As we announced yesterday, our new assignment reflects the work of Vivian Maier. Please post your (new!) photos between Feb 1 - 22 and use the hashtag #vivianmaierassignment.
JUNKYARD TREASURES: Maier was fascinated by what others might consider junk. So its ironic that her work was only discovered when John Maloof bought a box of photos at a flea market auction. Go find that hidden treasure that is usually overlooked - be it at the bottom of a bin, a local flea market or an estate sale.
I’M SORT OF A SPY (x2): Meander through the streets of your hometown and look - really LOOK. What catches your eye? An interesting outfit or posture? A group of people waiting for a bus? A couple holding hands at the street light? The legs of mother and child in a shop? We’re sure you’ll come up with an excellent shot. No wait - make that two! It’s the VM classic, after all.
IN THE NEWS: Vivian Maier was fascinated by the news - especially when they highlighted the folly of humanity. She also horded newspapers. For this assignment, set up a photo that has a newspaper or headline of sorts in it.
MANGLED MANNEQUIN: Next time you go window-shopping ignore the clothes and look at the mannequins. Lop-sided? Disassembled? Naked? You’ve got your shot.
MIRROR MIRROR: The classic VM selfie. Come on, we couldn’t do a Vivian Maier assignment and not have this one in there. Find something shiny and let us see a reflection of you and your camera. Shadow and smile optional.
BONUS ASSIGNMENT: A picture that no one will see: Take it, have it developed, don’t show it to anyone. Stash it away in a box. Post a photo of the box.
Please be kind and respectful when doing street photography. Vivian Maier was not just an exceptional photographer - she has also been described as “imposing and rude”. Don’t be inspired by that.
Remember: Only post new (mobile) photos, and only tag one per assignment. You can tag your outtakes with #vivianmaierassignment_outtake, though.
By the way - We’re not checking if you finish all 6 assignments, so don’t be discouraged if you can’t finish. The main thing is to start playing and have fun!

Active Assignment Weekly: June 27 - July 4: Body Parts
Your assignment is to photograph body parts. Keep the props, or clothing to a minimum and really focus in on a body part. With that said PLEASE remember the group rules and keep it clean.
Dare: Make it abstract or hard to tell what part of the body you have chosen (please refrain from the cliche arm or leg crack made to look like a butt)
Restriction: No full face or full body shots, and as stated before no naughty areas.
WIT: Halogen reading light lying on the bed.. F/2.8, 1/20 sec. ISO 1600. CS4 curves for high contrast, vibrance reduction, dark blue filter to take out some of the bright orange-ness, noise reduction, gaussian blur, resize. View on black..
Strobist info. - SB800 at top of stairs 1/4 power camera right fired through railings and SB800 at bottom of stairs camera left with DIY gridspot I think at 1/32 power
This assignment was fun and allowed for more creativity. My original plan was to try and make the bottle blend into the ski lift tower. However, the lighting at the top of the mountain didn't allow for me to set this angle up (too much lens flare). Instead I looked for good lighting and set up my bottle and flash.
This photo was shot during sunset on top of Bolton Valley in Vermont. I used a long lens 70-200 to help blur the background to a nice blend of colors. I then placed my flash on the ground (right hand side of the bottle) and laid flat on the ground to take this photo.
Here are the specs for my photo:
1/350s @2.8
ISO 200
Focal Length 108mm
No tripod
1 Off camera Flash (Canon 550EX)

Active Assignment Weekly: Sept 13- Sept 20: Bokeh
Texas Tongs says:
Okay, this week, get ready to crank up your aperture and compose a nice Bokeh photograph.
In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light.
Restriction: No blurring using post processing techniques, bokeh should come right out of the lens.
WIT: These are the seed heads of some decorative grasses that we have growing in the back yard. I found that when trying photograph these that there is a distinct correlation between focusing and the breeze blowing. For post processing I cropped, sharpened, and did a little buring along the length of the grasses.

Active Assignment Weekly: July 23 - 30, 2012 - Your assignment this week is to emulate the work of famous photographer, Jay Maisel. Go through his photos, do some research into his technique, and then choose a few photos of his that inspires an emulated image of your own.
Wit: Had a hard time with this one, but as others have mentioned, contrast, colour blocking, interupted pattern, and using every inch came to mind on this one. Was on a day tour of Toronto with DAP! and shot hundreds of images (and some black and white film) and this one stood out most for the assignment, SOOC.
Active Assignment Weekly - June 13 - 20: Tickle the Funnybone
Assignment:
Take a picture that is humorous - let's have a laugh this week.
Restriction: No humans or parts of humans are allowed in the picture.
Dare: Create an image that doesn't require a caption to be funny.
WIT:
I think the title says it all here, but one never knows. I hope there are many reasons to laugh at this, and if not, oink oink.
I shot this outside a favorite joint of mine this morning, hoping I'd find the perfect spot for this pair. I've used them once for a photo, but the results weren't that great.
In PP: I just adjusted the curves, then bent the green and red curves a bit for a lomo look.
Active Assignment Weekly - Motion Blur.
Well I choose this assignment because I needed practice and wow... Throughout the week i tried to improve on my technique and abilities but a week was not long enough, lol...
This is my 13 year old, rescued Xolo. After being in a cage her whole life, this girl loves to RUN!
I truly appreciate suggestions and critiques.as i really struggled with my settings on this assignment.
WIT: Slowing down my shutter and playing around with ISO and Aperture due to a dark cloudy day. In PP - i boosted the lighting and the shadows.
Assignment 1 - Wild doodling - My doodle! I used a black biro pen and coloured pencils (the watercolour ones). I frequently doodle this squiggly pattern - today i was out in the wind collecting fallen leaves which were amazing colours so i made my squiggly doodle into a tree, with leaves blowing in the wind. No idea how to draw the wind, so blue swirly pattern represents the wind (not sure it showed up clearly in the scan?). No clue how Flickr works so hopefully this will go to the right place! Clare
Active Assignment Weekly
For this week's assignment you need to"Frame" your subject with something natural or staged...But..Not with Photoshop or one of those other funky programs.
Restriction: No imported frame.
Dare:Take the assignment literally.
Well I headed out to work on this assignment but my dogs were not cooperating. So I figured I'd make the pups model for me another day and try to combine the weekly and monthly assignments together.
I wanted it to look as though it was a picture hanging up and the glass being broken and liquefying.
WIT: I rotated it 90 degrees in Picasa and adjusted the lighting.

Active Assignment Weekly 19-26 Feb 2018: Doors and Windows
Spec: capture a window and/or a door (or a part of a window and/or door). Restriction: Avoid getting yourself in the reflection, if there is one. Dare: Submit two photos this week--one of a window and one of a door, or submit a photo that has both.
This is my not quite so glamorous security door (cf Peter's Dutch photo) taken early evening as the sun is going down.
WIT: straightened verticals, cropped to focus on the door and it's shadow, played with contrast and saturation in Colour Efex Pro.
I wrote to the NYPD to see if they had any records relating to my great-grandfather Michael Tierney who we believed was a New York policeman.
I know there was another (likely unrelated) Michael W. Tierney on the force around the same time. Michael W. was a friend of Theodore Roosevelt and higher profile member of the force who made rounds with TR when he was trying to clean up the police force from corruption and, apparently, much beer drinking.
You can find some interesting references to these in the historical NY Times in the summer of 1895. Click here for one example.
Within several weeks I happily received a letter back from the NYPD along with other information including this terrific Transfer and Assignment Card that contains all sorts of information previously unknown to us, including his birth, naturalization and death dates, precinct assignments, retirement date and pension ($700, apparently due to disability since a Surgeon's Certificate is noted), previous occupation (Hostler, or stableman), addresses (known from the census).
Sadly, he retired in March and died in December, 1913.
No origin location more detailed than "Ireland", but I'll take the rest, thank you very much.
His photo can be found here.
