Photograph one thing until you have the whole set

“It feels like a pointless errand for the first hour. Then you cannot stop seeing the thing you chose.”

The Recipe

  1. Before you leave, pick one small thing the city is full of and you have stopped seeing (postboxes, carved date-stones, hand-painted signs, drinking fountains) and commit to it for the day.
  2. Start at your own front door and photograph the first one you pass.
  3. Work outward on foot and shoot every one you find, not the good ones.
  4. Cross into a district you never walk through and keep counting.
  5. Stop for lunch only once you have twenty.
  6. Go back for the one you walked past because you assumed you would find better.
  7. When the light goes, stop, and cut the day down to the ten you would keep.
  8. Count how many you found in a single day.
