The photos have arrived!
A friend of mine Jayne went to collect them for me and the guy at the printers was very encouraging
She said she will really look forwrd to coming into work and seeing them on the walls!
Below is the wording to go on the introductory board in the foyer
I havnt mentioned that I've got dementia cos my family arent in touch and dont know
so I decided to word it from the TIA angle (cos they know about that)
THE FOYER BOARD
The photographs I have taken are collectively called
“Blue Sky Thinking” and reflect hope and looking at life from a new perspective.
This exhibition came about from a tiny seed of thought after I had taken a series of pictures of Ox-Eye Daisies in Pattishall churchyard.
They were growing above the wall on a grassy bank, the sky was a beautiful blue that day and they looked so pure and alive and it led me to take a series of photos over the last 2 years which have now become the focus of my “Blue Sky Thinking” Exhibition.
The second phase in the photographing began with me taking a photo of a Crown Imperial and then wondering what it looked like from an insect’s eye view.
The underneath of the flower was so beautiful and intricate and rarely looked at so I decided to follow this line of thought.
The results were amazing and led me to take a lot of pictures from this vantage point, much to the amazement and embarrassment of some of my friends!
It has been such an inspirational activity for me and I hope you will derive as much pleasure from the photographs as I have.
Following a series of TIA's (mini strokes) my life has changed and I want to show that life is full of moments to be seized and new opportunities that have come about through a life altering situation.
Part of the emphasis of this exhibition is to hopefully inspire people to bring moments of happiness to both the cared for and the carer through the use of memory books.
The proceeds of the sale of photographs in this exhibition
will be divided between the Alzheimer’s Society and Heartcry Compassion in Action (Reg Charity No 1091912)
Thanks for all your support
The candle photo is amazing
