Jan 14: Alabama hat

I've been working on a set up for a commercial shoot today. They need very even, flat lighting. Not very interesting at all. So, to get a PotD, I draped black cloth over the white background, switched off one of the lighs and looked around for something colourful to put in front of the lens. Coffee packets? OK, but maybe I don't love coffee quite enough to make it work. Then I noticed my new Alabama 'Crimson Tide' hat. Perfect, and I know one person will be thrilled to see it!

Wonderful shot, and very sweet of Jill (Not a surprise, of course, she's amazing!)

Well...you're forgiven. :) If you have a friend with enough class to give you an Alabama hat you can't be all bad! ;0

Ann, I have to confess to being a bit of a fraud... I've never actually been to Alabama! The hat was a gift, the closest I've been is Daytona Beach FL... :-(

Hey... Roll Tide!! I grew up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama; my dad was on the faculty and that's where I went to college. Wonderful shot! :)

Sitting here in a flood of tears after reading Lindas entry on her PAD. My heart breaking for her friend and for Linda. I see that you have posted your PAD, come over and what a smile that broke through my tears. Of course your photography is suburb the hat looks better in your image:)

I wonder who that could be?
