Saturday Photo Project (environmental portrait)

who is he...
sitting in a dark room
his eyes, the most important tool
looking, seeing, finding
...the doctor


who is she...
her needles passed from one knitter to the next
brittle and tinged with rust,
if she could only know
...my grandmother


...and who am I?

just for today, I am a painter
covering myself in splattered white
wanting to make a little girl happy with new walls
and pretty pink accents yet to come.


** Thank you Camilla and Carolyn for this great opportunity.
I really found this week's assignment challenging, but so rewarding!

  5. I went walking with Sarah this morning and told her about the amazing image you took of "hubby" so very creative I have never seen anything like that...very interesting perspective.
    I love the vintage needles...speaks volumes of the past.
    And the paint...perfection, I can relate.
    I think your compostions are very thoughtful and are so fun.

  7. Originally, I wanted to photograph the xray reflecting off his glasses...but there was no reflection with his non-glare lenses!! Just goes to show that you can surprise yourself with random shots...especially when the subject grows impatient!

  8. Anmarie,

  9. Gosh Anmarie, you really got me. That doctor shot is just fabulous- so dramatic. The doctor must be impressed. The knitting needle portrait is brilliant too- soft and hard focus in such great places.
    And you the painter-for-a-day-- thanks so much for your beautiful contributions.
