Category: Sober Girls’ Photography Project

Time for a new sober photography project! to participate, you can be a photographer, or a painter or a drawer… Time to dust off the camera, and get ready to photograph, draw or paint something lovely…

If you’re new to the blog, you can learn more about the idea of having a sober hobby here. See the results from previous projects here.

This is open for anybody, you don’t have to be a fancy ass photographer. No inner critic allowed. Are you ready?

Assignment #26 … Christmas (Holiday season)

Take a picture of something Christmasy. If you don’t celebrate, then you can find something else seasonal. 

• DEADLINE: Saturday, December 17th @ 12 noon Eastern. Yes, a short deadline. The longer the deadline, the more likely we are to procrastinate, oui?
  
• The format is open: for photos, you can use your camera phone or a nice camera. For drawings, paintings, just take a picture (or scan) and email to me.
• The project must be original, and produced AFTER the assignment is received (like, no going through past pictures taken, it has to be new).
• If you suck at photo adjustments or cropping, send it anyway with a note that you’d like me to adjust.
• Send as LARGE a file size as you can manage (up to 12MB per image).  Don’t reduce for size.  the bigger the better.
• Um, you have to be sober …
• One entry per person per assignment (think of the size of my inbox!)

NOTE: Find something and take a picture. It’ll turn out better than you think it will. This is a fun project, you remember fun right? I learned all about fun by doing this with Christina.

Here’s an example of a Christmas photo to get you started. I took this one last week in Melbourne.

Announcing a Book Cover Contest.
There will be PRIZES (art + chocolate + chocolate) for three random winners.

TO ENTER:
Send me a photo of my book. put it somewhere in your house and take a picture. or go outside. make a shrine. arrange with flowers. (if you got the audio or e-versions, then you have to be more creative with your photo, like you can take a picture of your e-reader!)

This is NOT a contest of artistic beauty; winners will be chosen randomly. I really do have cool gifts to send out. photos of gifts in next email.

Deadline July 1, 2016 (which is my 4 year soberversary).
