The Photo Game: Circles
Background
I joined Kenneth Wajda and a small group of photographers in a weekly photo game a while ago. Kenneth wrote a prompt each week and tasked us with creating a photograph that met the prompt. Unfortunately, Kenneth's photo game is taking a break.
Since I'm not prepared to give up the game, my wife graciously agreed to provide me with a surprise prompt each week so that I can continue.
The rules are still the same:
- All submissions must be scans of film, no photos from digital cameras
- Images must be captured, processed, and submitted by 8 AM each Saturday
- Miss a week, and you're out
My goal in playing is simple. Get out and shoot film.
This Week
This week I was inspired to make a lot of photographs. I shot most of the roll before Monday, creating images of the lush greenery along my daily walk and my daughter playing dress-up in Mom's shoes.
These things spoke to me. They caught my eye in a way that compelled me to photograph them, which is the magic of the Photo Game. It forces me to pay attention, to notice things I might miss otherwise.
My submission for this week is an image of a wheel loader parked at a residential construction site, resting on four giant circles (i.e., wheels).
