@dailyshoot: 2010/02/24: There is often a conflict between traditional and contemporary. Make a photo that shows this tension. (@melhutch) #ds101
Oh man, when I read the assignment this morning, I thought– "is this the first one I bail on?" — I had no clue what to do; I played with book and computer (too easy), old and new phones, then did some stuff with my iPhone and my old drawer of CDs… then shazam! (get it?)
I saw my guitar sitting on a chair and remembered my iPhone has the PocketGuitar app..
So there you go, traditionald and contemporary guitars, though not much tension.
I have been so energized in photography since last summer D’Arcy turned me on to the Dailyshoot – a clever idea to expanding your photography skills.
Each day, the Dailyshoot tweets an assignment of something we need to capture; then people post a tweet to @dailyshoot with a link to their photo, and their website aggregates them in a clever visual display.
So this way, I have each day at least one thing I need to aim for with photography. Sometimes it is easy, other times it makes me contrive something others I fudge it with a clever caption or interpretation. Since starting, 88 daily shoots ago, I have not missed a day– sometimes like when traveling it is just an iPhone shot.
I am doing this in conjunction with the 2010/365 daily photo project but I never double dip…. I have found though, that most days, the dailyshoot assignment is the leading thing for my photo efforts, and it has been a great driver, motivator, and something that makes me stretch some each time.
I agree – @dailyshoot has been a blast. I’ve bailed on one assignment (portrait of a stranger) but will pick that one up eventually.
I totally double dip (or triple dip, with my 2010/100km project as well) but figure that’s ok. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
I’m finding the assignments for Daily Shoot totally help me to focus my observations and interpretations. Great stuff.
I don’t use the daily shoot unless it’s late and I’m stuck which I was today. I too chose the iphone but yeah, went the easy route and did the book comparison. Today was so much about the content but composition. At least that’s what I was going for. You do nice work and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. 😉 I mean it.
Love it. I too was stuck on today’s daily shoot. Finally settled on old touch pad and new touch pad technology, GRiDpad & iPod Touch. Not much tension though.
Perhaps there’s less tension than we imagine? Or perhaps, with imagination, there’s less tension?
Love the shot, by the way.
I’m not tense at all, man- just enough tension to ring a perfect “D” string.
