Shot this photo at Oddfellas Cantina on a Sunday afernoon in Floyd in 2004. I was shooting readings by the Floyd Writer’s Circle. At the end of the shoot, I was sitting at a table in the back when I noticed the sunlight and shadows at the rear door. Had one shot left on the Compact Flash card in my Nikon D100 so I leaned back in the chair and took this one shot.
This is exactly how it came out of the camera. Yet it has turned out to be one of the more popular photos taken since my return to Floyd. One print hangs above the cash register at Oddfellas. Another in the office of the Jacksonville Center and I’ve sold about dozen poster size copies over the years.
Sorry to bore everyone with a blast from the past but until my foot heals I’m limited on how much I can get out to shoot.
Maybe next week.
I admire that photo every time I go into Oddfellas. Thank you putting it up here it for others to enjoy.
Oh why bother is moving the sun or the moon. Just move The Roanoke Times to some place that fits their style of doing things. I would suggest Lantana, Florida, which I believe is the home of The National Enquirer.
…or maybe move the Times to Moscow, home of Pravda, which apologies to Pravda.
I am waiting for some know-it-all from The Roanoke Times to claim you cut-and-pasted that chair into the photo. Don’t you know that chairs only appear on the other side of the door at that time of day? You should be so ashamed.
You can bore us all you want Doug as long as you do it with beautiful photos like this one.
