Clarendon - stables & coach house
Aug. 30th, 2006 11:12 amI take a lot of photos for future research use. For example, I might realise one night that I need to know how a 19th century stables & coach house complex might be laid out. Looking up this stuff on the web, can take hours and still not be useful (Look, if you ever decided to create a B&B in a building once occupied by horses, don't call it "The Stables" all right? Be original.)
So, when I have the opportunity to photograph a potentially useful building, I do it in some details, down to close up of doors & windows. Obviously, this is what I did at Clarendon, and it explains why I started with these buildings.
I'm doing this backwards, rather than start with the front of the house and its history (large Georgian Regency mansion, on 20,000 acre sheep farm), I'm starting with the stables (foreground) and coach house.
