Anyhoo, Jeff posed a challenge to all of us photographers out there to approach a scene and only take 19 pictures... with an extra added challenge of no looking or deleting. In other words, pretend that we were shooting with film and make each frame count.
I will admit that sometimes I do get carried away with digital images - the fact that each picture is "free" and I can snap as many as I want doesn't always make me a better photographer. I know if anything, this challenge and my 365 project have taught me to slow down, observe a scene and take one or two interesting photos of a scene instead of 1,590. Because really, who needs 1,590 pictures of a leaf? :)
I had been keeping my eye out for a scene for a week or so, and was wondering where I was going to go when I happened upon this place last Saturday. I was shooting some photos for one of my groom's bands BOWSER (but more on this later), and they led me to these abandoned buildings in downtown Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin (insert photographer flip out here). I knew it was perfect. Lots of old stuff. Lots of falling apart stuff. Lots of stuff in places that don't make sense.
But I'll let the pictures do the talking.
Here are my 19 photos!
So there you have it! This is a contest among other photographers - so leave me some love so they know who to pick! :)
Also, if you'd like to participate, the contest is open through Monday, so get snapping!
Jenn, I love this!! What an AWESOME location!! I cannot wait to see your BOWSER pictures, but I LOVE the 19 frames idea/the final product!! Woohoo! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteVery cool Jenn! You have an awesome talent!
ReplyDeleteOk, the one of the prickly thingys (birdocks??) is my fave simply because of that gorgeous teal color behind it. What a catch!
ReplyDeleteGreat work! I definitely got a feel for the story from your 19 frames. Nice!
ReplyDeleteVery well done!- Jenn. I can "see" the story from your pictures.
