The human touch, week 50



I don't know what it is, but there's something about a photo that has hands or feet in the shot...
a certain human element that we can all relate to...
who we are...
what we love.

Feet photos are easy to relate to.
We all look down to see where we are going or where we have been.
We can measure time in these photos by the changing seasons, by how much we or our little ones have grown.

Photos of hands are connections to the world we live in.
What we are holding or gesturing is a story in itself, tangible and made real by capturing it in the moment.




These are 
our hands,
our feet,
our moments.

Week 49 : ant's eye view



This week's challenge was to capture the Moment from the vantage point of a wee ant. We were impressed to see so many creative captures and a certain sense of autumn.

 We're rooting for as many contributions (original members and Flickr followers) as possible in the weeks coming as we reach the ONE YEAR mark.




Without further ado, I present the mosaics:

Week 48 - black & white



Sometimes simpler is so, so much better. The images truly speak for themselves this week.

Week 47 ~ lines, lines, everywhere lines!

On Thursday, October 15th at the moment of 1:51 p.m. we stopped what we were doing and looked for lines. Lines are all around us, forming patterns rich and interesting. From different perspectives we found lines looking down from the sky, looking up at the sky, hidden in text, memories of birthdays, and covering our friends and loved ones. We chose to not take the world around us at face value and look for intrinsic patterns within the surfaces and shapes around us.

Below are our findings...













Cosi! ||| damiec

Week 46 ~ O R A N G E






















Week 45 ~ reflections




A reflection of an exact image is the closest thing to you-so that you can see it-but it's far enough away so that you really understand it. There is real life in this movie, but it hovers just an inch above reality. 
~ Wes Bentley




 

Reflected images can be found in so many places... mirrors (naturally), water, door knobs, iPods, windows.... Already we have seen some amazing and creative uses of this theme coincide with some of our past themes, so we were curious to see what would happen if we all took a picture of a reflection for the same Moment?





Some of us chose to include ourselves in a reflected image...
 

Others found refelected objects and abstracts...
