Hi Kali! Thnank you so much for your Get-Pushed Challenge - I will do either or. I haven't done a multiplicity shot yet ever, so I will read up on this and give it a try if I can. If not - I will try some double exposure, which is still a mystery to me despite having tried a couple of times.
See if I will get my challenge straight for you ... so..... What I really enjoy about your photography is that it has a certain "truth" to it that is actually very rate. Most of us try to find something "pretty" to photograph, but in your pictures, everyday objects become fascinating and just tell the story of a life - your life, the life of the world around you. And the reason why they seem so "true" (for me) are the details in your photos. Each and every of your pictures has so many of them - and I usually just spend time looking at all of them. Even in this photo - that seems simple - there are so many beautiful light variations, color variations, texture variations that they kind of make up an impressionistic piece of art that because of all these tiny little details. For me, they are kind of providing an insight right into someone's life - "unplugged" and uncensored. So.. having said that - since it's a get-pushed challenge, I would like to challenge you to NOT have those details in your photo for this week's challenge. I would like to challenge you to a true minimalist shot. You might or might not decide to include the use of negative space in the photo, as long as it maintains its minimalist feel. If possible, make it not a posed shot, but try to find something around you that would fulfil the challenge.
It's kind of asking you not to do something you do best, but hey, it's a challenge, right? Let me know if this won't work and I can come up with something else.

@vera365 i just thought if you do the double exposure on a tripod you might be able to combine the challenges, eg. a child in two places in the photo but as the camera doesnt move the background will be the same, give it a try.

thankyou that is a good challenge for me, i do find minimalism very difficult!

@kali66 Will try! And sorry about the missing words and typos in my post - with it would be edit-able. Too late here to type without typos.

*wish it would be edit-able.

That's so amazing! And I love this photo, the title fits so nicely.
April 17th, 2017  
The gentleness of your photo expresses beautifully the birth of a child and the sweetness of the name
April 17th, 2017  
@vera365 haha no worries, just remember to use quite a dark background where you will put the figures otherwise they might get obscured.
