I organised three very different community groups to participate in Michelle Hamer's workshops at The Lost Ones gallery in the lead up to her exhibition and it was wonderful to also take part myself. I loved the premise of this work and what each group came up with using Michelle's 'flashcards' in the workshops. Simple stories, told with four cards, captured in four frames in a photobooth. ‘There are no Words’ explores the gaps between what words mean, how language is used & the ways in which this both facilitates & inhibits our understanding of each other. My little friend Tallulah turned 12 recently and i headed out into our town with her and her little gal pals to have a photography party! YEAH! I put together this print out for the girls and bossed them around a little bit with photography tips and things to look out for. They were mostly busy dancing and singing to their favs tunes but it was a nice afternoon and pretty much everyone took part in the photo challenge. Below are my contributions. I didn't do as well i thought i would! ;) I missed a couple, probably too busy being bossy! ;) 1.FRIENDSHIP 2.COLOUR 3.LOOK UP 4.LOOK DOWN 5.REFLECTION We went down an alley to look at some art and i pointed out this blacked out window to the girls as a potential surface to get a good reflection off of. I forgot to actually get a good reflection shot though! UH OH! FAIL! 6.NATURE 7.ARCHITECTURE 8.BLACK & WHITE 9.BACK LIGHT I think i mentioned to the kiddos how to use the sun for back-light and creating a sweet sun flare, shame i didn't take the time to take my own advice. This is as close as i got without trying! Another FAIL! Cute pic of my mate though! ;) 10.'TELL A STORY' Here's a little picture-story about our day out in Ballarat. 11.SELF PORTRAIT Obviously Niamh wasn't shooting so i took her selfie for her! 12.TALLULAH A portrait of the Birthday Girl! fun |
