Shared Creation Projects

Often when I mention projects it sounds as if something has been heavily planned. Maybe a little over thought and a little too aware of itself.

This really does not have to be the case.

Last week The Cabarazzi hit the news with an exhibition of photographs hosted in North London. The pictures which are really quite stunning were all taken with a simple point and shoot camera from a London Cab. It sounds like a cool idea. Yet it started when Cabbie Dominic Shannon started carrying a (disposable) camera as a precautionary measure to collect insurance evidence in case of an accident. He realised how good London looks and started to take photographs. The disposable camera became digital and the pictures are now on display.

This is a case of one idea getting caught up in enthusiasm and turning into something special.

It proves that all you need is an idea, some patience and not very expensive equipment to produce good art. To me the message is - just get on with things and see what happens.
