Konnichi wa!

A few weeks ago I had this urge to paint a tire. I’m not quite sure where the urge came from but, I had to get my hands on a tire and paint it yellow. My boyfriend was kind enough to bring me a tire. He even spray painted it yellow for me (he is really too good to me).  So once the tire was all painted and looking fabulous I needed wanted to use it in a photoshoot.

My little sister seemed like the perfect fit to match the playfulness the newly painted tire evoked. Plus, I had been promising my mother pictures of  her. What a wonderful way to kill two birds with one stone right? Anyway, my sister and I didn’t have to look much farther than our own backyard (it has lovely light) for a location. So I grabbed my camera and tire, then proceeded to spend about 2 hours photographing my sister. I think the pictures turned out nicely and I was quite pleased with how the tire turned out.

Now, maybe I’ll spray paint the tire red and use it again for something else….
