Love is Greater Than …Life through a lens of love and hope

It started out as a bad idea.

While I was in Portland for the first time with Brent and staying with Brian and Jenni Clayville, I read a blog post by Chase Jarvis about how the best camera you had was the one that was with you. In that same post, he said that we as photographers need to challenge ourselves every once in a while, and one of the things he listed was setting a number, and going out and taking that many pictures that day, regardless of whatever gear you had on you. So I posed the challenge to Brent, Jenni and myself that day… but at the time, I mistakenly thought that #100pic challenge would be more fun. Yeah, it wasn’t.

So the next time, we made it #50pic, and it went GREAT. Minus of course the fact that there was a mass twitter un-following that day for everyone who participated. If I counted correctly, we had roughly 25 people participating in the first #50pic challenge… I’d love to see that number go up this time around.

We’re doing it again! This Friday, January 15th.

So here are the rules if you don’t remember or if you’re new…

• It doesn’t matter what you take the picture with. I will most likely take all mine with my iPhone, and only process them using iPhone app image editors (TiltShift, BestCam, CameraBag, Pano, and PS Mobile are my favorites)
• Take fifty pictures. It honestly doesn’t matter of what. They don’t have to be perfect… if they tell a story, even better.
• Post them. If you want to risk suffering the wrath of flaky twitter followers un-following you, feel free to post all fifty as you take them. Otherwise, post a few throughout the day (Last time I posted 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 as they happened), and then make a blog post or a gallery on Flickr/Facebook/whatever later with all of them and link to it on your twitter account so we can all check it out.
• Try and add the hashtag #50pic to your twitter updates throughout the day. That way we can easily keep track of people participating.
• Have fun!

So who’s in?!
