Photography has been one of my favourite hobbies for the past two years. Despite capturing many pictures my collection is short of people. In fact, people seldom appeal to me as motivating subjects. This is not to say that I don’t enjoy looking at portraits, or have not photographed family, friends and strangers; for me the extraordinary joy of photography fades away when it becomes about people! To better understand my selective eagerness for using this medium I set myself a challenge. The challenge was to try to photograph as many people as I could to see if engaging in the activity would help me to develop a taste for it. Outcomes of my first few attempts are posted on this site as “ A continental market” and “ Christmas feelings” photo-essays. The current work displays a selection of images captured on a few occasions where I set off to photograph people, but the playful camera refused to comply and managed to find something else to focus on! Maybe I should learn to tame my camera better!
