Does anyone remember Dubonnet?
Rachel Irving
Because Rose evidently does. Tonight I set up a pretty dull idea for iron photographer 14 to kill time while I waited to find out if my mother's plane had been able to land. These were the criteria
1 - Something light can pass through
2 - The color green
3 - Lighted by a flashlight
and just as I got the flashlight balanced on the toe of a shoe rose came and sat down in front of it all, and suddenly I remembered Dubonnet. For those of you who don't it was a brand of vermouth which had it's hey day in the 70's and on the label there was a cat sitting in front of a bottle with a label with a picture of a cat sitting in front of a bottle and so on like infinite flickr. As a child I used to love those labels. Anyhow it's a silly picture, but in my opinion better for the addition of a cat, and my mother has landed.

Here are your new elements:
1 - Something light can pass through
2 - The color green
3 - Lighted by a flashlight
By something light can pass through we mean something that, you know...light can pass through. It can be clear, transparent, translucent, diaphanous, gauzy, gossamer...any material that light can easily pass through. Glass, nylons, perspex, it doesn't matter. But it must be IN the frame and light MUST pass through it.
The color green is self-explanatory. Unless you suffer from a form of color blindness. In that case, consult a non-color blind friend. If you elect to use something that's both green AND translucent, you may want to find some other element to add to the image.
Now, the tough part: lighted by a flashlight. This will probably require some experimentation since it will necessitate longer exposures. Most point-and-shoot cameras today have a 'night' mode, so I'm hoping that won't be a problem. The flashlight can be in or out of the frame, but it MUST be the primary light source.
