Just Plain Old
7. April 2010 by David.
I think the title just about says it. This is the side of a well weathered old compressor and valve that’s been sitting outside for several years. I’ve looked at it for as many years and finally decided it might make an interesting photograph.
Keep Clicking

The Eye of a Cleaner
14. January 2010 by Friedhelm.
While I was photographing at DC Cleaners in Chowchilla, CA I tried to make myself invisible. I was hiding in between racks when one of the workers walked towards me with clean garment in her hands. I photographed her while she was hanging them up. Camera setting: 85mm lens, f2.8, 1/50sec., ISO 400.
Enjoy and next time you pick up your cleaned stuff thank the cleaners for their hard work!

Cloth hangers
13. January 2010 by Friedhelm.
“Craftsmanship is the quality that comes from creating with passion, care, and attention to detail. It is a quality that is honed, refined, and practiced over the course of a career.” Richard Glover
Cleaners pay very close attention to detail. It is the nature of their business to take spots out and not by accident photographers talk about cleaning up images in post production. Close attention to detail is payed during the composition phase of an image as well. I photographed this stack of cloth hangers several times using different f stops. I decided finally to use the image with the lowest depths of field because I wanted to direct the eyes to the top of the image. In addition I wanted to create some dramatic effect in the picture. Camera setting: 50mm lens, f1.8, 0.4sec., ISO 100, tripod mounted.
Enjoy!

Going to the Cleaners
12. January 2010 by Friedhelm.
David and his employees gave me permission to photograph at their business, DC Cleaners in Chowchilla, CA. Photographing at a business is a great opportunity to photograph something new. The first thing I noticed that everything is full of colors. There are the different colors of the clothing, the tags, cleaning supply, yarn etc. I started out photographing the tray of tags. It was pretty dark and I used a tripod to shoot this image.
Enjoy!
