Before I start this praxis, I must once again apologise for the bad quality of many of these pictures. In my defence, it is a new camera and I haven't got the hang of focusing yet.
Most of the images haven't been included in this write-up. Feel free to view them all at the bottom, although obviously the ones I have included are the best ones.
My idea for this task was to not only mark where I had been, but also promote SF0 there as well, in the hope that someone might be inspired to join.
To do this, I made some small labels, which I could stick up whenever I went out somewhere. I collected together the logos of all the SF0 groups, together with the main logo and my two BMTHØ logos and put them on a Publisher document. I then found some images from my favourite tasks, or just pictures which would look interesting, from the game. I also found two nice photos of the Sutro Tower.
I then wrote the website address on each of the images, except the ones which already had it on them. I couldn't upload the Publisher document, so I turned the pages into a jpg pictures.


I printed out two copies of the first page and one of the second and cut out all the labels. I then carried them around in my pocket with a lump of white tac.
The first thing I did was label my room, as I am quite often in there.

The first time I was out after this we went to Bournemouth town centre.


Two times we were down there we ate out, once in a Weatherspoons and once in a Harry Ramsden's. Both were labeled.


This next picture would probably work better in the day. Next time I'm there I'll see if the label is still there and get a better photo.

The next outing was shopping in Boscombe:



Later that day, we also went for a walk in the New Forset:




The next chance I got to use my labels was walking to and from school:


The next weekend, I was at Castlepoint, a large shopping centre on the edge of Bournemouth:



Finally, I took advantage of a visit to neighbouring Christchurch to use my remaining labels:



What remained of the white tac, I disposed of on a fence post:

I'm not sure yet how successful these stickers are as adverts, but I don't really think anyone notices them. A few got glanced at by people who had seen me photographing them, but other than that I didn't see much interest.
They are, however, a lot more resistant to weather than I thought they'd be. The labels on my route to school, the ones I've been able to check up on most, have survived three days of heavy rainfall almost unchanged, so they will at least have a long time to attempt to inspire someone.

...in a car park.

Just behind this is the abandoned minigolf course which I photographed for Disobedient Nature.

Wait, is that my crimescene in the underpass?! Aah, gummywow :)
In a British underpass, no less
Very very neat, sir, those labels. pushpins + spread SF0 with a touch of clever vandalism to it, and I am always thankful for new taskable materials.
