Clothespin
|
During the 1970s the fashion was just turning away from drying clothes
in the backyard and toward drying clothes in an dryer. As homage to
the vanishing clothes line, the shot of a single red clothespin was
taken. The use of indoor film in daylight caused the surroundings
to take on a bluish tint. Wind on that day moved everything but the
red clothespin.

A second floor apartment in the Hayes Valley area of San Francisco
had a back deck partly fenced with lattice. Many lovely potted plants
were arranged on the deck. Strung across the lattice was an old
cotton rope with several clothes pins attached. All were new plastic
except for two which were wooden.

On a sunny warm walk through the streets of Jouarres, a small town on
the Canal du Midi, we passed many well kept yards. The return was down
an alley behind several homes where we spotted white towels drying on
a clothes line. Several colored plastic clothespins had been used to
fasten the towels.
