Amy is going to have a baby!
Instead of trying to make a cohesive story of images processed in the same manner,
I have chosen to process each image differently.
They can be read sequentially or individually.
1.
Dainty pregnant woman eats breakfast while sitting on glass table.
2.
Mmm.
3.
I really like this photo. Unfortunately, it only shows the tiniest hint of belly.
4.
Same location, more belly.
5.
It’s hard to get an idea of how big a belly actually is when you look at it straight on—
unless you get a long-armed man reaching around, unable to reach.
[I purposely focused on the hands,
but I should have used a wider aperture to keep their faces in focus too.
And I think the lighting is too harsh. Horrors!]
6.
Almost-big-brother checks in on his sibling-to-be.
7.
This is my favorite.
8.
Then Amy turned around and started playing the piano.
I started breathing deeply and stopped worrying about whatever was pushing my worry buttons.
[If I could use Photoshop, I would remove the electric outlet. It must be simple enough…]
9.
I can’t decide if I like the photo above or this photo better.
I like the movement in this photo. I like the simplicity of composition.
[Perhaps I should crop out the eye-attracting cleavage.]
10.
Soon I became lost in the music and the reflections on the piano.
11.
I forgot I had meant to be taking photos of a pregnancy.
I took photos of a pianist instead.
