CLOSED: 2012-Week 1 Photo Assignment - "Minimalism"

[Steve Paxton]

The theme for the 1st weekly assignment of 2012 is "Minimalism" - as in Minimalism in Photography. The idea is to remove distractions and to capture the everyday simplicity in the world around you. Here are a few ideas: Zoom in on your subject! For example, you could be hunting for images in a busy urban setting with chaos all around you. You might identify something small to photograph and compose your image in such a way as to isolate it and remove the nearby distractions. Zoom out and go wide! Here you might capture a single tree standing alone in a huge field. Keep your eyes open for opportunities this week - I know you can do this!



The assignment closes at the end of the day on Sunday, January 8, 2012 - giving you plenty of time to participate!

Assignment Guidelines

• Weekly assignments have been setup to challenge you as a photographer. View the assignments as an opportunity to push yourself and grow.
• You can enter as many images as you wish.
• Do the best you can to capture the images during the week of the assignment (however it is understandable that this may not always be possible - so do the best you can).
• The images must be captured and processed by you.
• Please resize your images to 1000 pixels wide (or smaller) before uploading them.
• You can attach or link to your images - just make sure that the images are displayed in this thread.

This one is realized using a sepia-glass, the same I hope it might be significative...

Great work Andrea (I love the "Silent Guardian") and Marco (the cross is very cool)!
