#2. Yellow Car (no taxi cabs)
Photography is not my forte. Come to think of it, I’m not sure I have a forte. I’m pretty much one of those guys that can do most things adequately (at best) but in no specific area would I dare call myself an expert. That has never really stopped me. I’ll still jump right in and participate in just about any activity. Within reason.
My latest foray? James from Quirkee.com and Daddyshack fame has organized a group on Flickr called the Daddyshack Scavenger Hunt. Each week our task is to photograph a group of selected items and post the pictures to the scavenger hunt pool on the Flickr group page. Interpretation is left entirely to the photographer.
I have found these past few weeks that the scavenger hunt has provided an enjoyable outlet. It shifts focus from otherwise mundane and ordinary objects in our environment and makes me think. It has also turned into a bit of a family activity as Zoë has started to ask for the list and will help me to find items as we travel here and there throughout the course of the week.
It’s a fun way to shake the dust off of your camera and start snapping pictures all in a laid-back, no pressure sort of way. If for some reason you are unable to get all of the shots during the week—”No worries!” to quote an often used phrase by James.
Here’s a link to the Daddyshack Scavenger Hunt page on Flickr. Stop by, sign up and start hunting. You’ll be glad you did. Oh, and tell em Ed sent ya.
