Project 52 - 2012

My Project 52 from 2012. The first time I've ever completed one!
Taken with my Nikon DSLR or my iPhone!
Without further ado..ENJOY!

Texture: It's everywhere in grungy Okinawa!

Water: water drop on newborn sakura

Reflection: Refection of myself! Mini me!

Black and White: Iwakuni!

Silhouette: The kids at Gala, I'm going to call this 'dream'

Colour: Splash of pink! (and a strip of blue)

Isolation: Isolating sea at Okuma and the isolation of helplessness. My weekend:
I knew I was going to Okuma and I love 'winter' at Okuma, it's quiet, the sea has crazy colours, but then my son ended up being rushed to hospital for asthma and that is also isolation. Isolation being so far from a hospital and the isolating feeling of not being able to help your child who is fighting for breath. (He's good now ♥) So I thought I would make a collage of my life this weekend!

Vintage: Vintage? It's def. old school! Processed like I used to process in the darkroom. Nikon FM w/ Ilford 400 and homemade edges!

Details: Peacock POW

Peaceful: Isolated beaches are peaceful to me and the colours in the winter sea!

Shape: The shape of Okinawa!

Line: Horizon line and shadow lines

Chaos: Weather chaos

Metal: Metal, rusty grungy metal, lots of it!

Doors: or doorways!

Nature: The power and beauty of clouds

Life: This is one part of my LIFE, pretty much sums it up! My friend made me this for my b-day, LOVE it!

Motion: cloud and road motion!

Emotion: sunset emotion Grandma and Granddaughter love...

Obsessions: Where it all began! Well, if you don't count the 1970's box brownie ;o)

Culture: Dave Ralston band and Shinto Shrine Priest! Culture fusion

Perspective: A NYC Perspective! I LOVE NYC!!!

Joy: My kids on Brooklyn Bridge

Softness: The sunset was amazing and so soft and dreamy...almost like a painting!

Macro: My new friend - whose tail fell of in my hand, I felt bad so I set him up with a free photoshoot!

Patriotic: of course I had to put the Union Jack up LOL (got sex pistols in my head!) This is some shop window reflection in NYC!

Blur: Butterfly Bokeh Blur!

High: HIGH ON LIFE! This is my zen at the end of the day!

Temptations: The CONSTANT temptation I have when I am driving and see an image in my head and HAVE to turn the car around to go and capture it LOL Drives me nuts!

Food: Nothing really artistic about this...but it's my entry for 'food' liquid food!

Thankful: I am thankful for photography and living near the sea and shells and a micro lens and lots of other obvious things like my kids, family, health etc etc etc
