The best thing about the Daily Shoot assignment was that it forced me to take photos and therefore think about what I see in more photographic terms.
It was kind of like when I started in Twitter. I began thinking in 140-character spurts. Here everything I saw I started to frame in my mind. Would this make a good shot?
Here are some of the images my classmates made that I really liked:

| by Cris Crissman, because of its composition | by Ashley Buske because it was complex | by Jabiz Raisdana because it occurred to me we could photograph anyone’s books and learn a lot about them |
For mine, the most interesting thing I discovered was that I had a consistency to my photography, sort of a late 1970s aesthetic.
Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.
I didn’t realize that elements like wood and space and rectangularity (is that a word?) were so important to me when I frame a photo for public presentation.
But I’m not getting out the macrame.
Thanks Lisa for mentioning this. I agree we can learn a lot about people by the books we share, the music we share. All of these little pieces when placed together form identity or at lest shards of it. This connection was my intention and it always feels great when the intention is met.
