50/52



"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Che: goodness, what a masculine stance. 
Poet: on tip-toes as she looks out the window.

I'm getting a little nostalgic now. Only two portraits to go and then we're back to the beginning. Claire had a great idea earlier this week and I'd love to bring it to fruition. We were talking about all the portraits that got away; the ones that weren't chosen because others seemed more fitting. So, on Wednesday, I'll be writing a post titled: "52 / the ones that got away" - there'll be a link, too, so feel free to add your own post. 

I'm excited to tell you that the "52" button for 2014 is currently being designed by melbourne-based artist The Paper Pinwheel. It features muted ocean-inspired colours and a touch of distinctly Australian flora. I'll be able to share it with you in the next week so make sure you leave a little room on your sidebar.

You may have also noticed that I'm currently running a giveaway to win a $200 voucher to Minted - a company that creates beautiful photo cards, art prints and personalised stationery. It's open to readers worldwide so feel free to enter...perhaps it will be one way you can use some of your 52 portraits.

..................................................................................................................

I adore Yellow Finch's perspective and I especially love these shots - especially the piano portrait! / I love everything about these portraits; happy faces, warmth and that blanket / I wholeheartedly understand the "need to get the last sip" determination / I always love a diptych and I especially like the 'railing' perspective in these portraits / and finally, haircut time - always cute (and a little bit funny!).

    I love this week's photos jodi - that you can capture so much personality without showing faces. I think I'd like to join in next year xx

    That ice block looks delicious! What a lovely idea, doing the 'outtakes'. Can't wait to see everyone's.

    Love the perspective of these two shots, so expressive too!

    I did a 52 out-takes post a few months ago and looking back these are some of my favourite photographs! So will definitely be joining in with that one too!

    I can't believe 2014 is nearly upon us. I'm looking forward to completing an entire year of the 52 project. It is so lovely to look back on all of the memories. Your captures are beautiful once again, especially those sweet little tip toes. Have a lovely day. Melinda x

    I love Che's pants! Are they homemade? I have just been snipping and sewing old sheets to make floral PJ's for my sisters for Christmas... my girls want some too now...
