Spoons in The Sink

August 24, 2024 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

 


I enjoy using everyday, mundane, items that nobody even thinks twice about such as utensils in the sink, and turning them into art. We sometimes miss beauty that surrounds us in different ways. Who would find beauty in a couple of spoons sitting in some soapy water in the sink. I took a little artistic liberty with this image in that I added a pinkish layer to give it a little color. I arranged these shiny spoons in a pleasing manner in the sink and added some bubbles. My goal was to show that seemingly ordinary things we see all around us can have beauty when visualized through an artist’s eye.

Downtown Augusta 2018

August 11, 2018 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

I decided to venture downtown to Broad Street–a spot I usually don’t go to. I had been to The New Moon Cafe a few days before without my camera, but the ambiance and color of that street intrigued me. It is a very different atmosphere–almost like Greenwich Village in NYC–than uptown where everything is pretty much homogenous.

Sibley Mill

We went to an old textile mill in Augusta, GA. It has been closed for many years but still has lots of charm and vestiges of what it was in it’s hay day.

Abandoned House

Abandoned House - Marilyn Botta Photography

I have driven by an old abandoned house at least once a week for a few months. However, every time I drive by, I am in a hurry and I do not have time to stop. Also, every time I think I will stop and take some photos, I cannot find any place to pull in and park my car. So, one day I just make up my mind that I would drive over there when I had time and scope out a parking space. Luckily I decided to pull into a subdivision and park rather than just parking on the lawn next to the house. Upon further inspection, I saw that the lawn had a built in trench dug out and my car would’ve been badly ruined if I had driven in. Luckily my instincts just told me, “Hey just park on the other side and walk across the street.” The house was very interesting because it actually still had furniture inside (mattress, chairs) and also had paneling on the walls as well as curtains. It would make a good hiding spot for a homeless person.

Marilyn Botta Photography - Miscellaneous Images

These miscellaneous images were shot during forays around town.

These are Miscellaneous Images taken around the town. The water hose is a macro. The helmet and vintage red car were taken at a Harley Davidson show. The red car won first place photo in the cars division. My prize was a cup, decal, and metal key decal, but I still was very proud to win my first contest.
