The Camera Conundrum by Laura, Lizzy

February 10th, 2007 11:55 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Procure a disposable camera and group of collaborators. Take the camera around town, snapping pictures. They could be a series of simply odd snapshots, or they could tell a sequential narrative, or somewhere in between.

Leave the camera, undeveloped, in a public space with a note attached. The note could sumplement the mysterious narrative with clues, or it could simple say, a la Lewis Carroll: "Develop Me."

If possible, document results.

We thought that this would be an awesome task. We bought a disposable camera and some gum at the store and then headed to Mill Ave. in Tempe, Arizona. We decided to not have a theme in our pictures, but to seemingly have a theme for the viewer to try and figure out. Before we began our task, Lizzy was being an anal bi-otch and refused to stay parked in our original parking space, we had to go back and repark the car. We started our quest with a homeless man and a clock. It only cost Laura $1.50 in change and a cigarette, he also insisted that she hold the camera properly. We started off down Mill Ave. towards The Big Bang (a dueling pianos bar) with a neon sign pointing downstairs. There was a man dressed as Jesus on the side of the road with long fingernails, he said he would have his picture taken for a cigarette (also provided by Laura, who apparently likes to kill people slowly). We found various things to take pictures of in the area, including giant rabbits, a spiral and a roadrunner. Various people gave us disturbed looks as we stopped randomly to take photographs; some people we passed more than once. At the end of our camera, the problem came. How would we get rid of this thing? In the middle of the drum circle? In a donation cup? On a windshield? It came to us as we watched the drummers, we would pass it off with a note, "If you don't or can't develop the pictures, please hand it off to a stranger or someone who can." Lizzy had no balls, but did pick the victim- a young emo guy with a cap. Laura nudged him, handed him the camera and began to walk away. The emo boy asked, "What? Do you want me to take a picture?" Laura said, "No, it's all there," and walked away. (And, well, the rest is history)
