2 more images from the Dream Project (part 2), using a Pentax Takumer Super 50mm f1.4 wide open on my Canon 5D. It has a very nice rendition with the OOF highlights, the 2nd image would have looked very ugly with the canon 50mm. It isn't quite as ethereal though and doesn't have quite the amount of sudden focus fall off of the canon.
This old house stands on the corner of a street dominated by large apartment blocks. It has a lot of space around it, is a single story building and as I sat opposite eating a croissant I asked the barber sitting outside what the story was of this georgous house which hadn't been snapped up by the developers. The story goes as follows. The house belongs to an 80 year old lady who had never had children and lives there alone. She walks stooped over with her cane but goes out every morning to volunteer in the nearby hospital. The college nearby offered her 3 million dollars for her house and her lifetime in the best old age home in the country. She told them that after her death they could do what they liked with it but until that time, it's her home and she's not moving.
My respect for a little old lady who I've never even met is incredible. I hope the college and property developers are gritting their teeth over her continued refusal for decades to come!
