Jeff Hands: 2012

Drawing - Pencil/Digital Colour

Drawing by hand with digital color. Based on a photograph by Caroline O'Neill.

This Holga print was recently sold at a silent charity auction for Sisters Supporting Sisters' first fundraising event on May 29th. All proceeds from this event benefit The Stephen Lewis Foundation. SLF works with community-level organizations that are turning the tide of HIV/AIDS in Africa. They provide care and support to women, orphans, grandmothers and people living with HIV and AIDS. The funds raised at our event go specifically to a program that prevents the vertical transmission of HIV for children in birth and breastfeeding.

Looking back on my first student film, I now see it as the beginning of future photographic endeavors. The film's stylistic device of continuously scanning the surroundings would become essential years later for street photography.
