Tom Lussier Photography
Nature Wrapped
As I was processing images for a client(a local Bed & Breakfast) this image struck me as very soothing to look at. There is something about the interplay of natural elements(the Clematis vine) with manmade elements(the statue and wood) that I felt had such a pleasing combination of complimentary contrasts.
The B&B where I shot this is Silverbrook Farm Bed & Breakfast near historic Hillsboro, Virginia. The original part of the house(still in use) was built in the mid 1700's. This image is in the outdoor shower area where guests can enjoy bathing under the clouds or stars. It is not my usual "category" of uploads to Flickr but, believe me, I shoot just about everything. (Except nudes/boudoir...) :) I have photographed almost every nook and cranny of this property, both indoor and out, and keep going back to catch moments in time such as this. The owner, a gracious elegant lady in her 70's, calls me to let me know that "such and such is blooming" or "the house and barn are going to be decorated for a wedding on Saturday so come at 2:00 and you'll have the place to yourself".
The photography I have provided her is now going into their new website and, hopefully, will bring her more business. She also tells me she is writing a book about the farm, where she has lived her whole life, and wants to feature my photography. If you would like to see more of this special place please visit my website and go to the "Bed and Breakfast" gallery.
Please take a moment and click on the image to see it large on a black background. I would challenge you to open it in the "Original" size to soak in the textures and details. Thank you in advance for looking at my work and for any comments, critiques and favorites. :)
And I would greatly appreciate it if you would not use my images without my consent.
