I haven't even left the house today, yet I have already learnt something new.......I clicked on a blog called The Year in Pictures
and it had some pictures of "deer beds" by a photographer named Katherine Wolkoff.
It explained that "Deer sleep in beds of deep vegetation they press down with their bodies in order to hide from predators. They never lay down in the same bed twice, but the imprints can remain for several days. What we see in the photographs are swirls of trampled grass, wild flowers, and a shadow outlining the hidden impression of the deer’s body. What we feel is the animal’s spirit, if not something deeper."
I never have heard of deer beds. But it got me thinking about the possibilities of a series of photographs showing various person's bed sheets and covers each day. And the stories they would tell.
PS: and apparently the deer beds were photographed on Block Island!!

Vic I think you've got yourself a great idea there.
There was a book I found years ago called "Women at 8 am" It was pictures of all different women (mostly famous) at eight in the morning. Some were still in bed with messed up hair and no make-up. Think Kate Moss topless, with a cigarette in her mouth...or Hillary Clinton fully clothed on an important phone call sipping cappucino.
Either way, it's a great concept.
Yea morning bed pics sound like a fun idea....I am sure we can get all of our blog buddies here to send pics of their beds?
the 8:00 am book sounds like a Annie Leibovitz project...would like to see that.
Ironically, after I met Vic for the first time I thought to myself - man I wonder what that guys bed looks like in the morning.
