Portraits of our gardeners

A few weeks ago my daughter Tansy came to the gardens on a Sunday afternoon with her digital camera and film camera in the hope of capturing some of our gardeners for her One Shot - 100 Days Project.  The 100 Days Project is a challenge for anyone to create 100 images over 100 days following a theme or completion of a project. The photos here are black and white digital images to match the one shot she has taken on a film camera in black and white.  She will compare the two images once she gets the film processed.

I will start with my portrait with the question she asked "Whats the best advice you have been given... or want to give? "

For me it was really interesting to hear what people did and what advice they would give.  When we are at the gardens we normally just talk that... gardens.  I felt this small sample shows the diversity of people our garden has attracted. I would like to encourage Tansy to come again on a community work day so that we can all be introduced in a new way to our fellow gardeners. 

Tansy mentions that I am also taking up the challenge in posting images that could become a post on Jeannieskitchen.me blog.  You can take a look on this link:  Food Triggers - 100 Days Project

Anyone wanting a higher resolution copy of these photos just let me know by email on Jeanniehayden5@gmail.com and I will ask Tansy to send the image.
