#11FMB – The exhibition

Last night I headed over to see the Berlin Fotomarathon’s exhibition.

Although I could have cheated and looked at the chart indicating where the my photos were displayed, I opted to just wander and be surprised.

It was really excellent seeing all of the creative genius on display. Clearly I am not an amateur: I’m a novice. Many people were able to figure out how to incorporate the sense of “music is in the air” into their photos – whether it was having headphones in each photo or whether it was having records on display.

That’s not to say I wasn’t the only person who gave up on trying to figure out how to incorporate music into their photos. I don’t grok music and I had never heard any of the songs we were set to photograph.

My favorite set of photos was number 24 – I should have written down the persons name – which took a map of Berlin and photographed all 24 photos on the map, finding bits and pieces that were appropriate for each song title – but didn’t clearly incorporate music in any fashion. Actually only 23 photographs were of Berlin’s map—for the song “Change of Scenery”, a map of London was used.

Happily I found my photos on display :it was fun seeing them on the wall. I should get them in the mail in a week or so, and then I will decide exactly what to do with my 3-meter long strip of photos: to frame or not to frame, and where to hang?

My photos are the ones running through my head.

These are fun things to think about.

And I still want to do other photomarathons…

Life. Is. Good.
