365 project - In good hands

This one was hard for me. I spent ages thinking about what In Good Hands means. It means safe, protected, guarded, looked after. Trying to come up with something that embodied that was very difficult for me. Then I spotted it. Stuck to the side of my desk is a postcard I got a long time ago when I went on my first Buddhist weekend at the Madhyamaka Centre near York. It was a weekend looking at the concept of Refuge. That weekend I realized that while we all need people around us, a support group, our Sangha, the most important hand to which we entrust ourselves are our own.

That postcard has been there since I came back from that weekend nearly 10 years ago. It is a constant reminder to go for refuge when I need it to Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. To put myself into good hands. 

365 project - A doorway

Just a doorway for an intrepid hero to get through in Descent,  Journeys in the Dark.

365 project - Where I stand

So on the 9th we did a no power night. This means no electricity except the fridge and freezer and no gas apart from the heating. Our night was lit by candles and it was beautiful.

365 project - Blue

There was really no other choice for this one. My husband's beautiful blue peepers.

365 project - Natural Treasure

Life got in the way so I had to make do with what was around me. What natural treasure so I always have to hand? Wool ^_^

365 project - Unique

So the subject matter for this one was easy. We are all unique. So it made sense to do a self portrait or something similar. I chose to focus on my hand.

This picture is totally without any post production. Today I learnt how to take a monochrome photo in camera and how to alter the contrast in camera as well. What do you think?

365 project - With a fork
