It may seem a bit strange me posting my own thread....I'm far from an experienced knowledgeable photographer, but I do have a love of the hobby and I've wanted for some time to do a project of my own. Blakesters wonderful 100 faces is amazing, and on the day DK posted his Strips thread I'd been mulling over what to choose. I do love nature but I take hundreds of nature photos so I wanted something that little bit different, something that would lead me into other peoples lives and whenever possible give me some background to their story.
I did a Hands shot last year for my 52, it was always one of my favourites linking the old and the young. For me it portrays the journey from babyhood to old age. So I'm choosing that as my first one.
The second one which spurred me on this week I've also put in my 52's, I think that one was the deciding point, that yes this was a project I wanted to do.
You may wonder why I feel the need to start a thread, it's because I know myself, if I just make a folder in Flickr I will take a few half hearted shots, but by putting it on here I make a commitment to myself to do the best I can. Some shots will be quickies taken on my mobile phone, some I'm sure will be ones that I'll spend hours getting just right to achieve the look I want.
I am anticipating all black and white ...maybe with added effects but not colour ....but we shall see.
Do feel free to look and comment if you have a minute to spare ....it would be much appreciated, hopefully it will be an interesting thread.
