It will take us 6 weeks to read the book. Each week you will be assigned a different photo project. This week's project (due no later then 4pm, Saturday, 4/11) :
- Create an account for yourself at http://www.flickr.com/
- Pick a favorite / interesting object to photograph.
- Take at least 10 different pictures of that object. By 'different' I mean any or all of the following: location, lighting, distance, setting, camera, etc.
- Review the photos and choose the one that you feels best captures the object.
- Upload at least 5 of the photos to your flicker account. Add comments to each photo that indicates what you like and do not like about it. Your favorite should be the last in the collection.
- Return here and reply with a link to the flicker slideshow of your pictures.

These photos are of my first and favorite matrioshka set.
Ben-
I managed to view your matrioshka pictures after a little playing around with the flicker site. The photos I enjoyed most highlighted the faces of the dolls and made me expect to see some type of narrative with the matrioshkas as living characters, a type of film that is popular today. Do you see them as having personalities or are they just objects of beauty? Using the pears a sbackground was distracting but did give one a true perspective of how small they are individually.

Ben -
I saw your second and fifth photographs (coincidentally both are outside) the most intriguing as they place your matrioshka set in an environment unfamiliar to them. I think if you continued the set of photos, perhaps not always keeping them grouped in such a linear fashion, and working with different kinds of lighting and angles, this could be an excellent photo project. Good start.
A few questions - why did you choose to constantly group them together? Why were all the pictures from approximately the same camera-to-subject distance? Were all these choices deliberate?
