This is the first photo in a set that I am going to do. This is an experiment on my part, I want to try and create a series of abstract-style images using the lines from various parts of the body, making use of shadows and highlights to emphasize different lines. Very good lighting practice and experimentation.

I was looking at a recent family photo I took before we went off to my cousin's wedding and I am the only person in my family that knows how to smile "properly". I love my smile. I also look so much like my mother.

Remember when you were a kid and you were curious about everything, always stopping to look and getting lost in your observations and thoughts- not noticing that mom and dad have walked a good 50 paces ahead of you without noticing you've trailed off?

Then you go to school, they educated you and then by the end of it all you feel like you know all there is to know- then you discover your greatest tool for learning has been brutally maimed and you have to tend very closely to it to bring your inquiring mind back to health.

I'm still mending those wounds.
