Gum on the Seat

Posted by Tracey (White Hall, United States) on 28 February 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

Stadium seats always have gum.

good eye to see the pattern in this line of chairs - I would not have seen the gum if you hadn't pointed it out. Nice shot.

@Jason Kravitz: Thanks Jason! I noticed the gum because we were sitting in the seats in front of these and my daughter put her hand in some below her chair! *shiver* So, I turned around to see the other chairs and saw the cool orange/blue pattern AND the gum! Yick!

Great shot, Tracey! I love the bright orange and the age-worn wooden slats – and the gum ... well, the gum is what makes the shot great. Are these the seats at Oriole Park at Camden Yards?

@Ron: No Ron, it is not Camden Yards. It is actually in Harrisburg, PA where we attended a horse show! The seats at Oriole Park are much newer. Now the seats at the old Memorial Stadium, if it were still standing, would have been worn like these. Thanks for asking!

Terrific. Great DoF and framing to bring out the pattern.
