Activities to do:
Photograph the street where you live. What do you notice? How can you represent why you know and see about your street in a series of unusual photographs? Exhibit your pictures somewhere in the street so that your neighbours can see them.
Interview the oldest person you know. Take a photographic portrait of them. Make sure you give them a copy of the picture.
Find a photograph of you as a child. Re-stage the picture with you the age the age you are now. Try to copy the pose, the setting, the props, the clothes as closely as possible.
Visit a new location, somewhere you’ve never been before. Take photographs of the journey there and back.
Take a series of photographs without looking through the viewfinder or screen of your device. Don’t cheat!
Make an Instagram feed featuring your photographs, making sure to post only one picture per day.
