I had trouble finding a subject for my Midweek Moment this week. Nothing I snapped turned out—light too harsh; too many shadows; photo too boring; etc.
Until, I hung a bedsheet over a window. Immediately, the bright afternoon sunlight diffused, and I took this photo of coffee and brownies. My daughter has been home studying for her Year 12 mock exams, so there are two coffees, and although I don’t usually have sweet treats in the middle of the day, I’m making the sacrifice for her.
Monique’s photo is a macro shot of some buttons on an old case organ, circa 1911, in the museum in Bridgetown. She was particularly drawn to the old-fashioned font spelling out the word Trumpet. (The organ was owned by the Freemasons from 1911-1994 before being donated to the museum.)
Midweek Moment is a weekly photographic endeavour in which Monique Mulligan and I team up to share our favourite photos on our websites. It’s a way of stretching ourselves creatively and a nice distraction from writing. Click here for more of our Moments, and here for more of Monique’s photos from Bridgetown.
Lovely latte coloured photos…. I was salivating over the brownies. on a no sugar thing ATM, so it all looks good including your photos. Except for tonic as in gin and tonic!!! Old fashioned font buttons are cute too thank you for the midweek snap, opposed to snack.
Thanks, Nicola! You are so good not doing sugar—I have the biggest sweet tooth, and can only go a couple of days at the most without a fix! As for coffee … my start-up fuel!
Those buttons are absolutely gorgeous, aren’t they? I’ve just put a link in the post to more of Monique’s great photos from Bridgetown. Thanks for your lovely comment! x
I love both of these photos! The warm tones and soft light is beautiful, and those brownies look delicious 🙂
Thanks, Helen! Monique’s photos have made me want to return to Bridgetown, as it looks like an inspirational spot for writing. And yes, the Brownies were delicious! 🙂
I wish I could take photographs like that. Is there anything you don’t excel at Louise?
I’m very humbled by your comment, Pinky! And yes, there are many things I don’t excel at—most things, in fact, but especially cooking and cleaning!
