this morning for some reason i had this strange flashback memory to history class in the third grade or something like that, where the teacher said that early american settlers couldn't afford glass for their windows, so they would oil wax paper and use that instead. and for some reason this sounded like a great idea for a picture setup.
it didn't come out like i thought it would..... the oiled wax paper lets light through, but it isn't transparent enough to see much of anything that's further than six inches away on the other side.it does have a nice texture, though. and it diffuses things very nicely.
i would be interested to see what adding droplets of water to the oiled paper would result in..... i think the droplets would act like little magnifying glasses, and maybe add some interesting light / dark areas to the texture.
just to be clear, there is no photoshop on this image. just a touch of lightroom to adjust contrast / values, and a bit of a vignette. everything is real.
