The Photo Game: Country Roads

I love the routine of seeing something, doubling back, and checking it out. It's spontaneous.

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 enjoyed driving around country roads, looking for photographs. I love the routine of seeing something, doubling back, and checking it out. It's spontaneous.

I made this photo using a Nikon N90s and Ilford HP5+.
