twelve - photo of a photo

recently i was thinking about how each art genre seems to include that genre in the art.

rock songs talk about singing. literature mentions writing, painters paint themselves painting. and so i thought a photograph of a photograph would be appropriate for World Photography Day.

that's a photo of myself and our son and daughter (from about 12 years ago). i had the kids out to a park to do portraits of them when a stranger asked if i would like a photo of all three of us. it's one of my all time favorite photos.

the flowers in the foreground are from a head wreath bought in Avebury, England on the summer solstice. happily, since they aren't real flowers, i can continue to enjoy them.

World Photography Day 2022
[I chose 12 photos for the day - then chose one for the World Photography Day group - not this one.]

A charming idea for a photo of a photo............and beautifully executed Laura.

Thanks for sharing these 12 images...........although a couple are not to my taste (you can't please everyone), I've thoroughly enjoyed looking at them all.

Thank you. And you are so nice to have taken the time to view all of them! thank you.

And of course I don't expect them all to please everyone. My taste is quite varied and so I'm sure some just make people scratch their heads in dismay - haha. But happily we can all just move on to other photos that we do like.
