ONE SQUARE FOOT   WHAT LIES BENEATH

The purpose of this experiment is to observe what you might otherwise miss or walk over. Explore the unique patterns, textures, and intricacies of nature. 

1.   Make a square that is 12 x 12 inches. This can be done out of cardboard, sticks or rope. Whatever you have available.  Even an empty 12×16 frame is OK. Walk around and find an interesting place to drop the square. Or place it horizontally. Take a wide shot including your borders.  

2.   Then observe closely everything that is in that square foot. 

3.   See how many different compositions you can come up with using only the materials found within that square. 

You may move the objects out of the square to make a photo. 

Photos do not have to be shot in the square itself. But they may be.

The only rule is that you must use an object or objects from within that perimeter. Other backgrounds may be added.

 
Take 1 unedited shot of the square as you find it. Include all borders.

Create 2-5 shots of different compositions you make from elements within the square. Edits are OK.
