the camera dilemma : part ii
I need a project.
Kym did a one photo a day project and that got her really using her camera and experimenting with it and now she is doing shots so good I think she should be putting out prints for sale [which she will not do because she is STUBBORN] but I am thinking maybe I should think about something like that. A photo a day. Or maybe —
I could do a specific idea. A photo essay.
My second father did this amazing photo essay one time it featured Barbie in a whole bunch of disasters and I remember thinking it was one of the funniest things I had ever seen – ironically not really seen I never saw a photo from that essay he just described the concept to me and the shots he was planning and I was laughing harder than angels at this concept of Barbie disasters so it is alive in my head still and I see the images so clearly, partly because I just know his camera work and partly because he described those shots really really well.
Okay. Photo essay. I could do that. I just need a concept that makes me happy and amused in a big big way. Like Max & Cow did when I was learning Flash. Hmm.

Might I recommend the following:

I’m considering doing it myself. (I’m considering it myself and I’m pretty much the classic example of an amateur photographer – even if I am a great lover/spy by night)
Oh my god! I love Max & Cow!!
You had not seen Max & Cow before? That was more fun. I had seven episodes planned but got interrupted I am a little sorry I never finished them.
Wow, Fork, that looks like sort of more of a commitment than I can really make right now.
Nope. First time. I have to admit, it tickles me whenever Cow says “Moo.” It made my night.
Cow has her own zen advice column in the forum.
I had no idea she spoke Spanish.
I think you should do self portraits.
Wow that is stealthy Kym. I would need a tripod and timer though.
Dan, Cow is so multilingual.
I’m feeling so unloved at the moment…
(sniff)
There there you are a big strong man you will be fine.
Uh, Max… I have to admit I never did the Barbie project but it was a good idea and I dunno what happened. I probably got divorced.
It is a great idea you should still do it.
