pagespicsA Portrait of Huang Dao
I have a few ‘projects’ on the go at the moment. They are slow going, but a new camera has given a bit of a boost to the images I am capturing on bike rides. The OM5 fits perfectly into my front pannier and is quick to access when needed. Traveling off the beaten path reaps rewards. I found the lady shown below sitting on the doorstep of her home, surrounded by family. She is 104 years old, and her name is Huang Dao.
It’s all in a name.
Names are quite salient to this blog post. I have rarely stopped to ask for someone’s name when taking Street Photographs, as the images are often captured quickly whilst on the fly. Looking back through old photos brings up a number of questions. Who were these people, and where are they now? Finding a little back story to each person may be a way to add depth to a project. Definitely food for thought!

I read of a woman who sought out 10+ folk in villages all over the world villagers took her to mert and told them she wanted to ask about their life philosophy. She always found someone who could translate and then created a book. If I remember it..will let you know. Why not choose folk who remember a particular event or choose an aspect of life like education or joys in their life….JanSent from my Galaxy

Can you remember the name of the book? Creating a cohesive plan for a project is always the tough part. I will definitely try and find her again, although I am not sure how well she can speak now.
