MINDFUL PHOTO PROJECT: Fantastic short talk and "art assignment" (see below) from artist Assaf Evron about how photography, which is often used to capture something quickly, can be a tool for helping us perceive things that normally escape our attention.
THE ASSIGNMENT:
1. Go to a public place that you pass daily and take a photo, not too close and not too far.
2. Download the photo to a computer and look at it for 3 full minutes (yes three! If your mind wanders, bring it gently back. If you don't notice anything, don't despair - your subconscious will come up with something later!)
3. Return to the location and take detail photos of things you noticed while looking at the original.
4. Upload your photos and description with #theartassignment.
Have fun!
