Photograph a Significant Outfit

There is an artist by the name of Miranda July whose work I adore. She is an author, performance artist, conceptual artist, actor, director, and all around amazing. She has a website, Learning to Love You More, which provided 'assignments' for the public to complete. People would then submit their completed work for possible inclusion on the website. No longer active, it is still a fantastic site. I am asking you to complete Assignment #55: Photograph a Significant Outfit. There are lots of examples there. This is due on Monday as a RAW file. You will have time to edit it and post it to Flickr at the beginning of class. You must include the significance of the outfit as a caption on Flickr. I suggest that you write that ahead of time.

This assignment serves to introduce you to the powerful combination of text and image. Additionally, I want you to explore photography in a different context. Not all images have to look good to be good.

If you want to read a really excellent collection of short, quirky stories, then I encourage you to read Miranda July's book No One Belongs Here More Than You. She has also written and directed two films.
