Open Studios bathroom

Bathroom as art?  We toured quite a few galleries and studios over the weekend during the Metropolitan Arts Council's Open Studios.  There is a lot of amazing and beautiful and challenging art in the area. Some we loved, some we thought about, and some we clearly didn't get on any level - and puzzle why the less we get it, the higher the price!!

Art Bomb is a shared space studio in a beautiful old building way out on Pendleton St.  We unfortunately didn't get most of the art, but the building and gardens are great.  The first is the wall and door to the outside shower...clearly the work of an artist, and the second is one of the panels inside the shower - rust can be so beautiful! 

Turn Around

I keep learning this lesson, so I thought I'd pass it on to anyone who might learn it quicker. The one advantage to being a slow learner, however, is that I keep getting surprised.
We were out in Athens (GA) on an overcast day and as I got into the car, I turned around to see this old, rusted, graffitied water tank. I still need to get a picture on a clearer day, but here it is with some photo techniques I used to bring out the color and texture. It's not done yet, but it's such a good example, of the benefits of turning around!
