I can’t remember the last time I entered a contest, but this is one I want to win! What’s up for grabs, you ask? A red Lola Epiphanie camera bag, that’s what.
I have TONNES of red in my photo collection. What to choose?
I decided upon the most iconic red I could think of: Judy Garland’s ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz, in the (Smithsonian) Museum of American History, Washington, DC. The shoes have seen better days, but they must be worth a fortune by now. I shot this almost five years ago through museum glass with a cheap digital point-and-shoot, so I had to glam it up a bit to match the feeling from the film. Technically it’s not a great photo, I have much better ones that I could enter. But that weekend in DC was a memorable trip, the last road trip David and I took together before I had to wait out my visa in Vancouver and before he got sick. If I don’t win, at least I took a happy skip down memory lane… a yellow-bricked one.
Wish me luck!
