Photo Competition Number 1 by Avalon

February 3rd, 2008 6:03 PM / Location: 47.612412,-122.3443

INSTRUCTIONS: Form small teams. Each team has 1.5 hours to take the following pictures:

* Text [ prominently featuring text of some kind, in any language ]
* Portrait [ either of someone you know or a stranger ]
* Black & White
* Place Of Business [ of or in a place of business ]
* Corner of Stockton & Post [ where the streets meet - choose a different corner if you aren't in SF ]
* 5 Wild Cards [ of whatever you like ]

The picture categories may overlap (black & white + text, for example). You must have at least one picture of each kind.

After 1.5 hours, meet up and share results.

I took off around 5p today for some picture taking around downtown Seattle.

Lessons learned:

- most people do not like it when you take their picture (one of my portrait shots didn't come out as I had to run away from the person who was going to be in the portrait before the camera went off)

- pike place market is a weird place to be after it closes

- the workers of left bank books (anarchist book store) like it especially less when you try to take their picture, and really freak about you even having a camera around them
