Week 22
Same, but different
Go back to something you have photographed before. Same subject, same location. What do you see now that you missed?
Week 23
Background
Make the background the subject. Whatever you would normally ignore, put it front and center.
Week 24
Ugly beautiful
Find something genuinely ugly and make it look good. No irony. No jokes. Make it actually beautiful.
Week 25
The same hour, every day
Pick one time of day and photograph something at that exact time, every day for a week. See what changes.
Artist Spotlight · June
Vivian Maier
Spent decades photographing strangers, storefronts, and the texture of everyday life on the streets of Chicago and New York. Never showed the work to anyone. Discovered after her death, in a storage locker, by accident.
