22/52

I searched the other day for a portrait of the three of us and the last image I could find of us together is back in France. Maybe we need to travel more often and ask more strangers to take our family portrait? I also need more/any/a photo of Tamika, Jarvis and I together. Hmm maybe that will be my goal for next week?



Now have David Bowie’s lyrics going through my mind, I think this song was released mid 1990s? Off to google it. 

Steely resolve is falling from me
My poor soul, poor bruised passivity
All your regrets ran rough-shod over me
I'm so glad that we're strangers when we meet

I'm so thankful, cause we're strangers when we meet.
I'm in clover, for we're strangers when we meet.
Heel head over, cause we're strangers when we meet.

So this weeks post is dedicated to all of those stranger we are yet to meet.


There are a few, Portrait a Week options out there. A lot involve taking a portrait of your children each week. Jodi over at Che and Fidel has inspired me to pick up my camera and turn the focus inward. Since I already take 100s of photos of my children each week, so I thought I would twist the idea a little. What I never seem to get is group shots, images of the family together, whether it is my two children, Tamika and Jarvis, or me with the kids, or shots of Justin and I. So I am going to challenge myself to get one image of "my family" per week.
