Thirty Six

There are times I feel like making life even harder than it already is. Haha. I recently decided to do a fun ‘project’ with 2 friends by setting 36 different themese/subjects and each of us are supposed to finish taking a roll of 35mm film (36 exposures one of course) and then scan each and every frame of it. Yeah … even those screwed up or under/over exposed ones. Then we will ‘merge’ all the results and see how we individually interpret the themes/subjects.

The list of themes/subjects are as follows …

1.     Myself
2.     Sound
3.     Up
4.     Move
5.     Colours
6.     Technology
7.     Path(s)
8.     Window(s)
9.     Sign(s)
10.    Liquid
11.    Time
12.    Shake
13.    Food
14.    Chaos
15.    Peace
16.    Nature
17.    Analogue
18.    Fruit(s)
19.    Aged
20.    Idol
21.    Round
22.    Pattern(s)
23.    Two
24.    Red
25.    Her
26.    Line(s)
27.    Home
28.    Box
29.    Comfortable
30.    Lock
31.    Double
32.    Shape(s)
33.    Floor
34.    Mess
35.    Sky
36.    Last

I was told that some of the themes/subjects are pretty tough but then I thought the more challenging they are … the more fun it’s gonna get. One of the friend who is in this ‘project’ told me she got stuck at ‘colours’ because she loaded a roll of black & white film in the camera. Hahaha! But then later she told me she settled that ‘problem’ already. I’m really excited to see the results.

Oh … I have a confession … I’ve not even started shooting. Hahaha. I wanted to use my LC-A+ for this but I have a roll of Tungsten film in it halfway through. Duh! I loaded a roll of Elitechrome into my Blackbird, Fly and hope I can finish all the 36 themes/subjects this weekend.

Stay tuned for the results. Oh by the way … if you are interested to join us in this, do drop me a message and let’s all have big fun. The only condition is that you make sure you shoot in sequence (according to themes above) and then scan each and every frame when you get the film developed. Game enough for it? 😀

Oh … our deadline for this is on the 15th June 2009. Do drop me a message if you are joining us. Psstt … try not to cheat. Shoot and scan each and every frame in sequence.
