F2P2: Friday Four Photo Project

  • Oct. 8th, 2004 at 4:50 PM
Minn
So, I have been experimenting and practicing with digital photography a lot, lately. With the desire to hone up my skills, I thought of starting a bi-monthly photo project: Taking a spin on the Friday Five meme and Douglas Adams' h2g2, I present F2P2: Friday Four Photo Project.

Every alternate Friday, I shall post four questions; you have to submit your answers with photos. You can either post your answers in here, or comment with a link to the gallery or your journal/blog where [they] have been displayed. There is no deadline, really, but it'd be nice if you can submit your answers within the span of two weeks -- before I post the next set of questions. The only condition is, the photos have to be taken by you. Also, a link to my original post would be appreciated.

Now, I know all of you are brilliantly creative people, so I really hope you will participate! Here are today's questions:

10. 08. 04 - F2P2

  1. A view from a window: Show me what you see.
  2. A reflection.
  3. Some item you wore today.
  4. Show me: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

My answers:






1. A view from a window:



View from my car window.

As I sped past, I couldn't help but chuckle at this sight: the cab-driver was fast asleep on the lid of the trunk, while his family made vain attempts to rouse him. The strangest thing was, he had parked his vehicle on the pavement!








2. A reflection:



Church spires reflected in the glass of the chapel opposite.

I felt a sense of calmness while taking this photo. It was a breezy and quiet day... [info]ilenebook and [info]elmo7, this one's for you both.







3. Some item you wore today:







Le pouvoir d'une fleur singulière, forte, pure et sensuelle.

I adore perfumes.
Flower, by Kenzo, is one among my collection of twenty-six French perfumes.

I think my dear [info]anupma and the lovely [info]saralicious will like this as both of them are perfume-lovers, as well.







4. Show me: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue -

Something Old

(I dedicate the following photos to my beloved bf, [info]andala, who loves antiques. He continues to be my biggest source of motivation and inspiration):



My grandmother's old phone.
It was made in Great Britain in by SIEMENS, Brothers and Co. Ltd.



















***

Something New:



***

Something Borrowed:



The book is not borrowed; however, the quote has been used by me on several occasions.



The book - A Guide for the Advanced Soul - was a birthday present from my dear friend, [info]pumpkin_lisa. It's a book of quotations and passages by writers and poets; I have a deep love for quotes and often borrow them for use in conversations or while writing.

***

Something Blue:



It's a blue flower vase. I am madly in love with the colour blue.



For some reason, this makes me think of my lovely friend [info]thineownself.








For [info]maggieroofus, who loves bright, cheerful gerbera daisies. She even has some on her website - Moonjuice. Go, have a look!

Comments, feedback and participation would be appreciated. Thanks!




The next series of F2P2 will be posted on Friday, October 22.

I am absolutely finding myself short of words to comment on the poetic beauty of these photos. I shall try to borrow a digital camera and do some shots myself.

Blue is so tranquil.No frills just blue(no idea what that means just popped in my head ). The inside of the blue vase reminded me of so many things i had forgotten... Thanks :-)

That phone is so great. The other day I almost went into a trance studying all the cracks and scratches on it. So beautiful.

Thank you, Nanne!

Wow Nice Shots
I really like the pictures. I'm not really good at titling pictures or developing captions. But I love the shots. They're very good. Really. Thanks for sharing them with me. I hope you are doing okay and that life is treating you well. I'm doing much better than I've been doing recently... I'll explain in my journal. Take care and be well always...

Hmmm I'll try this but with my lousy digital camera, I don't think the pictures will be comparable to yours. Nice idea anyway.

Ahhh! This is an awesome idea. I have been *trying* to take more photos lately, but it's not working very well, so I will definitely try and F2P2 when I can! Starting next Friday, maybe...

something blue
wow! before i knew what it was, my first take of the blue vase thumbnail, was that it was a giant wave that one would surf in!

i love and am drawn to the color of blue too!

as always, creative [info]minn!

fantastic idea.

That's exactly what [info]andala said, mere seconds before you posted this comment. New Yorkers and great minds think alike. ;-)

Re: Brilliant!
I'm impressed.

The reflection and the depiction of "something blue" took my breath away. Your niece's joie de vivre is infectious; her body language full of life and exuberance. The photo of the chair is very artistic and grabs the attention in spite of its stark simplicity. I liked the view from the window a lot. And your grandfather's photo makes me smile. :-)

I shall post the next set in two weeks (or make it a weekly project if it gains enough popularity. Let's see).

Thank you for participating!

Minnie, those are absolutely fantastic! My favorites are of the phone (that very first one should be printed and framed) and the blue vase. I adore that blue vase (especially with the daisy :)) and I absolutely love crackled glass.

I hope to have my responses before the weekend is over :)

Also, saw your IM - Sadly enough, I was still asleep when you tried to IM me. Yes, I'm a slacker today ;)

Other than Alex, you have been a constant supporter of all my experimenting, so thank you, hon!

Coming from a talented photographer like you, this means a lot! I do plan on printing the phone series photos and the seashell/blue vase one. :-) I'll send you a copy of the first phone photo.

I can't wait to see your responses! *excited*

Love you. xoxox

A neat idea, Minn, and lovely photographs!

I have no digital camera, and we all know that, if I were to take some pic's, try to finish a roll, get the film taken in, and get the film developed, and get the photos scanned... Let's face it, I'd go way over the two weeks. ;)

I have a couple photos that may work, though, for some of the "questions"... I just have to get my scanner software re-installed (still got a few things left to do, since I did a full system restore on my PC).

I *finally* mailed your little package today! I actually did before the end of the year. Go me and my procrastinatory butt. :-P

Thank you, Brian!

I wish you could participate. I also wish I could see more of your Zambia photos, too. Perhaps if I nag you enough...

Rivetting, beautiful pictures, especially the blue vase. You share so much of yourself. It borders on self-selfishness not contributing in equal measure.
