#snapaphoto April Photo Challenge: Week 2
I really adore these detail shots for Week 2! My shot is of my husband, Adam, and his tattooed wedding band. I love the moments when he’s really listening to me and moves one of his hands near his face because he’s really concentrating. I think that’s why I really love the submissions this week. As I was compiling the post, I realized that each of these shots were taken in sort of an intimate moment. You can’t get too close to a stranger without them feeling uncomfortable or awkward. Each of these photos tell a story or are prefaced with a history. I even love the anonymity in each photograph. You only see a small part and really–in real life–that never happens. My favorite submission was Jon’s. So gorgeous! What is your favorite photograph?
Next week’s challenge is to photograph a stranger (without them knowing or aware). I’m excited to see these because it sort of preps us all for the final week…approaching a stranger and trying to capture who they are within a matter of seconds. Good luck and be sure to submit by Sunday at 8pm EST!

I really love how much detail is in all these photos. I have to say my favorite is Elise’s, which has particular lighting, color, and texture that appeal to me. Lots of great photos, this week!

THANKS HEATHER! My mother has always told me I’m VERY cool, but it’s nice to hear it from someone else…..

Jon’s definitely caught my eye too – I think because it’s not readily obvious what’s happening in the shot so it draws you in and makes you stare a bit longer. I’d love to hear from some of the photographers about their submissions!

Not sure if you ended up figuring out what was actually going on in my photo, but it’s my father-in-law doing some welding work on the car he’s rebuilding. It’s actually the same type of car he had as a teen (a Corvair), so it’s a project with extra meaning for him, and I was glad to document some of the process for him. I was also excited to capture the lighting and the way it emphasized the detail of his hands.

Hey Jon – I was actually so intrigued by the photo I noticed you had a link to your site from here so I went and read the whole back-story. You got some great shots of his whole process!
