For our honeymoon, my husband Stephen and I decided that we would make our way to the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, TN. With the exception of this past year, we've made it back every summer (Steve went solo for '08). One of the things I love about the festival is that there's plenty of free water, in both drinkable and drenchable form. It gets HOT out there, and so the central fountain is always an excellent spot to stop and refresh yourself.

To top it off, though, each year they redecorate the fountain in some fashion. My favorite year so far has been their crazy checkerboard pattern, which made you feel like you were a part of some psychedelic Alice in Wonderland event.

A little HOLGA action always helps to enhance it, of course.

In this shot, the subject matter is interesting in itself; the challenge was (and always is, with things like this) to make a photograph that incorporates a little something extra. I almost find those kinds of challenges more easy than trying to make an "everyday" object interesting.
