Fresh batch of negs back from the lab. I can never tell what’s good until I look again a day later, but I’m hoping this one sticks.
I think I shall tentatively title it Grandma has a heat lamp and I have loafers.
Thoughts?

This is a gorgeous image, Rachel. Red light can be harsh sometimes, but this gives more of a nostalgic feel to the image, paired with the setting. Love it.
What are you shooting with?
the shoes and that outdated radio or whatever it is, make half of this pict.
Something about this image gives me an extremely uncomfortable feeling, like the negative is flipped and I’m seeing the whole world backwards.
June underestimates the radio – it’s more like 40% of the shot. Pretty work.

I believe those drawer pulls were installed on every chest of drawers built between 1951 and and 1969. There must have been a law.

I usually have to wait much longer than a few days to decide, more like looking at something over the period of a month or so.
I love the old radio and shoes. It really sets the theme. The red light adds mystery. Nice photo. Todd

I like the photo and the title. Both, a lot.
I really like the simplicity of the composition, an everyday subject but it really says “home”. The red light from the bathroom, rather than being harsh, is much more warm, so I guess you give the feeling of the heat lamp quite well. One very small nit: the black item on the dresser is a bit of a distraction since its clipped off. Additionally, I wonder what this would look like from a very slightly lower perspective to show a touch of space above the door and the mirror?

Good idea, but not very well executed, IMHO. I think it’s shot too tight, and I don’t care for the distortions. It doesn’t make me feel what I think you want us to feel. Maybe it’s a bit too thought out. Conceptualization can really kill the feeling and mood of an image, unless it’s perfectly executed.
A Fan,
This is one of the few times I like red light
I like your height perspective, but I don’t like that it made the door crooked to the frame of the image. I can’t decide what part is more important.
Quiet but deep. I like it.
A bit contrived. You try too hard to evoke a feeling in the observer, and it seems to fall apart in the process.
