The great indoors, part three

While I was working on my pictures for my barn photo's scavenger hunt, I couldn't help but think, "How would I approach this if I was using a model horse?"

The ideas came fast and fierce, and I knew I needed to act on them. A couple days ago, I gathered up a an armful of horses and headed downstairs to the photo table.

I built this indoor arena backdrop way back in 2016.

At the time, I took most of my pictures on the dining room table. I loved the arena, but set-up and teardown was a lot. After a month or two, the arena went into storage.

It might have stayed there forever, but along came the pandemic. 

Suddenly, photo showing was a thing. I decided I needed a dedicated photo table, so I cleared some space, bought some lights and unpacked the indoor arena.

It's seen a lot of use in the years since then.

It even survived a flood! 

The fence sustained minor water damage, which I find aesthetically pleasing.

Still, this is an old backdrop. As I was setting up my photos, I couldn't help but notice how everything looked a little worse for the wear. I decided some repair work was in order, and eventually, that turned into a total teardown.

I am going to take those pictures, but it's going to be a bit. After all, I have a new and improved arena to build!
