flowers, kids toys, the works. I like to think I have a bit more variety these days though! But this one really shows to me the importance of light to a picture - in this case the strong morning sunlight that's making the peg and the line glow - the background isn't actually black (you can just make out the greenhouse) but the light gives the scene a huge amount of contrast...]
