inspiring photo series
http://thedailywh.at/2012/01/05/photo-series-of-the-day-14/
As told in the video above, Jeff Harris is a Toronto photographer who has been documenting every day of his life for twelve years. I really like this idea because it forces the photographer/subject to be aware and appreciative of their environment. While I think Harris's plan is brilliant I was disappointed to find he doesn't take all of the pictures himself. Not taking your own pictures makes them less of your own. On a positive note, by taking a picture everyday one is able to see Harris's growth in photography; as time progresses his pictures become more creative. On his website you can view all his pictures from Jan. of 1999 to Dec. of 2011. I would suggest viewing the video above before looking at his website.

Putting images into shapes
I was really drawn to this piece because of its dimension which, I suspect, is the result of the artists layering and shaping her images and then setting them against a black and white background. I found a Photoshop tutorial which allows you to insert your images into shapes; something I may very well try!
