I choose to do the assignment Caught in Mid Action from the visual assignment bank.  This assignment is worth 2 stars and I thought it was so much fun!

The assigment was to take a picture of something in mid action and make it appear different than it normally would.  I took a picture of my boyfriend jumping mid-air and after a couple of shots, we looked back at the pictures and saw that he actually looked like he was levitating!  Do you agree?

This assignment actually started as pure fun.  I knew that I had to capture something in mid action so we started making games about who could jump the highest and even started making kicks while jumping on the deck.  Like all of the other assignments for this class, this didn’t feel like an assignment.  It started out with two people being goofy, and having a camera around (or in my case, my handy-dandy iPhone.

As a result of this assignment I ended up with tons of pictures on my phone with mid jumps (some falls, ouch!), and tons of laughter.

To do this assignment you need:
- a person: preferably a goofy friend/family member/stranger-danger
-a camera
-open space.

Steps:
first: Convince your goofy friend to do silly jumps, or runs, or anything that involves in motion with you.
second: Go outside to the open space  and take you’re camera with you ( a camera phone will do the job as well)
third: Be goofy and have fun!
p.s. – Don’t forget to upload to flickr so you’re able to embed your images to your blog!

The most important things about ds106 to me is forgetting that things are actually assignments and think about it as having opportunities to go outside, have fun, exploring, being silly AND still knowing that I’m getting my work done.
