I have a new homework assignment for my photography class. For our previous assignment we had to take pictures keeping in mind three components: Beauty, Meaning and Format (remember my Mallet Finger). For this assignment, we add Creativity. The instructor said Creativity is what brings life to a picture and makes it uniquely our own with concepts like freshness, humor, "interpretation that overwhelms translation"... "Creativity is born when necessity meets constraint".
So, our assignment is to choose any theme (word, object, concept, color, relationship... ANYTHING) and photograph it 15 different ways and then take one of those pictures and INTERPRET it 10 different ways. The idea is by the time we get to the end of this assignment we are going to be forced to think outside the box because we will have run out of obvious ideas.
My theme is "Travel" which is appropriate because a week from today, I'm going to be traveling to a place that requires a passport. More on that later.
FYI, I've taken three travel pictures, have ideas for three more and then I'm stuck. This assignment will require, in the end (approximately three weeks from now) 25 pictures and I'm out of ideas after six. YIKES!
Creative "Travel" ideas are welcome! ;D
