Coulson Macleod Goes Shipping
Friday, April 9th, 2010The Coulson Macleod photo shoot is all booked for next Tuesday and we’re getting very excited at the prospect of seeing our artwork properly staged and photographed.
We’ve hired the prettiest village chapel that is currently lying empty and makes the perfect studio. Plain white walls. Wooden floor boards. Beamed ceiling. And out of the little gothic arched windows you can see lambs frolicking in the adjacent field. A professional commercial photographer is booked. And we’ve been assembling our props. We’ve got piles of lovely things, but we were short of one prop, an antique floor-standing light.
Until we came across this beauty, which got delivered this morning…
It’s an antique brass search light from an old ship. It used to be gas-powered, but has now been fitted with a lightbulb and mounted on an antique wooden tripod so it can be used as a floor-standing light. Don’t know much more about it to be honest, but we fell in love as soon as we saw it, which is really all that matters.
