Asher,
"Cypher" is a photo of a street pole which was covered with small white advertising stickers. There were a number of these types of advertisements in the Chinatown area of Milan, which is where our workshop was held. We were not asked to photograph this type of thing specifically, but rather to go out and shoot from the gut. Interestingly, no one else took a photo of this particular object, despite the fact that it was directly in front of the entrance to the workshop facility.
When we gathered as a group to reviews photos, I mentioned my tremor and how I had previously been trying to hide it in my work but that I had wanted to confront it in what I produce going forward. Hence, the use of blur.
I took a similar photo of the advertising stickers, below. Though, in this example, I wanted to emphasize the texture of the collage of stickers. This wasn't as well received as the above, though.
Let's see if this one stimulates any conversation.

I mentioned my tremor
A stabilized lens/camera would probably help. Although, I think I'd rather use my tripod when I felt the need for eliminating the tremor as a variable. Otherwise, I plan on exploiting it.
