I came to the Eye of Horus knowing little except it would be a street game with a camera.
I teamed up with a few others, and we were known as the Galactic Overachievers (or something like that) in regards to how much camera gear we brought among us. One person was taken from each group (Oliver, from ours) and put in another group to be a "watcher". Their job was bascially to make sure that people only took one photograph for each thing.
The game was broken up into 3 sections. For the first section we were given a list of maybe 15-20 words and we had to go out in the neighborhood and photograph something that embodied those things. They could be in any order
Part 2, we were given another list of words. These had to be completed in order, and the photographer had to have a blindfold on. I think we had to switch off who took the photo? or maybe we just decided to do that? I forget for sure.
Part 3, we had another list of words, and this time the watchers had to try to photobomb us. If any of the watchers got in one of our photographs, it counted against us.
At the end, we all met up and reviewed photos. There was a sort of head-to-head style competition where a few of the words were chosen and two teams showed their photos for a few of the goals and the audience voted. This worked ok, but I don't think was perfect. It was neat to see people's photos, but it would have been neat ot maybe be able to choose which of yours were the ones you thought could best compete.
I thought a lot of it was fun, a few things I thought didn't work as well as I'd like. It was great running around and trying to interpret more abstract words in specific ways. There were a lot of things we had to get pretty creative with. The blindfold photography was inetresting. I like having groups interact, but I thought pulling one person from the group wasn't ideal. Especially when there wound up being some small groups. Though I did think the photobombing added an exciting element. We were forced to be very aware and careful of what was in our shots. Our group managed to avoid any photobombers.
Below are a sampling of the 60 photos our group took.

Your bird at rest was an interesting twist, because I've seen that logo so many times, yet I would not have been able to say really what it was.
I like that a lot. Now I'm sad I missed it. Where was I? What was I doing?
