I had this red vase sitting in the window and I noticed that when the light came in it looked very nice sitting there and added a splash of color to an otherwise not so colorful room. It’s been sitting there for a long time. Last weekend I was walking around a thrift store and spotted 3 more red vases; one was exactly the same as what I already had and the other two were different. I snagged them along with a couple of other treasures and brought them home where they now live in the window awaiting one, maybe two, more to fill in the empty spots.
I thought that the four of them made for a nice photo-op and ended up with this shot for today’s 52 project.
D is for decorative, dutch angle, daydream, daylight, and dominance.
Four Red Vases

Decorative; serving an esthetic rather than a useful purpose.
Dutch Angle; a camera shot in which the camera angle is deliberately slanted to one side. Can be used for a simple dramatic effect, to portray unease, disorientation, desperate action, or even madness.
Daydream; a pleasant dreamlike fantasy indulged in while awake; idle reverie.
Daylight; having to do with the light of day.
Dominance; an object or color that stands out in relation to the rest of the painting or photograph.
