Weekend Project: What are you shooting?

Ever since we kicked off the building of Inkubook, I have been looking for more and more excuses to get my camera out and start shooting. After all great looking photo books start with great looking photos. The reward has been that the desire to shoot photos has gotten me out to some events that I otherwise would not have attended. In what will be a recurring feature on the Inkublog, I will suggest some opportunities to get out and capture some great shots. To kick things off though, I would love to know what you plan on photographing. Drop a note in the comments and share what your plans are for the coming weekend and the moments you hope to capture.

As for me, I plan on attending the Indiana Microbrewers Festival, because beer and hot days always make for good pictures. If you happen to live in any of the following places, here are some suggestions for what could become your next Inkubook.

• Chicago, IL – Pitchfork Music Festival – The best Indie rock show of the year.
• New York – Siren Music Festival – Stephen Malkmus, Ted Leo, and mermaids.
• San Francisco – Tour de Fat – Bikes and Beer on parade.
• Tampa – The Rays vs. The Jays – The hottest team in baseball followed by an MC Hammer concert (MC Hammer, people!)
• Atlanta – B*ATL – Three words: Civil War Reenactment
• Dallas – Rat Snakes to Rattlers: Live Texas Snakes – Features a snake scavenger hunt. Which is terrifying.
• Columbus – Ohio Strobists Meet at the House of Nightmares – Bring your camera and photograph in a haunted warehouse.
• Toronto – The Virgin Suicides Brawl! – Good old clean Roller Derby fun.
• Col Agnel, France – The site of the only Hors Catégorie (HC) climb in Sunday’s stage 15 of the Tour de France. If you are there, I envy you tremendously.

Of course, you can use any excuse to snap some great pictures for your Inkubook. Even if it is just a quaint picnic on the back porch.
