April 1 :: The challenge

Posted in Misc on April 01, 2010

Hi guys,

It’s a new month and a new challenge. Ready? I’m super excited about this.

We’re doing something different this month. Here’s the deal:

1. Use one or all of the following words – it’s totally up to you: Light. Hope. Dark. Blue.

2. Your photo must be taken with a cell phone.

3. Please include a tag line with your photo in 5 words. (important: please also indicate if you are a past student or not)

4. Upload your photo to our Facebook page* – 503 Happenings.

+++

* Something different: This month, instead of having you email us your photo or posting them to the forum, I want you all to upload your photo to our FB page. This is for a couple different reasons.

1. The continuation forum for past students – and yes, this is an announcement, too – is coming to a close. This is simply because we think it will be more efficient for everyone to simply connect on Facebook. A place where most of us spend a bit of time every day anyways. On FB you’ll still have the freedom to post photos for critique, ask questions (in the discussions tab) and of course, upload your challenge photos.

2. If everyone uploads their photos to Facebook everyone will be able to see each other’s photo. So, not only will there be a challenge to keep you exercising your left brain, it will also serve as a place for us to glean inspiration from one another.

I’m super excited about the challenge this month! I can’t wait to see the photos you guys capture simply using your camera phones!

Here are a few photos of mine … I hope these help to get your wheels spinning …

Jes, will you remind me when the photo is due in?

Do we have to only use one or all the words? Or can we use 2 or 3 if we want to? This may be silly, but Ross interpreted it differently than I did and I wanted to be sure!

use one or all of them (or just two like I did a few times in my examples). it’s up to you.

Silly question…but does one need to be a Facebook member in order to upload to Facebook? I know, I know – I am probably the only person on the planet who does not FB, Twitter or Tweet!

You can either have a friend upload it for you (they can upload & tag to 503 Happenings) or you can just email it in.

I can’t tag 503 Happenings…it won’t pop the name in there
