Independent Photo Assignment #1

My dear friend - h - suggested that she and I participate in the following photo assignment; I agreed! I can't wait to see our results.
OBJECTIVE: to loosen up creatively. to be more mindful. to play.

MATERIALS: Digital camera. Printer. Photo album.

PLAN: Document your average day with snapshots… from waking up first thing in the morning with sleepy sand in your eyes and hair like a bird’s nest (I recommend leaving the camera on your night stand the night before) to the time you go back to sleep at night. You can be as creative as you want to be with this: First person view? Third person view? How many shots do you want to show? Any interesting angles? It’s up to you…

Then print them out and put them into a photo album labeled with the title of your project and the day it was conducted. (I think it will be neat to look back on it in a year or two and see how your average day has changed.)

The only thing we're changing about the project is that we'll be swapping our photos. I'm so excited!

It really would be interesting to see how much an average day changes; I suspect if I photo documented my days then versus my days now, I have become a lot more domestic (which is code for "wow, I'm in front of the computer a lot").
