Bend Over

 

The challenge of this exercise, for me, was to not worry if I was taking "good" pictures or not. I tried to let the exercise just be viewing an object or setting from different angles. Some setting were beautiful not matter what angle I looked at them. It was impossible to get a good photo of the Canadian Geese, because I was too scared to get too close!

Once again, my best photo took me by surprise.

I really resisted this exercise. I procrastinated it for days, but once I actually did it, I really enjoyed myself. As I was slowly walking along I saw something ahead that I wanted to take a picture of and I had to resist speeding there. I forced myself to walk slowly to my destination and document the details I noticed along the way. Here are some of the favourite photos from my journey.

When I finally arrived at the Umbrella Instillation that I had seen in the distance I was a bit disappointed. Disappointed in that it didn't fill me with wonder the way the small details that I had unexpectedly noticed along the way did. Plus it took some extra effort to get a photo of the umbrellas that I liked. I took many photos of them from different directions. And then I kind of gave up because I was running out of time and had to be somewhere.

When I went back and looked over the photos I had taken, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had gotten a photo of the umbrellas that I was happy with. 

 

Points of View

What I saw:

-An insect that had just emerged from a cocoon. Its wings tight and wet, yet to take flight in its new form.

 

What others saw:

-A tunnel in a video game, with arrows on the road pointing the way.

-An alien canoe with heat and energy patterns

-An alligator's back, with opera gloves on the side

-A circus tent

-A psychedelic zebra alien spirit guide

-A psychedelic cathedral

 

 

Be A Tourist

It was fun to just stop and lay in the grass for 15 minutes and notice small things.
