“Over the past year, we’ve done a lot of head scratching and chin-in-hand pondering, thinking of ways to get creative with photography. This little book is the result of our efforts.”

How to use this guide:

• Big Ideas: The titles at the top of a page will di- rect you to the big ideas in the book.
• Variations: Variations provide a twist on the main idea. Look for the smaller “variation” heading below a big idea. Like the big ideas, they’ll be in red or white.
• Inspirational Explorers: Inspirational explorers are photog- raphers whose work helps illustrate a particular big idea or variation. Look for the blue boxes with the white “inspirational explorers” titles, then follow the links to get inspired.
• Field Trip: Field trips direct you to particular spaces (like galleries or libraries) to help get your creative juices flowing. Look for the yellow, tent icon and the green “field Trip” title.

This book has some navigation features designed to make it easier for you to find the information you’re looking for. You’ll also find that the Table of Contents is fully linked, and is a great way to navigate around the book.

“You’ll find yourself playing dress-up, destroying (disposable) cameras, taking field trips that have you seeing art and photography in new ways, modifying light with colour and texture, collecting photos of crazy stuff like puddles and hair colours, creating physical stuff from your images, and way, way more. All in the name of taking your photography to new heights!” -Rob & Lauren Lim
