Description:
This swap was inspired by the following blog, where over the course of a year, two photographers took a photograph each week on a given subject, and compared the results. http://everydayvision.blogspot.com/ This will be a series of swaps. Each time, you should shoot a photograph with the given subject in mind & then email it to your partner in jpeg format. The subjects will be ordinary every day objects that we should all have easy access to. The best bit of this swap is seeing how we all interpreted the same subject differently, and therefore, rather than just compare your photograph to your partner's (hence, the two views) you should also CC me in your email. Once I have received everyone's photo, I'll create a montage & upload it to the Sharp Shooters Flickr page. Whether there's 5 or 15 photographs, I think it'll make really interesting viewing! :-) Remember, it's your interpretation of the subject, so there's no right or wrong way to photograph it! Perhaps have a look at google images or Flickr for inspiration. This is a really simple swap, so I hope lots of you sign-up!

So do we photograph cotton fabric?

Fun idea!

AngelFaeryKathleen - it's your interpretation of the subject, so whatever the word "cotton" means to you - there's no right or wrong photograph, which makes it all the more interesting to see what we each came up with!

ok, if I read correctly we are emailing the photo jpeg file to partner & to you the host and not sending any photos thru postal mail

what is your email address so we can "cc" you on the photo swap email so you can put it onto the Flickr page?

xsazzlex 09/22/2010 #

craftycol - maybe type "cotton" in to google images for some inspiration! I just did it & lots came up that I hadn't even considered!

Lauriez - I'll send my email address to all participants when it's time to assign partners :-)
