Ben Lifson's essay on rawworkflow.com ("Everything is Subject and Kicking Off Your Shoes") has led to much comment here over the past week or so. In particular, there has been a strong chiming with forum members on the need to carry a camera all the time and the need to find projects where the subject matter is easily available.
"I find that I produce much better work and get more satisfaction out of working within a project-based context," says Chris Kresser on the topic. "So I suppose what I need to do is come up with some ideas for projects that involve subject matter at home, at work, or on the way back and forth between the two."
So for anyone who is interested I have a proposal for something we can all shoot, and post the results in this thread as an ongoing collaborative project or exercise or simple bit of fun.
As the title above says, the idea is 'Prohibitions'. It strikes me that in a crowded and possibly over-governed world, the one thing we all see a lot of every day is the word 'no'. No Entry. No Smoking. No Running, Dive-Bombing or Petting. No, no, no.
Please feel free to join in and explore the theme in ways serious or humorous or however it grabs you. I'll get the ball rolling with three shots. Please excuse the variable quality - the second was taken with possibly the worst camera I have ever used...
First: Leica M8 with CV 15mm, 1/60th Sec ISO 320:
Next, Panasonic DMZ FZ8. Boy does this thing have a small sensor. Boy does it show. F 7.1 @ 1/125th ISO 100 and effective FOV of 44 mm and EV -1/3rd:
Finally Sigma DP1 from yesterday, F10, 1/125th, ISO 100 and effective FOV 28mm:
Best to all
