Every week, I see many WordPress photographers take part in The Daily Post‘s Weekly Photo Challenge. The challenge is to present an image that captures the given word, idea, concept…

I feel a bit ambivalent about a challenge framed in this way. It certainly develops one’s skills as a photographer—certainly the skills that a professional photographer needs when handed an assignment. On the other hand, it’s almost the opposite of Johna’s project of developing the faculty of pure seeing, seeing whatever is at hand…

Having said that, this week’s Photo Challenge is Ready.

And I do have the perfect “Ready” shot! It involves, of course, a kayak.

This was the launch of a perfect trip…

Update February 8, 2012: It’s very interesting to see how other photographers have interpreted “Ready”. My interpretation is perhaps not all that different from this one :-) But it is quite different from this one…
