Caffeine for the Creative Mind. My photo project
I saw this book "Caffeine for the Creative Mind: 250 Exercises to Wake Up Your Brain" in the pile that my wife got from the Library, "Cool, what's this one all about", I said as I totally judged the book by its cover. She went on to describe one of the exercises. It went something like this. Walk around your house and take 20 pictures of things that make a circle and make sure that circle is about the same size in every picture.

1. Cup of orange juice in a red plastic cub
2. Small glass milk jug
3. Stained Glass window
4. Simon Pierce bowl
5. Top corner of a antique bookshelf in the living room.
6. Fake flower

9. Northeastern emblem
10. Boston University emblem
11. Hose/Floor toggle on the vacuum

I have an really creative exercise for you: Make 20 photographs in macroscopic camera mode (=very close objects), so that it’s very hard to impossible to identify the objects.
