No exceptions.

You are taking your camera with you not loaded with film or storage card, explore scenes, composition and happily press the shutter - the only image of the scene will be the one in your memory.

Who's in?

Cheers,
Uwe
 
Are you actually losing your creative mind by not having a camera with you or rather not taking pictures?

Cheers,
Uwe
 
I was thinking of trying to go for one year with my left arm tied behind my back, you know, because limitations spark creativity.

I wrote about doing something like this, back in early 2008, here on my blog. The project involved using a pretend (i.e. faux) camera, which I documented on F295. Here's a picture of my fauxtographic device. The viewfinder is hacked from an old plastic Polaroid 600 camera (it's a pretty good VF, actually); the body of the camera is made from a block of wood, with parts from the Polaroid glued on as needed. I imbedded a clothespin clicker device with which to make the shutter sound when an image is to be captured onto one's neural storage media. I also installed an "erase" switch on the bottom of the camera, in case one is challenged in public about taking pictures and is forced to delete one's images.

I haven't used this device as much as I originally intended, as it's more a blend of performance art, photography and subtle protest against the rise of the Security State. But I'd like to have someone accompany me with a compact video camera (like a Flip) with which to document public reaction to my fauxtographic activities.

PS: The images I'm getting with this camera are extraordinary; although I noticed they do tend to fade in detail over time, something about long term memory and persistence of vision, technical details that are way over my head. The audible "click" at the time of capture helps one to isolate a particular visual moment in time. I'm not certain how I'll share these images, perhaps a gallery showing with matte boards in frames behind glass, with a description of the faux image on an adjacent placard.
