The Photo Game: Reflection

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's submission came down to the wire due to a lack of focus. I spent most of the week thinking about work, which distracted me from making photographs.

Usually, I'd be bothered by work pushing out hobbies. I already spend too many hours in front of my computer. I don't want work to encroach on the rest of my life, but sometimes I can't help it. I love building things, and I'm addicted to the satisfaction that comes from solving complex problems.

So, photography took a back seat this week, but I still came away with several images I'm proud to share.

This photo was made on Ilford HP5+ using a Nikon N90s.
