At Home With Lomography: Spring Cleaning

1

Spring cleaning brings to mind unearthing memories and tokens you've forgotten in a while. It also leads to discovering random knick-knacks and rejected photos you're likely to toss out. Hold that thought — you might find them useful for creating some projects at home.

DIY: Collage

Here's a list of tips that you might want to try — if you're thinking of starting a new project or if you're unsure what to do with all the physical prints in your drawer.

For One Object Challenge, you can choose an object from your home to focus on, especially if it's situated near sunlight. Some ideas: a flower vase, a favorite reading chair, a cat who frequents the daybed for a nap. Take pictures at different times of the day — the ever-changing lighting will change how you look at your subject, too. The Hockney-style Collage works two ways: it's a fun idea if you're thinking of starting a new project; or, if you have some photo prints, you can also arrange them in a collage to form a story.
