0Foto Flip Friday – December Theme: “FACES” (Week 2)
Welcome to a new edition of Foto Flip Friday – a selected showcase of photos dredged up from my bountiful photo archives and whittled into pretty little “flip/flop” postcards each Friday. And to add to the fun, each month I’ll challenge myself to unearth a series of images that meet a monthly theme.
Portraits are often the trickiest to capture, and I would never dream of sticking my camera lens in someone’s face without prior agreement. Ah but with a a bit of rapport, such portraits are among my most treasured, as they remind me of the many incredible characters that I’ve met along the trail.
Thus, this month’s FFF theme is most dear to me: FACES
And for our first entry this week we have a “selfie” all painted up in the colors of the flag of Nepal: (do mouseover to see a short message on the back of each postcard).
(simply mouseover the image and watch the *magic!)
* Well o.k. for those viewing in IE, not so much a magical “flip” as a fading change. If you want to see the flip/flop, try viewing in Chrome or Firefox.
And here we have yet another photo from my most memorable month in Mongolia – who said these FFF “Faces” had to be only of HUMANS? 😉
All this month I’ll be rummaging through my archives for more “Faces” images, so check back next Friday to see another flip/flop postcard or two from my past.
And meanwhile – if you’d like to submit a “Faces” photo of your own (in landscape format, min. 700 px. wide), just upload it to an online source (e.g. your blog, Facebook, Flickr, etc – make sure the privacy settings are set to “public”), and post a link to it in the comments below.
Who knows? I might just whittle it into a flip/flop digital postcard here!
