© Positive Palms 2015
I took this photo when I was walking through a town at festival time. I was drawn by the sound of music and came across a lovely folk quartet. As I love music and used music to relax this seemed like an obvious image to use for this project.
The aim of this blog is to use photography as a healing tool as I think there are a lot of negative mental images that women may have of domestic violence and that photography can somehow counter those images.

Positive Palms
Yesterday I was thinking about what I have experienced.
One of the images that I have frequently had flashbacks to was of a pair of hands, as it happens it was my own hands I was seeing in the image but it made me think that it was an example of how I was hurt by hands, both by seeing the image of my own hands in my flashbacks but also by what the hands of my abuser did.
This has inspired a photography project which I am calling Positive Palms and will be a collection of images of hands doing different things that are positive with a view to replacing the negative images with a positive ones.
All of the images are my own unless another photographer has been credited. I retain the copyright to all images.
