Daily Photo Assignment

Your first (and in a way your last project) is to take a photo everyday that will ultimately be assembled into a grid as well as a video. Yes, every single day from today until the end of class (You have until Friday to start the project so that you have some time to think about it). This will result in approximately 100 photos. You must upload them to Flickr once a week so that I can monitor your progress.  By Monday evening, post what you shot for the week to Flickr.

You might try a series in which you plan your movement over the entire series. Imagine the hands of clock ticking, running it place, slowly forming a smile, watching something grow, watching something decay, how your bed looks every morning, each night while you sleep, etc...


 

NOTE: Every semester, someone fails to keep up with this assignment. Please do not try to pull a fast one and shoot 100 images on a single day and tell me that one was taken each day. It won't work. I can read the data from the files. Additionally, that would constitute academic dishonesty and I would be required to report it to the university.

It was inspired by Noah K's popular series of daily self portraits.
