So the topic this week on I ♥ Faces is Nostalgia… Of course, there’s no face, so it probably doesn’t qualify, but I figured I’d use this opportunity to show an ongoing art series I’ve been working on. First, the image for submission to the weekly contest:

This image makes me think of being a young kid and not being able to go outside for one reason or another.. perhaps sick, perhaps its too hot or cold.. the idea was to portray a sense of loss.
The rest of the series can be seen at this link: Ghosts of Youth. I do also sell prints, but my online store for it is down right now. If you would like to order, just drop me a line.
I’d also like to take note here that I have been invited to write a series of tutorials on lighting at the I ♥ Faces website. I’ll be getting started on those as soon as I get the kiddo back to school and my life starts to return to normal. Keep an eye out there for them in the future!

It probably won’t count…but who cares?!
Your photo is so inspirational for us to see for this week’s theme. It truly makes me feel like I’ve gone back in time to when both of my grandmas were still here.
Looking forward to your tutorials Brad. We are sure to learn so much from them!
