66-365. Sunday, 7 March 2010.
I needed an intimate shot for the "2010 - A to Z and back again" group this week. Couldn't really think of anything, so when me and my hubby were on a walk today, I kept taking photos of us while we were walking. With my left hand.
Five minutes later I saw them.
My wife and I went on a little walkabout one evening during sunset and these little red leaves were everywhere and I thought about his little chunky hands would be a good fit in relation... We had to trick him to get him not to move so we put it on his head first, then his shoe, then his lap and then his hand. We even took it a step further (probably too far) and made him hold it in his teeth laying down. So cute! I'll post that one next!
Just trying out an idea- - the instructions suggest launching with full extension of cords but I was curious to see if I could hand launch from close up - almost got it just trying to get a grip on the control reels , the kite is really erratic on the close up end of the launch
I've been busy dyeing yarn and fiber, getting ready for my open house June 4th, and then the Estes Park Wool Market June 11th & 12th.
Mountains in the winter have the same look as the folds of this sheet lightly covering the contours of Angela's thigh. She has such beautiful hands.
North African hand half from a book, the other half my own design... can you guess which is which?? :)
"Folks, like I said before and it's STILL true, James Hand is the real deal!" - Willie Nelson
Though he's been making powerful original music for nearly four decades, James Hand has unjustly remained one of American music's secret treasures - a local legend, modestly plying his craft in countless smoky dives and dancehalls to a slowly widening circle of admirers. At the unlikely age of 53, he's about to release his first nationally-distributed album, The Truth Will Set You Free
This was taken at a park in Ailsa Craig. There were more mosquitto's here than I have ever seen before. I'm surprised that I didn't pick up the West Nile that day...
Hand lotion is becoming my best friend. Every time I look at this picture, I look back at my hands and think "are my hands actually that wrinkly?".
This is my photography project #3. The assignment was to either illustrate a text using a set of 3 pictures, or illustrate the effect of time with the same number of shots. I chose time. Immediately the first thought that popped into my head were hands, of all kinds. Specifically kids, teen, and adult.
The assignment was that we had to show the effects of time, not by taking pictures of watches at different times, but by taking shots of other objects. In my case, here's the way I interpret my pictures:
Each generation, or each stage in a person's life, you hold something very close to your heart, and it usually changes over time. I also wanted to show the physical effect that time had on people (the aging of hands)
The top picture, represents what I hold dearest to my heart. What better way to show that I cherish friendship, love, fidelity, and my family close to my heart than a Claddagh ring. (those are my hands)
The middle picture represents childhood. Who can't resist the stubby little baby fingers? Kids love their toys. Andrew, my neighbor's son, absolutely loves his trucks. I really wish there wasn't movement in this shot, but the more I think about it, the more it kind of ties in. Children are always running around and moving, which in a sense is caught in the middle picture.
Bottom picture: These are my parents hands. I first asked my mom if I could take a picture of her hands, and have her holding something that she holds closest to her heart. Her first question was "Can I hold your dad's hand?" Originally this wasn't my intention, but it worked out fantastically. It shows that she holds closest to her heart her marriage, and even more so her family. Them holding hands shows the tie between all the other pictures.
I hope you like it, and I hope I clearly got my idea across in these photos!
This set of photos received an honorable mention in the "Art of Aging" competition in 2008!!
