Make a photobook in a month

Make a photobook in a month.

Also on Mike's blog, a good article about something I've touched upon myself, the devaluation of useful words, in this case "ignorant". (Also about race horses and how they can't be saved.)

The devaluation of words like "ignorant" (or "liberal") comes about from a words being used as a weapon in heated political (in the widest sense) debates. After a few years of that, the word becomes so tainted with animosity that it just can't be used neutrally in mixed company anymore.

I'm not sure if you're sarcastic, but just for the heck of it, I'll assume so... :)

If you make number three "acrylics", then I could do it. My third solo exhibition (collage/drawings) was made in three weeks.

The original Little Shop of Horrors was a good film, and was shot in a weekend. I don't know how long post-production took, but I can imagine it taking less than a month.

Anyway, it's meant as an exercise, not a prescription for great work. (Though some of that sometimes appears from severe time restraints.)
