Documentary - Balcony, Italy

This photograph was taken as part of a series for a location project. I used my Pentax ME 35mm film camera and Fujifilm colour negative film. I feel the image is simple yet effective. I enjoy photographing the relatively ordinary or normally overlooked subjects. At first I used the picture as part of my developmental work, but recently found I was drawn to it again, I think mainly for it’s strong compositional quality and colour tones. It is part of a larger set of images I produced documenting items and rooms in and around the home of some of my Italian friends.  As with most apartment style homes the balconies contain some form of washing hanging – scenes I enjoy photographing.
