1 save the lost – shoot what someone else has thrown away
2 if you were an object or plant today, which one would you be? – take your 'self–portrait'
3 be the one – look for something in transition. a flower of rust, paint peeling. be the one to record this moment
4 try the impossible – can you photograph just one blade of grass?
5 shoot something you like
6 shoot something that annoys you
7 what? - shoot something you have a question about
8 notice a button – shoot
9 your own art gallery – imagine the street is a modern art gallery. let your lens frame pieces you like
10 catch the dazzle: - is the light shining through something? shoot
handy guidelines:
a be curious
b be careful and careless in equal measure
c take one and walk away
d take three shots, and just one more for good measure (later - see what your fresh eye saw, see what accident or extra consideration may have brought you. look for the value in each approach)
