Cocktail Hour by Kelly Hamilton

I could not ignore the resemblance in aspiring HS Kelly Hamilton's work and that of Fall 2006 Hot Shot Joe Fornabaio. Maybe it's that they both shoot black and white, unfortunately a rare trait in our hopefuls. And that they are both photographing their families, nothing very unique in itself. Or it's that they both seem to have a certain knack for getting that perfectly quirky moment that defines family life while neither glorifying it nor mocking it, but getting it just right.

Kelly is submitting from her series Sunday Dinners, a project she has been working on for the past two years. She says, "When I see a familiar expression or something completely new I press the shutter." She also gives her images titles such as Where are you headed baby brother?, Unclosable Distance, and Just Outside the Door. Keep it up Kelly!

We have a new week on our hands and only two remain to enter the Spring Edition of HHS! Why not right now?
