The Used

There is something amazingly poetic about an object in the state of decomposition, moving from new and wanted, to discarded and useless-- left behind. In this project, we will locate those items and capture them through the lens of our cameras. Then bring them back, edit them, and tell the story of the USED.

ASSIGNMENT
Find something that is old, antique, aging, or decaying that catches your attention. It could be...
* An old house * A rusting old car * A junkyard * An old falling-down swing * Something else?

Take 25 photos of this subject from different angles, different perspective and different views. Think about what sort of story you are telling with your photos.

Remember, you are taking digital photos so don’t be afraid to shoot lots of shots. Digital photos are free.

Have the images uploaded to your I-Photo folder or on your USB flashdrive by Monday, Sept. 20th.

We will edit these, write poems about them, and share them with the world.

When you have a pretty good idea of what you want to shoot, tell us by adding a comment to this POST.

  5. I'll probably take pictures of an old barn or other old farm things. Or maybe something completely different. Yeah.
