Day 04 The Rules

Dear Reader (2020-04-07),

I hope you are physically and mentally healthy.  After 3 years of being on Facebook and not having any Facebook friends (by choice), I have now broken with the pattern. In these times of cave dwelling, I like many others are feeling the importance of connections – so into the abyss I go.

Today is Day 4 of a new project – 30 photographic experiments in 30 days.  An experiment means that the resulting image or images are not necessarily polished.  All projects have constraints and this one is no different.  Here are the rules, (which may change as I see fit).

1. All experiments are new to me.  In other words I don’t get to rehash things that are familiar to me.
2. No backlogs.  More than 1 experiment can be performed in 1 day, but those extra experiments cannot be queued and used as an experiment for a future date. Furthermore at least 1 experiment is to be completed everyday.
3. All experiments are to be performed (inside or outside) on our suburban Calgary property.
4. Material for experiments use stuff we already have, with the exception of glue and tape.
5. Experiments do not carry over from one day to the next, unless they are substantially different.  For instance days 2 and 3 represent different experiments.  Some experiments may need to be initiated on one day and completed on a different day.  Experiments like that only count on the day they are completed.
6. The resulting images, images, or videos have titles.
7. That is 30 days without breaks.
8. All suggestions are welcome and if you make a suggestion, I invite you to also perform the experiment yourself.

There will be a new 30 in 30 page coming soon.  In the mean time here are the first 4 days.

Cheers, Sean
