Photo marathon: Heaven in Ordinary
A photomarathon is a full day of taking photographs on particular topics. The emphasis is on fun and creativity, and anybody can participate – all you need is a digital camera.
On Nov 3rd, we’ll meet at Bryanston Bible Church at 8:30am where we’ll have a short introduction to the theme, “Heaven in Ordinary.” Heaven can be thought of as an “out there” concept but we want to explore (through photographs) how heaven can break into the daily ordinariness of life in Jozi. There will be 12 topics (given out 4 at a time, at 9am, 1pm and 5pm) for the day and although you can shoot as many pics as you want under each topic, you can only submit a single entry – so at the end of the day you’ll hand in 12 photographs.
The cost is R50 to enter and we’ll exhibit the photos the week afterwards at Bryanston Bible Church. We’ll also find some place to hang out together after all photos have been handed in.
The above is a description I posted on the “Heaven in Ordinary: A Photo Marathon” group on Facebook (apologies if you haven’t succumbed yet!). Some of the inspiration is from the other 2 photo marathons run in SA so far and some of it is from a talk by Don Miller and John MacMurray called “Where photography and theology intersect.”.
