The ’1/36/12/50′ challenge // You decide what I do!

Hello,

I enjoy that all of you reading my blog, so I want to give you the possibility to participate.

The idea came into my mind two days ago, and I think this will be fun.

The basic idea is:

1. one roll of film

2. one camera

3. one fast 50 mm lens

4. one weekend

5. 36 frames

6. 12 topics

7. 3 frames per topic

8. 12 photos to be published

What I want you to do is to vote for a camera, a film and propose a topic (e.g. “women drinking a cup coffee” or “train station”). After a week or so I’ll start a poll with the proposed topics, so you can vote the final 12 topics.

After this, I’ll load the selected camera with the this special roll of film and spend a weekend in the city trying to accomplish the challenges you give me.

So the rules are: only one roll of film, a maximum of three frames per topic and 12 challenges.

When the film is developed I will present you the 12 final photos.

I will give you the possibility to vote for your favorite picture and I will send a 20×30 cm high quality print to the person who proposed the “winning photo”.

I’d be glad If you would participate and I’m curious how you will try to challenge me.

Dear facebook visitors, you are welcomed to join this as well. 😉

Thank you!

I like you guys, so here’s an other photo.

: Nikon F80, Nikkor AF 50 1.8D, Fujifilm Sensia 200

Enjoy and take care,

Jimi

  Oh thank you, I love your proposals, especially “Beauty in decay”. I’ll include all of these in the poll. I guess the poll will be huge.
  Best regards,

I haven’t been in Hamburg or anywhere in near the North Sea for a long time. So I suggest the topic:

Tides

  Well, you’ve got to come around for a visit. Hamburg is lovely 😉 If you can call a city with 2 million citizens “lovely” 😉
  I like your proposal, already got an idea. 😉

Not the most original topic, but I like the idea of “manufactured landscapes”.

[I’m not sure if you’ve heard of the movie with the same title but it’s a documentary on one of my favourite photographers, Edward Burtynsky, it’s quite good]

  Ah this one will be tough. 😉
  But I’ll add this to the poll. Have you seen the work of EVOL? A berlin based street artist. I think you’d like his work.
  Thanks for the comment.

Dear Jimi,

you know that I love most of your photographs. Especially I admire the great variety of your subjects. I would like to see architectural details in black and white.

Good luck!

Converging lines, the best “S” Curve you can find, and a great sunset view at the beach.

Hope you get the best shots soon!

Go go go!

I used to enjoy shooting Tri-X 400 pushed to 1600 (shot on Nikon F-3 and later F-4). It’s fantastic for shooting subjects with a lot of detail in low light. With that in mind, I’d suggest a topic of ‘people in their work environment’ and the grittier the environment, the better.

I’m enjoying the photographs, although they are a distraction from what I’m supposed to be doing.

  I’m flattered that my photography is able to restrain you from work. 😉
