The Photo Game: Unusual/Uncommon/Unique
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 we were tasked 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 has 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 taken, processed, and submitted by 8AM 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 prompt was "Unusual/Uncommon/Unique." The Ford F-150 has been the #1 selling truck in the United States for 46 years. Despite that, seeing vintage examples on the road and in good condition feels rare.
This truck caught my attention partly because of its age and partly because of how small it looks next to a modern Range Rover. It's wild to see how today's SUVs dwarf the farm trucks of the past.
I captured this photo on Ilford HP5+ with my Canonet QL17.
