AEzine Challenge: Photo Point of View

From the latest issue of AEzine:


This week your challenge is to create a layout that tells the story of your relationship with photos and/or your camera.


Consider the following questions:


What is your personal photo-taking process?

What are your strengths in regards to taking photos?

What do you want to change about your process?

Which photos that you have taken are your favorites? Why?

What makes those photos your favorite?


If you don't have time to create a layout this week I would encourage you to simply think about how you take photos. Write down a photo goal for yourself this week and do something about it over the next seven days.


+++


Can't wait to take a peek at what you have created this week! I got behind and didn't have a chance to put a layout together yet. Tonight, after I get done with classes for today, I will pick a couple samples out of what is linked in the comments and feature them here on my blog.


Happy Friday!

    I take a ton of pictures hoping for the perfect shot, sometimes we get it. Enjoy my layout.

    cool challenge.
    Right now my biggest photo goal is to find my camera! (with my pics of seeing Stacy J in CT, and moonrise over the river, and fall foliage around my house .... why do I not download photos faster?)
    Wish me luck! I think the hockey rink may have it...

    This was definitely worth the 2 hours I took from my once-a-week babysitter watching my 3-year old time. Scrapping! Crazy! Infinitely better, however, than sorting laundry, (which'll keep!) though I do wish I could scan better and that my son would quit trying to help me type! (OK, he's a baby obsessed with pressing buttons. Cute, but persistant.) Thanks for the new mag Ali! I'm really enjoying sneaking away to savor it. ~Natalie

    This was my very first challenge ever. It was way cool & I had so much fun being stretched creatively. Here's my page -- it was even finished on Wednesday because I was excited for my first-ever post! Thanks for great ideas & a great blog. http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com/gallery/details.ihtml?idx=22615

    Ali, thank you so much for this opportunity for those of us who may have once been private in thier scrapbooking to let there stories be seen to so many more people than we would have ever thought possible. Thank you!
    For this layout I made photo cluster in photoshop and added rub-ons, word stickers and handwritting. I created a pull tab on the bottom right corner that holds my journaling describing my photography style.
    Thanks again...thanks for the CHALLENGE!

    I had fun with this challenge. Went digital this time & happy with the result. Unfortunately, I had to redo it....forgot to save & my program had an error. DOH!! Lesson learned!

    so here's my homework, literally. this was a HUGE exercise for me that i would never have done otherwise(but that's the idea, huh?!) it's a very right brain creation, but that's what i needed for this one. sorry the journaling is hard to read- i packed a bunch in there. thnx for the awesome brain food!

    My photo goal, ever since you came to Edmonton, is to learn how to make those great collages that you do in Photoshop.
    Well I did it!
    this week I learned, and I even posted one on my blog...
