12×12 Photo Marathon

When I was watching the tutorials for using WordPress, the Lynda.com instructor was showing how to insert a Youtube video. He used a video he said that he himself was in. So I looked into it, and he ended up being the creator of the Vancouver 12 X 12 Photo Marathon Contest. The contest entailed taking pictures on a Nikon film camera for 12 hours, fitting photos to 12 themes. It seemed relative to class because it involved taking pictures with a Nikon camera about a certain theme within a certain time period, like our Seeing Red project. It seemed ironic because he talked about how in order to take a good picture its about the timing, the lighting, the creativity, etc. These were all things that we talked about in class using our Nikon D-7000’s which I think overlapped by accident, but turned out to be very helpful.
