Assignment Idea

haiku it up

_cokwr: For the writing assignment, take a random Dailyshoot photograph and create a haiku using that image. Let the image inspire you to create a poetic haiku. Don't know what a haiku is? The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme., _cpzh4: Writing, _chk2m: anagahama, _ciyn3: 104, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

Tell me a story

Make ’em Laugh!

_cokwr: Find a good, brief joke in a language other than your mother tongue; if you don;t know any other languages this might be a good way to start learning. Record your voice telling the joke focusing on pronunciation and try to make it sound as natural as you can with appropriate vocal inflections. Add a (cc) music track underneath (maybe from jamendo.com) and a laugh track (soungle.com is a good source) at the end. , _cpzh4: Audio, _cre1l: http://allthingsaudio.wikispaces.com, _chk2m: Darren Kuropatwa, _ciyn3: 77, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

Google Map Trip

Stranger Portraits

_cokwr: Take a portrait of a total stranger each day for 7 days. Try to capture their image in a way that gives the viewer a deeper understanding of the person. Write a little about how you approached the person and what you learned about them. This assignment is part photography challenge but the harder part, in my opinion, is forcing yourself to interact with strangers in a fairly personal way. , _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://www.dannyst.com/shooting-portraits-of-strangers/, _chk2m: Tom, _ciyn3: 29, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:
