Weekly Photo Challenge

In an effort to “think outside of the box,” I’m setting myself up for failure a weekly photo challenge for a year. Ambitious of me? Yes. But not as ambitious as the 365 photo challenge. That would certainly be failure.

I have 52 ordinary, everyday subjects that are completely random, that have to be photographed the week it’s assigned to. I’m hoping to catch the creative bug and provide a different point of view… but we’ll have to see that goes. The plan is to post on Wednesdays. We’ll have to see how that goes too.

Week 1 begins Wednesday, August 26, 2009.

And of course, feel free to join in on the fun times. The more, the merrier. I don’t care what kind of camera you have or who you are, play along if you’re up for it. Check out our little flickr group we got going on: shutterboo Weekly Photo Challenge.

this will be a hard project to turn down but am in the middle of launching a really big, really fun photography effort called The Ride Project. therideproject.com should be live early Sept. I hope to jump into your challenge later in the year!

Brooke do you mind if I play along? I need a kick in the butt and your weekly idea seems like a good idea. I have Flickr and a wordpress blog too. Let me know!

Most definitely. And I’d love for you to share. I like it when people play nice in the sandbox.
I think I’m going to set up a new “blog roll” but instead it will be “challenger roll” to connect to flickr/blogs/whatever. Can’t wait to see whatcha come up with!

Interesting. I think I shall give this a shot. This just might be the jump start I need to get back into photography again. The cocktail and lingerie one I shall have to pass on in the future though.

Will definitely be on my blog and flickr though. Your permission to allow me to try this out shall be anticipated.

Regards,

Rabi

But of course! And it’s all about perspective; cocktail doesn’t have to be a fancy libation and lingerie…well, I think there’s a lot wiggle room in this one actually!

I’m up for the challenge! I’ll participate as much as a high schooler can while still maintaining good grades. But this is going to be a great inspiration

Oooh, I like this! I’ll totally join in. You can find my Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/dawn1980/. (Creating a pool for this would also be cool, if you haven’t done that already.)

Excellent! And I really like your photo!
FYI I went ahead and started a pool on flickr – not many members but it’s there.

Your mother-in-law has been checking out your blog and I find it very interesting. But can’t you take a better pic of my handsome son. I love seeing all your daily shots. I just loved the fair ones.

I’ve joined your flickr group. Not entirely sure how to add a photo but I’ll see if I can work it out!!

It’s super easy – once you upload your photos, there’s an “add to group” button at the top. You click it, choose the group and viola – it shows up!
I’m so glad you’re joining! Next week’s subject is “time.” However you decide to interpret. Have fun with it!
