Over dinner I suggested to a coworker, who is taking singing lessons, that he produce daily videos where he sings a song – the same one every day – but sings it in a way that would reflect the overall mood of the day. So if he was having a good day, the song would be sung in a more upbeat fashion, etc. Well, he didn’t go for the idea, but it gave me one. Not exactly an original one, but that’s not the point. The plan is to create a photoset on Flickr where I will upload a daily photo. The hope is that this exercise will get me using my camera a lot more often. Doesn’t really matter if the photos are crappy, and doesn’t matter that just about everyone out there is already doing something like this, the point is to get myself (even more) motivated about photography.
So, as we were still eating dinner, I decided to get started with this project. Below is the first photo of the set.
Yes, so it’s crappy and corporate and there’s practically nothing I like about it. I can probably try and read some BS into it, like the bowl of food represents my day, unfinished and ultimately unsatisfying, but that’d be stupid. And, once again, not the point of the exercise.
