Pick-A-Photo Tuesday: Let's Hit The Bottle...




I really enjoy antiques of many kinds, but I have a soft spot (or should I say soft drink spot) for items with any kind of advertising on them... such as these vintage soda bottles.

I photographed them in black and white, hand colored them with dye inks and roughed up the surface with sandpaper to age them a bit. One of my all-time favorite techniques.

  1. Very nostalgic. I remember walking down to the neighborhood store and buying a bottle of Nu-Grape. Those were the days.
