SameTime 1:04

SameTime 1:04 is a spin off from the locally popular SameTime 7:15 project. Everyday a group of four people take a picture at exactly 1:04 pm.

Being inspired is an amazing thing. Being inspired to actually do something is even better. Like what you see, how about make your own. A few VCU students choose to do that and SameTime 1:04 is the result.

I wish the project had a better space than blogger. Some web development would go a long ways from keeping it from blending into the abyss of the internet. I think the layout of the images is too spread out and keeps me from viewing weird oddities of 4 people taking a picture. The added footnote of the images also takes me away from the image. I can for the most part tell whats going on in the images and don't the extra information. For the images I am unsure of what's going on, the text ruins my imagination. I'm afraid for the sake of being slightly different it led the project to some downfalls. Aside from the layout and the added text I am happy to see the project continued by a different group of people that opens insight into a different demographic of emerging photographers.

Imitation is flattery. I believe this project will lead each person involved into finding things they like about the work and things they hate, but it will be a journey for them and the experience is invaluable. The journey is somewhat personal and I am unsure of how much the imagery interests me but I enjoy the fact that people out there are striving for more and creating something.
