Fun-A-Day in the First State
Last month I participated in the first Fun-A-Day to take place in Delaware. The exhibition for it was this past Friday and an awesome time. I did a polaroid a day, with no real theme other than that, a polaroid from each of my days in March. Taking part in this project was pretty intense. I experienced the full gamut of emotions, from completely hating what I was doing to feeling so pumped by certain shots I never would have bothered to take had I not forced myself to complete what I started. There was plenty of insecurity to show polaroids I would have edited out of the show if I could. It goes against so much of what I have learned not to edit a project down; the weaker images bring down the stronger ones. But this is about the progression, the commitment to creating everyday, even though I am not inspired everyday. Plus, if I could have edited, I probably would have ended up with something like 3 polaroids. I can be a bit critical of my own work... But that was part of the project for me; forcing myself to keep going even when I hated everything I was making and letting go of the fact that my mistakes were going to be seen by anyone who took the time to check out the show. In the end, I am glad I pushed through and let go, and I wish we had more than one night to show off our month committed to art making. So why not post my mistakes for more people to get to see?
