For the FFF Snap Happy monthly theme Lisa now chooses three themes, and you can choose one or more of them. This month the themes were;
- Lost treasures
- On a table top
- The colour Old Gold
I always seem to take the meandering path to the themes and never quite know where I will end up. This image relates to lost treasures- my favourite childhood teddy Big Ted. He sits hidden away in the top of my wardrobe, along with my other soft toys. While doing some cleaning a few weeks back, I rediscovered him. Just the sight, smell and touch of him bring back rushes of childhood memories, of my protector and best friend. I don’t know how I would have coped with the rough and tumble of childhood and night terrors if I didn’t have such a strong attachment to Ted. It always a joy to rediscover his magic healing powers.
The image of the woods was taken at Malmsbury and it has beautiful gold colours. It felt quite magical and I always thought I might be able to use it in the future.
I took a photo of Big Ted at the base of a tree in my garden (the Sherpa saw me from the front window and came to ask what on earth I was photographing teddies for!) and then placed him in the scene. The distortion to the image represents the way memories often present to us.
