I was regretting (as I do, oh, every day) my failure to take the picture of Katie West that I wanted to take when she was so close by, and I realized something: she could take the picture herself, with her camera, and her window, and her sunlight (what I wanted to do, what I so often do, is not special), which got me thinking: would anyone be interested in a (very low demand— maybe once every other week or something) highly-specific guest-directed self-portrait collaboration? In other words: to start, I would give crazy-specific direction for a self portrait. Anyone who wants to participate takes the described self-portrait and submits it. In a week or two, the next guest-director gives their directive, and we all submit a self-portrait following their direction. I would also be down for swapping pictures for guest-editing, but that bothers lots of people, so maybe that’s a whole different proposition… So, everyone who wants to participate would also take a turn directing… ?
UPDATE: this did actually happen (is actually happening):
GuestDirectedSelf for everything (so far), or here for the first “direction”.
