Photography / People & Portraits / Expressive

I have a horrible habit of biting my lips - I bite them when I'm nervous, thinking or even just bored! And during the winter I often find myself chewing and licking my lips constanly because of how sensitve they are in the cold. When I was younger, I used to press my teeth now into my bottom lips just to see the imprint, and it is only recently that I realised how beautiful the imprints were and why it is they really fascinated me.

As I've said before, I am no photographer. My tiny but faithful little camera can only do so much, so please do not judge the series of photos that are to follow on that basis. For me, this photo is simply about exploring the most disgusting yet more beautiful elements of the human body.

I just noticed, not only do you have a lovely mouth, but pretty white teeth as well! Lovely photo Holly! This project is so neat! Plus it's so refreshing to see someone so into their work! I'm ashamed to say that I was never so deeply involved with my projects in school, though I should have been. Good for you, hon! Please never loose your passion!

Aww thankyou

I'll admit it's only recently that I've found this passion ... I wasn;t ever deeply involved in my projects at school either, and I'm ashamed to admit I rarely really got into my projects in my first two years of uni. I think I've found my niche now, which always helps, and I also find that it's best not to think of things as a requirement, that is to say a project that is to be marked ... it always took the fun away from it for me

You're so welcome! I guess it's normal for school kids not to get into the projects they do. I guess anything considered "work" is an automatic dislike for them. Looking back I wish I did what you said and not looked at it as a requirement, but something neat to learn about. Oh well, live and learn I suppose. I was the same way though. Seeing something as a grade automatically made it dull and boring for me as well!

I don't really like the finality of grades, do you? I mean, I always put my heart and soul into much of my education, but I hated how a single slip-up in an exam can come back to haunt you and leaving you feeling like some sort of failure because you got a C

A C was always a perfectly acceptable mark, and much of my class mates settled for such, but for me anything less than an A was a tragedy! I think grades just made things too stressful - I know school is a necessity and I know that grades are also necessary when it comes to applying for universities and various things, and separating you from every other student ... but it is a damn shame that grades seem to prevent so many from really enjoying education!

*Chalaya Jun 24, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I completely agree about the finality of grades. I think it puts a lot of pressure on kids. I mean, a lot of times there are kids who can't always make A's in class, especially in certain subjects. So there's always a stigma that if kids don't make A's and B's in every subject, their underachievers, even if a C is the best they can do. I was like that in math. Most of the time the absolute best I could pull was a C but even then I felt like I wasn't doing well, though I did my best. It is a shame because kids would probably enjoy education much more if they didn't have all the pressure, like you said. I wish there was a way to grade purely on effort, and not necessarily on academic performance. I suppose that will never happen...
