Why is it that when you get a bunch of photogs together in one place and there is an old chair nearby, that chair becomes the center of attention? This happened when we were up shooting at the dog track in Black Canyon City, and it happened during the recent downtown Phoenix photowalk. I was probably the 10th person who actually captured an image of this chair. I think it was even used in a few portraits that were taken in this alley.
This alley is actually a photographic treasure trove. Whatever type of lighting there is gives off an eerie green hue on long exposure captures, add that to the soft focus of the Lensbaby and the first thing I thought of when I say this image after import was that it was “ghostly”.
This image is actually pretty much “out of camera” with the exception of my correcting a lot of the green out of the color balance. Aside from that, a little sharpening and here it is.
