Active Assignment Weekly for the week of December 13-21: Traces
Inspired by an emulation assignment in another group, this week’s assignment is based on Nadav Kander's “Signs That We Exist” series. Kander explains the subjects of this series as “…the marks we make and objects we leave behind act as evidence of our existence.”
The goal is to take a photo of a scene that shows evidence of our existence, passing, or visitation in a passive and minimalistic manner. The photo should emphasize the clues of our presence or activity in the world. A photo of a building certainly is a sign that we exist, but this is too overt. The more subtle approach is what I’m looking for.

From our Campground we took a cab to the Buffalo Trace Distillery and had a nice guide named Freddie. He was 3rd Generation working at the Distillery. It was just us and Freddie on the Historical Tour. One of the best tours we have been on. A must if you are in the area!
