Ugly House

Take an ugly object and make appear beautiful using only a camera and natural lighting. This may sound like an impossible task, but really it was as bad as I thought. Our latest assignment was to take pictures around our house of things that we thought were ugly. The catch was we had to take pictures of them right before the sun set in the what Ms. Miles called "magic lighting".
This is actually a fairly accurate description of what the light did actually. It magically made things you wouldn't pick out to be pretty and it made them beautiful.
I don't think of my house is ugly really. It a two story "craftsman" home that will be celebrating its centenial in 2011. I have always loved things and antiques, and as a result I couldn't picture myself living in anything else more polished and modern.
My mother could not know about this or she would insist on cleaning
