A bit of background first
I have been very busy (and still am) for the last 6 months, and at the same time I am still undergoing therapy, part of my therapy is to do some volunteer work, which I do on my spare time. I volunteer at my local community arts centre teaching photography with beginner, intermediate and advanced sessions, in the last month or so the director of the community arts centre I volunteer at took a lot of interest in what I do and has asked me if I was willing to show my work in an exhibition as a form of gratitude for my time and effort.
I have politely declined at first, citing that while it is quite an honor, I am doing this as a form of therapy to help myself. But after constant requests, which now included the people I taught I had to relent, if anything just to get back at that annoying dude in my intermediate class who said "he's just too chicken showing us his work that's why he hides by teaching" the snotty little bast....anyway I've decided to have a specific theme for my exhibition and I thought I'd just keep it simple and call it "Girls".
It's just pictures of girls in different expressions, scary, funny, beautiful, wacky, gentle, strong, etc..and have emphasised these by the lack of colour, giving the viewers no choice but to concentrate on the emotion, I am also keeping it clean as it is a community event.
The exhibit has opened yesterday and will run for 1 week, and these are the images printed and displayed.
These are not new images, some of them I have already posted before.
