FPC:MoE

Things have a way of growing.

Remember how I said yesterday I was going to take a photo a day for all of February? Well, my friend Dave liked the idea. In fact, he liked it so much that he thought others might like it too. So he's christened it the Focal Plane Challenge: Month of Exposure. Here's what he came up with in terms of rules:

0. The contest begins March 1st.
1. Don't just snap a picture. That's too easy. Select a subject. Compose the shot. Think about the meaning. Try to be a photographer.
2. One image per day. You can take more than that if you like, but the idea is that it's a picture a day. No more, no less.
3. No missing days. Take a picture EVERY DAY. Even if it sucks, it's just a photoblog.
4. Keep your images private until April 1st. Then post them. I'll have mine up on Flickr, and I'll x-post them here.
5. Enjoy it! This is supposed to be a fun challenge!

We're going to have a website, any maybe we can link to people's photo collections. If you don't want a Flickr account (even though it's free!) it's really easy to make a free photo album on Photobucket or Freewebs.

I think it'll be cool, and I'd love to see a collection of 31 photos from people. I'm still going to take photos this month for practice, but next month it's for real.

Comment or email if you'd like to get in on this. I'll post the URL to the site when we get one.

  • I think its a great idea. How many pictures of Jack & Diane can you stand?

    I suck at photography. At least I have dad's old camera now. Vamp could never stand up to this kind of challenge.

    The content is really lame for now, but at least it's up and running. I hope to make it better very very soon.
