2022_CLondon52w2: Your Passion
From the C.London website: "Let’s see what makes you tick. Make a photo that shows what you love - you can be as concrete or abstract with this as you’d like. For example, if you’re a musician, you can take a photo of your instrument (concrete), or maybe a long exposure of someone dancing (abstract). Try and highlight what makes this your passion so that a viewer can interpret your love and respect for whatever it is."
Photography, golf and cycling are my hobbies, the passion for which varies depending on circumstances, physical condition and time of year. Passion for my grandson remains constant as any time I can spend with him is a treasure. The ability to engage in a hobby with my grandson is a 1+1=3.
Last week, when he grabbed my expensive GRIIIx and wanted to just push buttons to take pictures, I knew it was time to get him a camera. I had planned to do so for his 3rd birthday in July but decided to accelerate the purchase and preserve the safety of my gear. A $30 digital camera off of Amazon was perfect and this week introduced him to it. 115 photos in less than an hour. He doesn’t quite grasp the concept of holding the camera without fingers on the lens, but he’ll get there. These first images are precious and priceless and will have a permanent place on my hard drive.
The diptych is of us simultaneously taking a picture of each other. Ready, set, click…
