Tea Photography: Tea Cup From Hilda

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.
