One or two have said 'I wish I hadn't thrown so much stuff away over the years' - so the project can cause feelings of regret. I havn't tried to photograph the absence of something. In general, discussing this project with people produces a positive response and genuine interest. I think there is certainly scope for keeping it going.stanOCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515635092194160913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3645927653901145990.post-70506771632390367192012-03-25T12:12:39.206+01:002012-03-25T12:12:39.206+01:00I think these are looking good. the print is reada...I think these are looking good. the print is readable and I believe it meets your aim. It gives information which helps me read into the image and some clues as to the subect's character and history but still leaves me with questions - it doesn't close anything down for me. Ilike the simple layout (I imagine your watermark will not be on the final output). I am also thinking os a series of situational portraits, though with a different theme from this. I hope to start in a month or so, when my current projects are out of the way.<br />One random thought that occurred was to wonder if you had met anyone who has no childhood objects, and what you would do if that happened. Would they be excluded from the project by definition?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204385349190602874noreply@blogger.com
