Rules:
1.) You have to take one picture of yourself every day for a total of five pictures at the end of the week.
2.) You can take ONLY ONE photo a day.
2.) The portraits can be honest, simple, all the same, tell a story, or be contrived in some way or another.
3.)B/W or Colour
4.) Tweaking is not allowed.
In an age of digital photography I think sometimes we get too comfortable with the take and toss mentality. This challenge is an exercise for all of us to really take the time to think about what we're doing before we do it. There was a time before digital cameras where a photographer had one negative (usually glass and sometimes a tintype) in their camera and that was it. They had to know exactly what they were doing to make it count. So don't worry about your picture looking perfect. Use this as an opportunity to learn about what you and your camera are really capable of.
Have fun!

ReplyDeleteThis is just Monday through Thursday. Friday's picture will be up either late Friday or early Saturday. I obviously struggled with this challenge, but I loved it. :-)
OK kind of oops as the photos are in backwards order from Friday to Monday on my flickr page but oh well...
