Description

On a hot summer day, photographer Deborah Fay walked though the woods of an old Ohio homestead when she came across a pond. The farm house long gone, all that remained was an old bench found tucked away between the trees and over grown brush. The bench was sitting there as if to be inviting those who found her to come sit a while. So she did. As she sat there taking in the beautiy of her surroundings, the peacefulness of all Mother Nature was offering, Deborah couldn't help but wonder what tales the bench could tell from those who visited her over the years. The bench had a worn spot clearly marking what once was someones favorite place to sit. Perhaps they would take a swim in the pond and once finished would sit a while to dry in the sun. Mimicking the photographic process of silver-coated copper plates first developed in the 1840s, Deborah Fay has captured that old time feel and titled this photograph, "Come Sit A While."
