Get excited!!

The Sunglasses Game- Exhumed

2013 sunglasses

For the past two summers, The Sunglasses Game fell through, mostly because I(Tia), took the sunglasses to Europe, and never passed them on. Luckily, Whitney is letting me redeem myself and in turn, revive the game.

Here is the T.

How it works: 
1. You receive the sunglasses. 
2. Get creative! Take photos with the sunglasses, (with yourself, your significant other(s), children, friends, and/or family).

3. Instagram your images with #thesunglassesgame. 
4. Email your photos to thesunglassesgame@gmail.com to get them on the blog.
5. Then, Pass them off to the next person.

The goal is to get as creative as possible! The person who get the most likes on Instagram, and the person who is voted most creative, WINS a pair of the sunglasses. :)

 

Wanna know WHY?

To me, this project/game is important because it encourages others to do what I love. I love to photograph, and one thing that comes with being a "photographer" or any artist is creativity. You get an assignment or inspiration then you have to resolve it in a way that is "different" or unique. So in this instance the "assignment" is sunglasses. Creatively photograph them, document their travels, have fun, and share your work. The possibilities are endless! "Look around you, Art is everywhere."

Happy Shooting!

2011

In order to attempt to have The Sunglasses Game go more throughout the summer and less into winter, I'm thinking we'll start a little earlier this year.

I have just ordered this year's glasses, so hopefully they look as cool in real life as they do in the picture.

If you want to play,

send your address to thesunglassesgame@gmail.com.

I'm also experimenting with an idea so that hopefully the glasses will make it to everyone...

I'll be sending out multiple pairs of the same glasses. Some packages will have different instructions.

Group One will be done the same way as in years past: send them to whoever you want and email me who you sent them to with the photos.

Group Two will have a schedule with a deadline for you to mail the glasses to the next person. We will see which method works better.

There may or may not be a third group with other ideas (Rachel, are you going to be in Spain all summer? We have to powwow about an idea I have).

So, in addition to your address, please send me good times for you to get the glasses (i.e. right before an awesome trip, right around a significant event, or bad times like NOT July since I'll be gone that month or NOT August because we're moving). Also, let me know if you prefer group one or two or you don't care.

The general rules are the same...

SUMMARY:

We're playing the sunglasses game - you take a photo of yourself/your friends and lovers wearing the sunglasses and we make a giant collection.

IF YOU WANT TO PLAY, EMAIL thesunglassesgame@gmail.com WITH THE FOLLOWING INFO:

1 | Your name and address

2 | Times to send or not to send you the glasses

3 | If you prefer group one or two (optional)

introducing the sunglasses for 2010.
they look like this:(minus those sideburns)

they have all my favorite qualities: color, personality, and that reflective holographic lens that allows you to see your reflection.

they have begun their journey. hopefully they'll get to you soon!
