One of my favorite exhibitions that we saw on the first trip was the Photographer's Playbook. Even though not all of the photos in the exhibition were great I really liked the idea of seeing how the photographers handled the assignments they were given. It's usually difficult to work from an assignment personally, but I think it presents itself as a good challenge to flex your problem solving skills. I also enjoyed how goofy some of the items on the assignment list were, "Shirley Temple would wake up every day, do one push up, then sing the pledge of allegiance in the mirror, then the writer challenged the reader to find something that gives them an edge every day. The one work I found interesting was a piece where the photographer followed a local personality around for a day and created a hand made zine accompanied with a video. (I'll have to upload the pictures later).
This lead me to follow the same idea of following someone around for a day. However, this photographer's assignment was handled somewhat seriously, but I wanted to take this challenge somewhat less seriously and put my own spin on it. Which is why I chose to 'follow' a cloud around for a day in the life.
