Shoot London Experience

This Saturday I had a chance to take part in something really wonderful. ShootExperience.com had arranged a Shoot London Experience day, where some 500 of us had to go out with random phrases from a particular story (which we did not know of), take pictures that we thought matched those phrases, come back, and put together into a proper story.

I have to say it was quite an experience. And even better, it will be on display at HOST gallery at London for 4 days, all of our photos. My group (of four) contributed to 5 of the 500 odd photos that formed the story.

We all got together at 12ish at Tate Modern, where we were given our phrases and had to rush back by 3. Thanks to Apples, the organizers had to face some technical issues and the process took an hour or so longer than expected. However, it still was a great laugh and the end results were absolutely amazing. And yes, there were balloons!!!

You can have a look at the videos, the pictures, and the story at the following links…
