Group DITL?

After posting the photos from the “Day in the Life” project I did last Friday, a few people have expressed interest in doing so as well as a group effort.

The idea is that all participants would document the same day in their lives through photography. Then, over the following week or so, everyone will share the results of this effort. There are several groups on the Internet doing this already — in particular, the DITL LiveJournal Group (their next DITL day is tomorrow, BTW) and several groups on Flickr (most of which don’t seem incredibly active). However, there’s always room for improvement and localization.

In this case, at least at first, I’d like to try to arrange some sort of group event to occur on the same day. That way we’d all be photographing our lives and then, at some point, those lives would come together and then, later, separate again. I’m aiming for either this Saturday (the 19th) or the next (the 26th). I’m thinking I should either try to arrange something to do (picnic, movie outing, dinner, walk around the lake, party, etc). Or, perhaps I should just encourage you all to get together with one another that day by having some silly awards for the person who has the most photographs of other people taking photographs from that same day. Something like that.

So, what do you think? Any ideas? Would you like to participate? Let me know.

DITL – 2008-01-11

I’ve always wanted to try documenting an entire day of my life through photography. I recently purchased a Canon Powershot Point and Shoot, since lugging around all my gear all the time with the baby just isn’t possible like it was before. I figure this would give me an opportunity to test out the camera and try my hand at documenting a “Day In The Life”.

In the end I realized that taking even slightly artsy photographs while actually holding a baby can be very difficult. As a documentation effort, there are some things that I neglected entirely. So, next time I’ll try harder. All in all it was fun. I think it’d be really fun to get a handful of friends to all do this on the same day to compare photos and see how our lives linked together.

At any rate, here are the results. Start with the first image of the Alarm Clock and you can work your way forward with little notes on each image.

What to do in a room full of TVs

tags: -blog, funny, stupidtricks, tvs

  • Think about it. You’re at one of the biggest electronics conventions ever, there are thousands and thousands of TVs everywhere, and no one bothers to cover the IR ports on the front of them. Can you blame Gizmodo for taking advantage of the situation?
