Project 47.

Beginning today, now, I am going to take one photo a day and post it on Flickr, for the next 47 days. As those of you who know me on flickr know, I began a project last May, of shooting abstract-minimal photos and posting only those that I think are the best. This project, I hope, can nest within the earlier project. Minimal-abstract (or a-m), one every day.
Now, here’s the small twist in the concept. I want you, all of you, or some of you many times, to tell me what subject to shoot. As far as possible, I will shoot the subject you want me to shoot, in the best way that fits my aesthetic. I will post it on Flickr, and link to it on SelAm and twitter, and link to your blog/flickr/twitter/email id.
Works? Ideas please.

Suraj: Thanks. Anything more specific? Like, perhaps, architecture of red doors or something like that…

KA: Abstract nuns?

Abstract Nuns would be a splendid idea, as also Abstract Dunce. Wouldn’t that be singular?

brit things you recognize from having read Enid Blyton’s etc. and things you expect people like us
(EB readers but never been to England) to be familiar with.

You. In an abstract way, so when someone who knows you looks at the pic says “Hey, that’s Chandroo!” And those who don’t know you, ask “Who is this?” instead of “What is this?”
