The Start Of View 52 (week 1)

Ok so this is my shot for week 1 of View 52 take one image per week for 52 weeks

Well as most of you know smoke has kind of become my guilty pleasure. But this shot has a far deeper meaning to me in 2011 sadly I watched my whole life turn upside down after losing my business. So basically to me the smoke represents my business going up in smoke and the hand representing clinging onto hope however I vowed to myself for my families sake to turn this bad situation around. So now the image represents the fact I have many opportunities now to start a new life and the smoke represents these opportunities and the hand represents the fact my destiny is now back in my own hands.

So it has kind of a double meaning to me

I don't take many that I have and emotional attachment too I know the hand is not 100% perfect regarding lighting but its an image I will never forget as I have a tie to this one and its meaning.

After losing my business it has given me a great opportunity to restart my life try out new things and look for new jobs I may never have tried if I wasn't given this opportunity. Above all that I would love to improve my photography and to start the year off I have joined a group on flicker called "View 52" which is basically a short version of the 365 project.
