Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 26 6:56 am)
Yep, doug....you're absolutely right!!! :) the hands are EXACTLY why this man reminds me of my grandfather!!!!! I'm pretty sure i still have this pic i took of Papa the last time i saw him alive (1990). he's putting out bread on a picnic table for this blue jay. i'll see if i can work on it...post it in here or my gallery. i think you'll see why his hands made me think of Papa. that second one...verrrry special.
Actually I like both but the lady in the red coat in the second is a distraction for me...... so tight or not I like the first better anyway. And that duck is gorgeous.... wonderful shots all of them!
I am, therefore I create.......

Hey there Doug! Well I love people shots especially when they are not posed and in a natural setting such as this. You know, there will be a time when we are at that age when we sit on the bench and enjoy the little things that life offers us with the time we have left. This is actually very moving for me. I know that sounds strange...but I obviously see more in this than the typical. I agree with Michelle in the 2nd one with the lady in red being a bit distracting but again, for me, I still love these and believe they are worthy of your time. Glad you got to enjoy the day!
Mike, i never noticed the lady in red either 'cause the image is so captivating! the interaction between the bird and man just grabbed my attention instantly and held me. Modesty, i try to sit on benches now and enjoy the little things. I dunno, i'm not morbid, but i always have this idea in the back of my head that we might NOT have tomorrow. ya know? i know you seem to enjoy life to the fullest too!! puss & kram!
I didn't notice the lady in red either! I totally love these shots and I too prefer the first one despite the cropping being a 'lil tight! There's so much emotions in that shot! The fantastic trust and bond between the old man and the bird! What a beautifully serene scene! I also love the light...soft, calm, inviting! And old people hands are like a book and they make me cry...! And that duck is a real beauty! ;) Fantastic shots, in short! Yep!
Pascale, i feel EXACTLY the same way!!! Well, except i think that ALL people's hands are like a book!!!! Seriously, show me your hands...there are sooooo many stories there. i can't say i have a hand fetish, 'cause that's not it. i mean, i just think hands are very much like eyes. you look into eyes and you can tell so much about a person. it's the same with their hands. Whenever i look at portraits, i want to see the hands there too. they're soooo important!!! hugz
