In this assignment you’ll be looking for opportunities to illustrate the number three. This assignment is designed to enhance your powers of observation. With a little awareness and a little close cropping you should be able to find numerous — a triptych perhaps — suitable subjects within your immediate neighbourhood.
Three cans a-spraying, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Three kakashi or scarecrows presiding over a field in Nara Prefecture, Japan.
Three temporary totems. Kent Avery’s granite installations rise and fall with the tides in Vancouver’s Stanley Park through much of the summer.
I call this one “Everyman Has His Price”. Taken in the shop window of a sad little haberdasher’s many years ago on Vancouver’s East Hastings Street with an inferior quality slide film, this shot could clearly use a rescan.
