Well, the secret I mentioned earlier was a photography competiton I entered, for the Ouverture Festival running in July. Only 15 selected winners and I am one of them. The brief was un histoire en photos (a story in photographs) and a story had to be told in a series of 5 to 7 photographs They had to tell the story yet each image must be able to stand alone and of course, be original. I submitted 2 stories, "ailleurs l'herbe est plus verte" (elsewhere the grass is always greener) and "la lettre" (the letter). As yet, I'm not sure which was the winning story, but a soon as I know I'll post the pictures to share.
To think, when I went through the back of my wardrobe and somehow ended up in Blogland a year ago, I hadn't picked up a film camera for donkeys years, didn't have a clue about photography as art and was just stuck in a rut of making little illustrated prints for etsy and that was getting me down, feeling I was not flexing my creative muscles enough and concerned too much with making money instead of following my instincts.
