The other day, I challenged my advanced photography students. I let them each pick from some common and mundane items that were lying around the room. Items like a tape dispenser, post-it notes, a push-pin, scissors, etc. I then told them that they had two full days to bring me 10 interesting images of that one item. They had no other rules, except that they could not damage the non-dispensible items.
I decided to take upon myself to also partake in the project. I chose a simple velcro tie that was sitting on my desk. Here are the results of 40 minutes of work:
While I certainly didn't break any major barriers with these pictures, I did enjoy the challenge of finding creative ways to inject visual interest in a rather boring subject. This is a good exercise if you are looking for ways to view things differently.
