15. Lost

I need an assignment. I am clearly out of ideas. I assign my students a project called the "Scavenger Hunt". I give them a list of 10 vague but rich words and ask them to try and visually articulate them using the photographic medium.

If any of you out there want to send me a list of words to photograph I will do my best to respond to them photographically.

Much obliged!

    Ok here is an idea...how about themes - we're headed into spring so that could be a start. Images that symbolize spring, birth re-birth or even images depicting coming of age. Another interesting genre (since you teach History of Photography) could possibly be shooting in the style of some of the master photographers - it'd be cool to guess which photographer's style you shot when you post the images. Just some random thoughts before I had my coffee :)

    Do the words need to relate to each other? Here are some: Control, process, change, distrust, perspective, covet, conveyance, defeat, create, destroy.

    I remember when Mr. O'Malley assigned us to photograph conspicuous consumption and I had NO FREAKING IDEA what it was. I'm fairly certain he was making fun of us -- or maybe trying to wake us up from our privileged stupor. In my case, I never got the joke. So how about that assignment? Conspicuous consumption? Or affluenza? Or naivete?

    How about a letter such as V, Z, U, or O. Or maybe Verb, Eyes, Verticle, Youth. I better be careful, it may end up my assignment.
