Creative Photo – His Hour

Posted by dale on Jun 24, 2008 in portfolio | 56 comments

Roger from Idaho Daily Photo has created a new blog that hosts a creative photography contest each week. The rules are simple. Just post a creative photo titled Creative Photo and add your details to the Mister Linky widget on the blog.

Here’s my entry for this week. This was my attempt to do something creative with the bathtub and honor a great poet. No, that’s not blood or colored water, it’s just plain ol’ water that I’ve creatively enhanced for effect. I had just read a touching poem by Whitman called When his Hour For Death Had Come. I won’t spoil the poem for you. If you’re curious, go find it and have a read … it’s worth the effort. This was my little homage to Whitman’s creative genius.
