Hourly Comic Exercise – Week 1 Assignment

This is the week one assignment for Collective Narrative, an hourly comic exercise.  Pick a day and then document each hour of that day in some way.

I understood this assignment to be more about noticing and process and less about producing artistic work, so I kept it simple: I took a picture every hour on the hour for an entire day, Sunday, February 3.  I set a series of alarms on my phone and wherever I was when the alarm went off, I took a picture of what I saw.  I tried not to concern myself too much with composition or get too critical about the work.  One thing I was conscious about was how fun or interesting my life would look. Unfortunately, what you see is a totally mundane Sunday.  All of the photos are taken from my point of view so I’m not in any of them. (There is one exception, a shot on the subway; it felt weird to take a picture of some random guy sitting across from me.)  I have included only the most bare-bones description for each photo.
