I love this one.

This'll give me a chance to experiment with the bulb setting on my Holga, or take more color-flash shots.

I'd love to do this one, but with me being fifteen, I don't think that my mum would be too keen. Night-back-garden Photography =P?

That's one of the good things about having a tasking dad, you don't have to deal with stuff like that.

I just voted for another of these Praxii, but I wanted to point something out and also put my vote behind a suggestion. The directions for this task state very clearly, "Explore your neighborhood," which would disqualify the completion I just voted for, and would disqualify others (including the current leader), because the tasks are being performed in a neighborhood the tasker is only visiting.

I think the original intention of the task was for the taskers to find things of interest that the tasker might never notice in the daylight in their own neighborhoods. I think it was originally intended to be about finding the extraordinary at night in what the tasker normally only saw as ordinary in the daylight.

That said, I think the praxis has really only been helped by the fact that folks have chosen to do the task in the extraordinary surroundings in which they find themselves, and I would like to make the following proposal: Please replace the words "your neighborhood" with the words "a neighborhood" and continue the praxis as it has been running. If you choose the neighborhood to be your own, that's awesome. If you choose a different neighborhood, that's awesome, too.
Anyone else have any thoughts?

I performed it once (originally) in my neighborhood just as you explain it. Then I went out and did it again in a different neighborhood, and I will continue to explore different neighborhoods and add them to my praxis. But the original is still there. MY neighborhood. Which I think qualifies. Because I did both things.

So I think the wording is fine. I have no problem with the bending or sometimes breaking of rules.

yeah, something about the great artist making their own moral universe? or something. in this case I'm pretty forgiving though I like JTony's note about seeing the features you might otherwise miss in a place you already feel is familiar.

I did it in my neighborhood, and it was awesome, however- I do see that the concept of 'your neighborhood' could be viewed in a 'be-in-the-place-where-you-are' sort of way. I've lived most of my life in all kinds of places where I didn't lay claim to a single square inch of real estate.
That said, I think the nitpicking of specifics of tasks like this one gets a bit out of hand sometimes. But then, I do it too.

I did mine during a period of transition between two neighborhoods. Neither before nor after was that one mine, but it's where I was sleeping when I completed the task.

Also: in a praxis on this recently I mentioned the possibility that this should be a good introductory task, possibly even at level zero a la Seeing Beyond Sight. What do others think?
