Vicksburg, MS
The night found us in Vicksburg, Mississippi in a random sub-branded hotel of the Marriott family. I walked into my room and couldn't resist making pictures. There is something about hotel rooms that always strike me as interesting fodder for photographs. Initially, I think it's the lack of clutter I am so accustomed to in my own home. Then it sinks in that it's also the color, fabric patterns and light that all combines into a wonderland of neutrality. Beige, you really gotta love it.
I popped around the room turning on and off lights to see what worked and what didn't. I struggled a bit without a tripod for some of the longer exposures. All in all, I spent about 10 minutes staring at things in my room. You'd think I would have noticed that there wasn't a phone. I awoke this morning to a friend's knock at my door having overslept by about 40 minutes and wondering why I didn't get my wake up call. Now I know.
Take pictures before bed.
