During this month, I am sharing some of my preferred portraits.
Every time you will see a different person, and yet they will have a common feature, their facial expressions sharing many deep emotions. Their expressions told me that they were perhaps remembering, dreaming, forgetting, or simply contemplating life with peace of mind.
I felt privileged to capture a second of their lives. It is up to all of us to imagine each one of their life’s stories.
In December 2014, after completing the Photo101 course, I opened the Photo Rehab Event in this blog, a ‘healing clinic’, for all of us who love photography (hobbyists, amateurs, pro-shooters and enthusiasts) who missed the course and daily interaction with other photobloggers.
I am always inspired by the photos shared within our community of photobloggers, and for that I want to share my enthusiasm with you.
You can visit all other photos of all patients here: Photo Rehab

HOW TO JOIN THE PHOTO REHAB
Time: The Clinic is open 24 x 7
Camera: You can use any camera, from DSLR, mirrorless, compact, to smartphones.
Theme: Bring your creativity and photograph a theme of your liking in B&W or Color. With or without edition. We like learning techniques as well, if you want to share it with everyone.
Who can join: Anyone can join. All you need is passion. Passion to speak up through images – or words, if you may want to add your thoughts to it as well – showing what you see and how much that is important to you.
You can do a self-examination. If you detect any of the following symptoms, as carefully described by Albert from the blog Trigger Happy, come and join us: “Withdrawal symptoms may include the incessant need to carry your camera everywhere with you, the need to wake up in the wee hours to take photos during the golden hour, and checking up on others you met during the course to see what their newfound knowledge has brought fruit to.”
How does it work:
- Shoot a photo.
- Prepare your post and publish it. Remember to Pingback to this post and to use the tag #PhotoRehab so that we can find your post in the WP reader.
- Add your photo to the link provided below. In this way, you expose your photo to the other participants and the audience of the Photo Rehab.
- Here is the link to add your photos. Knock the wall of the Clinic… and click on the image below:

I so wish you could do something with these beautiful portraits, Lucile. They should be framed and hung somewhere. Wouldn’t these be lovely in a senior citizens home? Everyone of them is the best…until the next one. I agree with Annika–I love this series.

You really me make me blush with your comment! It would be such a honor.
I would surely not mind to have them in any senior citizens house.
I am super happy with your appreciation of what I love to photograph the most! Heartfelt thanks!

Relax and do what you can! I’ve struggled with today’s Photo Rehab Wrap up which took me some hours, as WP links seem to not work when we want and many photos had no links whatsoever, so I had to search for them on the reader, post by post.
My weekend was uneventful and lovely! Hope yours as well.
You’re always welcome! 😀

hahaha so you found a way to ‘like’ anyways? Did you know that the like button is always on the reader even if I don’t have it on my post? Most people didn’t notice that.
LikeLike
Yes I know, because I ran my blog without the like button for a while too. After a long while I decide to put the like button back in the blog. It’s easier and quicker for people that way. Sometimes people just want to let you know that they’ve seen your post and they don’t have the time to comment. I don’t have time to write comments in all the blogs that I follow either and sometimes I have nothing to say.
Besides the like button is also a good way to discover new blogs. I often check the blogs of the “likers” and I’ve found a whole lot of interesting blogs that way.

I think it doesn’t make a difference to add it or not. First because the option is always there anyways. Secondly because with or without it, people are free to comment or not, regardless.
I think that I get the same opportunity to know new blogs when I get new followers.
This is all a very personal opinion because there is no right or wrong about this all!
So you’re right to do what you feel is the best for you.

I love these images, Lucile. I have looked everywhere on your blog for your Writer’s Quote Wednesday Post and I cannot find it anywhere. The reader is not picking up the Writer’s Quote Wednesday tag either and I feel terrible. I know you did one because I wrote down your name having completed it. 😦

Thanks Colleen! And don’t ever worry about technical glitches with ping backs as I know it is not your fault. I am facing the same issues with the Photo Rehab and know how your feel though, as we don’t want to miss anyone in the wrap up.
Thanks for your care and consideration.
