Photographic Threads

Over the course of two and a half months, the students of Julia Weber's Color Photography class worked collaboratively on a project titled Photographic Threads. The idea behind this project was to create a thread of images that started with William Eggleston's iconic photograph Tricycle. The first student had three days to take a picture that was inspired by Eggleston's image. That student would then send it to a second student who was given the task of taking a photograph inspired by the preceding image. This thread continued until each person in the class had taken a picture. Whether it was color, object, atmosphere, or mood, the connection between the images could be concrete or abstract.
