Drying the Negatives...???

Todays challenge in Our Daily Challenge is: Odd... well this certainly fits the bill.

There is a story to this shot though...sort of.

Some time ago, it was decided that there would be a "fish day" in the 365 Community Group. That day was going to be November 30. The idea behind the fish day was that there was these "Fortune Fish" that were mailed out to anyone who wanted one/some and that they were to take a shot of these fish and contribute them to the group all on the same day...November 30. I signed up for my fish and had decided that my shot of the fish would entail hanging them on a "clothesline" to mimic the old Maritime tradition of drying salt cod on a clothesline. I even found these tiny little clothespegs at a Dollar/craft store that are less than an inch long and very colorful. Unfortunately, my fish didn't get here in time to post a shot for November 30 but they did arrive the other day. So today, my shot with the fish and clothesline for the 365 Community and that all led to this....LOL! Talk about the long way around... This is from the thought of how far we have come from the days of hanging negatives on a clothesline (sort of) to dry...

So, after all that explanation, this very "story" also fits the topic of "odd"... LOL!!

Another idea for a series is shaping up here... LOL!! 100 shots on a clothesline...hhmmm??
