View Full Version : Photography project for 2013?
Some of you may be aware of my photography doodle The Daily Head Back (http://thedailyheadback.tumblr.com/).
It started out as a joke but I also quite like it. I like taking photos of people so close, without them knowing. I like showing the difference in something that mundane, frequent and which otherwise feels identical. And I find it kind of mesmerizing to occasionally just scroll down the page and see all the different heads.
Anyway, I don't expect this to have legs but I figure if there is any group where it might, this is the one and so for 2013 I want to suggest and encourage everybody to find do something similar.
Something that is in your life every day (or a lot of days) that is simultaneously the same and yet always different. And photograph it daily (or often). No penalties or failure in not doing it every day. I don't with mine. Some days I forget, some days I'm never actually sitting behind someone. No real rules.

I like this too. The challenge for us would be our limited exposure to the outside world, but I bet I could think of something.

This sounds like a lot of fun - now to think of a suitable subject.

My Project is inspired by "The Time Machine".
There is a womens fashion store in my local mall, and I am going to photograph the window display every time I go past.
Over the course of the next 10 years or so, it should be quite revealing. The store has been in business for a long time, so I'm pretty sure it will be around that long. If not, I will continue photographine whatever store opens in it's place.

Definitely wracking my brain for something. But as CP mentioned, working from home most of the time my landscape is relatively static. But I'll keep my eyes open for inspiration.

Sadly, I can't think of anything. I drive to work, sometimes go to work gym, and drive home. That's pretty much my life.

I am sticking with what works.

Often I easily talk myself out of taking pics of lines that catch my eye but now I have a reason to pull over and get the shot. Thanks, Alex. (This is where the smiley goes.)

I'm in. I'm going to take photos of views out the windows. I'll hopefully be changing jobs soon etc so my daily views are going to change. link (https://plus.google.com/photos/111230570067952530933/albums/5829269659285107297?authkey=CLS20IKGm_22ywE)

I have to make a point to finish, hopefully this weekend while I can pretend it's legit - my photo project of 2012- which was the slew of new and existing modern architecture I was exposed to in my new existence of WestHollywood and CenturyCity. There are three more places I need to include.
Then, and only then, I'll ponder on new project for this year. :cool:

I think I'm going to randomly take pics from the daily commute. I'm usually on a Cable Car at least one direction of my commute.

If you are at all interested, just keep taking pics of randomness until you see something that pleases you. We're so lucky that there's no such thing as film and developing anymore.

Not really a project, cuz I take pics nearly every day, but I'm focusing (pun intended) on people photos this year.

My project will be "Tasty Beverages". I figure it's an opportunity to explore a wider variety of beverages.
Starting tonight.

Tasty Beverage #1 - Sleepy Time Sinus Soother
I'm not convinced that this is necessarily tasty all the time, but it hits a smooth, yet minty-anise notes that do make me feel magically better.

A slight deviation from the spirit of the challenge, but about a month ago I started saving screen caps of every one of my Draw Something rounds. I just dumped them into a tumblr, drewsomethings.tumblr.com (http://drewsomethings.tumblr.com/)
I'm not proud of all of them (my "Macarena" is positively shameful), and some of them lose a bit of artistry and meaning in the form of static images rather than playback of the drawing process. But I've been pretty fascinated with how my style has evolved through my playing "career".
