Blog Review: 500 Days of Six Shooters

     So this blog from Lenscratch was posted on September 24, 2013. The name of the post was 500 Days of Six Shooters.

     This is the first picture on the page. Upon scrolling down though, the pictures slowly evolve. At first there seemed to be no theme or central concept; however I slowly began to notice a trend. The series, done as a collaboration between six acquaintances (hence Six Shooters), follows one rule. The first picture in the series could have been anything the first person wanted to shoot. But the second one had to have some kind of connection to the first, and the third to the second, and fourth to the third, and so on and so on. This process idea of relation tells a story. It shows how we can associate seemingly unrelated ideas into the same category. 
     I could go on and on trying to convey the idea and process of this series, but it is definitely much easier to to see it for yourself. To see the relation from picture to picture and to follow the narrative told by the six different points of view is amazing. Ultimately, I find this work very successful, as well as unique and inspiring.
