Picturing the other assignment

I made this picture at the Black Sheep. These people were complete strangers to me, and i walked up to them and asked if I could take their picture. I wanted a photo of an older married heterosexual couple, since I am a young lesbian girl who cannot legally marry. again, I did not want something posed and "typical," so I asked if I could get a photo of their hands, showing their wedding rings. The husband did not wear his ring, ever, and so preferred to have his right hand photographed. I like that although their faces are not shown, one can tell by their hands that they are older. Also, they assumed I was taking a photo showing their faces, so they were smiling at the camera the whole time. The husband gave me his card so I could e-mail him the photo. They were very gracious, since I was obviously anxious to be approaching strangers.

This is an image of my girlfriend folding clothes. I used the continuous shoot function on the camera to take numerous images one after the other. This way I could get pictures of motion. I wanted something that was not posed or stiff looking, and I think I achieved this. Behind her is a mirrored art deco piece where one can see her image folding clothes as well. I liked the relationship between the background and foreground.

To make this picture, I set up the camera with a ten second timer on the desk in front of the couch. I then pressed the button and sat on the couch. I took a series of zoomed in photos as well as zoomed out, and this was the best of the lot. I did not want to deal with color, I felt it would be too much of a distraction.
