World Beach Project

I recently learned about this photography challenge,
the World Beach Project
which is sponsored by the
V&A Museums.

Here's the description:

The World Beach Project is a global art project open to anybody, anywhere, of any age. Building on the experience many of us have of making patterns on beaches and shorelines, this project combines the simplicity of making patterns with stones with the complexities of shape, size, colour, tone, composition, similarity and difference.

It seems like an easy project.
  1. Find a beach and take a photo of the entire area
  2. Start collecting your stones or found objects and arranging them in a design. Take some photos of the process.
  3. Take a photo of your finished artwork
  4. Post the images to the V&A website and put your beach on the map.
We've got lake and river beaches nearby. And I've got a tripod so I can take a photo of the process if I do the project alone ... or maybe I can get one of my family members to play along with me.

How many of you want to join me in this challenge?
