Tea Photography: Tea Cup From Hilda
by Marcy L. Dewey
One summer, my 85 year old great
grandmother came to stay with us. Just before we all went to bed, my dad
heard an "Oop!" and a crash from the family room, where Great Grandma Hilda
was staying, on the pull-out sofa bed. He ran in and found her in the
corner giggling uncontrollably - she had fallen over the coffee table
backwards and all he could see of her was her feet sticking up. She was
fine - in her fall she had broken nothing but the teacup. The one in this
picture is a tea cup she bought my mother to replace the broken one - and it
always reminds me of her giggling.
Marcy photographs are mostly of things botanical or inanimate objects. She love
high-contrast lighting, both in B&W and color photos. Marcy rarely work with a
flash, as sunlight is her favorite source of lighting.

Each month, TeaMuse displays an interesting way that tea is used in an artistic
forum. Tea-loving artists of all types are encouraged to
submit their work for display.
