week 1

Week 1 - These are not the droids you are looking for

As is probably obvious, we gave up on strict deadlines. But the project continues! And the next topic is... # 37: solid

We have a list!

I started writing random topics, then Adriano continued, following some insane line of thought. Actually, I think the word line is inaccurate, because it sounds somehow organized... You'll see what I mean...

We aim to continue for a year, so there are 52 topics. The first picture is already due next Monday next Thursday*!

Here they are, in alphabetical order:

Number 45: these aren't the droids you are looking for!

The pictures will be up by next Monday evening (August 30) Thursday (September 2)*.

(Next week topic #45 will be out of the running and we'll randomly choose another one.)


* Adriano pointed out that, since the first topic was picked on a Thursday, we should have a week to take, choose and publish the pictures. Especially since we were traveling this weekend! (And the first topic is incredibly hard!) So we will always publish the pictures on Thursday evenings.

Project Air and Light

Credit where credit's due

This wasn't my idea. There was a blog where a woman in the USA and a woman in Australia each took a picture every morning (I think - I can't find the blog, now) and posted them side by side. It was lovely, and I felt like I wanted to do that, but didn't want to copy them. Then there was the weekly challenge at the Digital Photography School. And, finally, another blog where the women live in Tel Aviv and Germany and photograph every week. I finally decided the idea was out there, so I might as well use it...

The project

The difference here is that the point of view is different simply because the person viewing is different. We live in the same hemisphere, the same country, the same city and the same house. Our pets and linens and furniture are the same. He is my husband.

The project entails taking a picture a week, according to the previously chosen topic.

• We will make a list of topics, which will be shuffled every week, and the topic chosen will be taken out of the list.
• The picture has to be taken that week - no choosing old pictures!
• We will each choose the picture we think should be published.
• We will not see each other's pictures until publishing time.

Note

My husband and I are very similar in many ways. Remember the saying that opposites attract? Well... that's not us.

I am very curious to see what will happen here.
