> What? No old time bathtub stuck on end and painted blue with a statue in it?
That's kind of a Catholic thing I think, and found frequently in my Houston
neighborhood.
Around here, old bathtubs spend their retirement as watering troughs.
There's a beautiful assortment of them in my neighbor's barn lot, across the
road from the house with the great backyard. Yesterday I was photographing
that barn lot, and the huge Brahma bull and his friend the steer came
strolling up to take a drink from one of the bathtubs. What luck, I
thought. I got them in the frame and focussed and started a long exposure
of 14 seconds. I was thinking how majestic and dignified the bull looked,
until about 7 seconds into the exposure he lifted his tail and did a very
undignified thing. Well, maybe it will just be sort of a blur on the
negative. I bet that never happens to Burton Pritzker.
