The New Year’s almost here! You know what that means: resolutions. Time to tackle all of those photo troubles you had this past year.
Instead, try these three time-travelling projects! The Film Negative Time Capsule, Recreate a Photo, and the Reverse 365 will help you look back on years past and look forward on the year ahead! Photo Projects for the New Year! p.s. Wanna be our friend? Check the box, yes or no. Why it’s cool:
One of the best parts of photography is looking back on where you’ve been and seeing how you’ve improved. These ideas will give you a helping hand with just that. Film Negative Time Capsule: It’s like a mini time machine, and you won’t even have to worry about those pesky time travel paradoxes. Just slip your negatives inside and let them hang out with their friends for a year or however long you want. Once that’s up, crack it open and see what you’ve been missing! Recreate a Photo: We swear we aren’t up to no good with all of this time travel business. Take that photo that your mom loves to embarrass you with in front of your girlfriend/boyfriend and recreate it now that you’re older! Or, plan to go back to the same spot with friends years later and snap the same photo. Reverse 365 Project: The 365 Project is a slick way to improve your photography while documenting a year in your life. It can get a little bit daunting, though. This spin on the classic lets you pull photos from your archive that you aren’t currently using and incorporate them into your new 365! 1. The Film Negative Time Capsule:
It’s simple, each time you develop a roll of film, snip of a few frames from the negatives before scanning/enlarging and stow them away in the time capsule box. A year later, or as long as your willpower lasts, open the box and look at all of the memories! It’s like a mini time machine, all without witnessing your dad’s 70′s moustache in person. Ingredients:
STEP 1: Cut a slot in the box
Step 2: Decoration Time!
That’s it! The longer you wait and the more negatives you add, the sweeter the reward! But I don’t Shoot Film!
2. Recreate a Photo in the New Year:
Dear Photograph:“A picture of a picture, from the past, in the present.” Sounds confusing, looks like awesomeness. The idea behind Dear Photograph is to incorporate an old photo with the same setting years later. Hold the photo at arms length so that the scene matches, and snap the picture! “BACK TO THE FUTURE 2 2011″ If you were to recreate that childhood photo that your mom loves to embarrass you with in front of all of your friends, this is what it would look like. Irina Werning’s photo project recreates old photos with results that are stunning faithful to the original. 3. The Reverse 365:
Pete Labrozzi created a new way to complete the 365 Project. Instead of taking a picture every day for the next year, Pete is using photos he’s taken from previous years. In the smartphone age, our pictures barely last a hot minute. With this project, you can pull them out of the darkness and incorporate them into your future 365. Some benefits according to Pete:
