i’d shoot something random at first, just to try out the camera. perhaps my dad.

I’d take a shot of one of the gorgeous tree-tunnel streets here in Vancouver.. it’s gonna be epic when all the leaves start getting colourful!

Of the HERMITAGE of the CRATER of SANTA MARGARITA

I’d take a shot of the first flush of Autumn colour on the trees of Hackney Marshes in east London, with the Olympic site rising in the background.

Oh man, I really want to take some pictures of one of my large scale chalk murals. It would look extra gnarly in the wide angle lens! Which would also come in handy because they can get basket ball court sized.

Right around 7:30 pm when the sun ignites the tips of the trees. Yeah.

The first picture would undoubtedly be of my chihuahua/basenji mutt getting some mad air — the dude can jump five times his height. I can’t think of a better way to capture the miniaturized superhero than through a wide-angle lens clinging to a tiny camera.

Realistically: Probably something stupid around my house while I was figuring it out.

The inside of a hardcore moshpit

uh! supercute!
well, the very first pic I’d take would be the one of a hand smashing a tomato. juicy.

how fun! finally a camera i can fit in my shirt/pants while dancin!!

I’d use this to take a milli photos of my newborn baby girl.

a picture of the wall in my bedroom… that normally what i do with a new camera :p

I would take a photograph of my 90 year old grandmother on it and show her how something so small can create something so important to me.

Random shots of strangers in the subway. Taking pictures in the subway is illegal where I live, but they’d never catch me if I use this little fellow.

I’d take a photo of some Micro Machines.

I woul’d make photos from the floor, for everything to seem huge. As taken by an ant
=)

I would photograph the cute guy who sold me my mac, if I put up with the nerves to ask him out. To confirm my act of bravery. Every experience is a step towards happiness.

First photo: The toothless grin of Paul, the homeless guy who chills behind Safeway.

With that wide angle lens, I’d shoot the city from a high angle.

The secret garden in our local woods that an elderly man once told us about. Seven years have gone by without a glimpse of it. Perhaps it’ll be our lucky day.

A close up of my elbows soft skin.

where do you live? I will take a photo of you eating tacos at my 1st annual “I Won This Camera, Celebratory Dinner.”

creepy.
fun.
adventure.

First picture would be a picture of the camera

I would photograph the brood of pygmy owls that are living 150′ up in a fir tree next to my house….just got up there to see the nest close up yesterday (via bow n’ arrow, fishing line, rope, and ascenders!) and would love a little camera to take up in the trees with me.

A card of well defined dimensions, well placed and pleasantly arranged, with these words written upon it: being a picture, the first.

I’d begin by using it to spy on tiny animals, insects and the goings on amongst the blades of grass in my garden. So I could feel like a giant

A very cute, very tiny camera would be very useful in the endeavour to get sneaky photo bomb shots. I would get as many awkward and hilariously incriminating ‘photo evidence!’ pics during a vintage ‘fancy pants’ party. You know, the under the table shot of someone rubbing their ankle up against someone elses, while slipping them a briefcase full of….

So much fun to be had with this!

I would photograph my ‘soon to be’ newest & tiniest family member with my then newest & tiniest camera ｡◕ ‿ ◕｡

forced perspective shot of my redwood bonsai

a white castle mini slider.

The first photograph I took it was with an uncle’s cammera. Maybe it was a Yashika, I don’t remember very well, but, I was playing to be the photographer with my sister, I was 9 years old and she was 12. We were at the “Cocha” lagoone (Pasto, Colombia. It’s the biggest lagoon in my country), we were taking a trip in the launch (actually it’s a very small boat)and the lagoon looked so dark, deep and blue. The day was cold and with a lot of wind. My sister had a beutiful blonde long and straight hair, and the wind moved it all the ways and she looked so pretty, also with the sun shining straight on her face… so I took the photo. Two years later when I decided that I wanted to be a “painter”, I drawed the photo. Now I’m 25 years old. Unfortunately we lost the picture, and we only left the simple drawing, but now that you ask, I can remember, I can see it in my mind, and I can see her, and she looks gorgeous, yellow and blue.

(Pd: Excuse my english. )

Inside of the abandoned house near my studio!

Probably something cute and random to test the camera.

Nothing, since I never win

Well, a Camera this size will spend its whole life being small. Which is tough for this poor thing Jeff. If some people here get it, It will probably never have the confidence to ask out that big sexy DSLR. I refuse to treat it differently and use it only to take small photos, that’s just insulting!

Since it has no sense of it’s own scale (yet), I will make sure that the first photo i take, will be a portrait of the camera itself (which i will name “Gizmo”). With one very important stipulation:
I’ll… “enhance” it’s scale, much like Peter Jackson did in Lord Of The Rings using forced perspective and maybe a scaled set. It’ll be tricky, but in the end, worth it, since “Gizmo” will think of itself no different then any other camera and take photos and perform in the same manner.

In the end, “Gizmo” will lead a happy life by my side. That is, until the day it finds out that it’s adopted, but i’ll deal with that when it happens.

first thing i would shoot with this camera would be something minute, like the gizmon..maybe my watchface or a bug..

The first photo I´d take would be a moment with happiness. that is what photo should be, mark the moment of happiness, leave that in our memory, kind of a environment full with feeling of happiness. and when we look that foot, that would take us feel the same way as the people in the photo feels like. So that is the first photo i like to shoot, to mark!

aliens shadowboxing.

with this size, finally i’ll find a camera that will enable me to take pictures with POV inside of models and prototypes, such as sculptural casts, architectural models, or any scale models, in order to communicate these ideas better to the viewer.

probably the first cool thing i’ll se on the road.
cause i’ll take it everywhere i go

some little curiosities normally no one recognizes

something like this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/maxhase/5038769754/in/photostream

The first image I would take is at this location.

19.01019,-112.077026

I am going on a trip to a series of Islands off of Mexico in November. One of the Islands is a prison colony and I can’t be caught by the Mexican Navy with any photos of it. So I need the small camera.
Please help me stay out of Mexican Prison.
Thanks

I would shoot the dazzling and hypnotic lights of Tokyo city when i make the move there in 3 months time.

I’d probably shoot something I wasn’t supposed to take photos of. That thing is so tiny you could hide it anywhere!

Just kidding, I would probably shoot from within the masses of people moving through midtown manhattan on their way home from work on a rainy evening. Car lights reflecting off water droplets, umbrellas and businessmen in trench coats. I could palm that thing so it wouldn’t even get wet!

Well, it will be sent in the mail, so I’ll be at home when I get the box. Most likely I’ll walk into my bedroom, and open the box. I’ll be sitting on my bed, when it’s first in my hands. My first picture will most likely then be of my pillows. But then again if my girlfriend is in my bed, maybe it will be boobs. The only way to find out is if I win!

first photo would probably be of a friend. hopefully on a rooftop. hopefully drinking wine.
yup. that sounds good!

WOW, what a gizmo.

Have just adopted a praying mantis. I know she is a she and I think she is pregnant.
My first picture would be of her eating a cricket of some kind.

I’d put it in a view camera and use the self-timer to shoot a landscape on the ground glass— from the inside.

I would take many, many candid photos.

My first shot would be portraits with dramatic lighting, probably of my roommate. I love this camera!

I would document my little feet and all the places they go every 30 minutes for my uni photography project, and this way being so compact i could be completely stealth.

The first photo i’d shoot? Hell I don’t know…I take photos in more of spur of moment things. Especially with this tiny camera I would most likely take it with me everywhere. But what I would like to capture would probably be some complete interesting stranger in public. In downtown Toronto most likely.

wow… where to start. I’ll jump in my car, and drive around aimlessly to try and find an inspirational shot. Then I’ll remember that I live in Atlanta, and that anything cool has already been documented, so I’ll pull over at Felini’s for a slice of pizza. Then I’ll pull out my sketchbook and jot down all the things I <3 to see in photographs, for example: sunsets, trees, water, portraits, beautiful blue eyes, etc. Then I'll decide to make a portrait, because nothing is more beautiful then capturing an unexpecting moment in someone's life when they don't realize you're pointing the camera at them. Then i'll go down my friend list and realize that after my boyfriend of 5 years broke up with me I have no more friends… so I'm back at square one. :/ hmmm…. then I'll jump back into my car, leaving sad and disappointed in myself. "But wait" I ponder, "i'm a great and talented person. I deserve so much better, and I don't need ANY MAN in my life to realize that. YEAH!" With my big smile, I'll rejoice inside, as I pull back into my driveway, and walk into my apartment. I open the door, and there to always greet me is my little baby cat Davey. "Yes!" I thought, the only man I need in my life, which just happens to be the cutest, most lovable man too! Then it becomes clear… I only need Davey! plus, Davey has one of the qualities on my list, blue eyes. "SCORE" With my heart racing in excitement, I'd then grab my new Gizmon Half-D, patiently waiting for the right moment when Davey looks right into the lens with his deep blue eyes. Then I realize that nobody cares for just another photo with a cat, so I sit back down and think. What could make Davey even more special. I grab my sketchbook and start jotting down all the qualities of Davey, like his white coat, his dark tail, his big ears…. "WAIT, that's it", I rejoice. Davey looks just like FOLKOR from the movie, "Never Ending Story" and I'll set up a scene of the boy Bastian riding on Davey's back. So I run to my sewing machine and create a little boy to look like Bastian. I then make him sit on Davey's back. Then I'll run to my blue room and find a high spot that Davey can safely jump off of. I'll wait patiently and take the perfect photo of him leaping through the air. Yep… perfect photo.

I would shoot a series of my 14 month daughter in her favorite past-time hurling her toys as far as her little arms allow…it would be full of abominable cuteness and colorful streaks of speed

I’d totally take to the streets for some street photography. Shooting from the hip with this baby would be sweet!

First photo will be of my friends baby when it comes out this month. It will be the first photo to document its amazing start to life!

That camera is the perfect size to sneak into the red-light district here in Daegu, South Korea. In my first shot I would try to capture the unimaginable shock and curiosity of the first time seeing a street where all the store fronts are literally lined with women for men to window-shop, under neon light in strange colored rooms the women all dressed up and sitting around looking utterly bored.

i would take a wide angle pic of my friends throwing crown fried chicken at the windshield of a cop cruiser zoomin through a red light, those dickheads

I’ve recently moved to Halifax, NS and am an avid photographer but sold my 35mm to a friend who I knew very well and was moving to Japan. As well, I don’t own a digital camera, as funny as that sounds, but have preferred to stick to film for a while. This digital camera would be perfect to start with I think and the first thing I would shoot would be the backyard open air restaurants that my room mates Katie & Al have been hosting over the summer months, and now I’m lucky enough to enjoy a couple more in the fall before it get’s real chilly. Al’s a cook and he prefers to use only a wood fire to cook on. It would be great to use the wide-angle lens on that lovely little camera to capture all the activity and fall harvest celebration taking place.

My first picture would be of all the guys I work with, and their massive bierds that are growing due to all these crazy Over Time hours we’re all pullig in atm, as the projetc we’re all on is coming to the end.

I think I took my first foto from my family, i think it was birthday party

the first photo would be my city from my bicycle. I would strap the camera to the bike and take photos as I flew around the city at high speed. It would be a whole series… perhaps even a book via my Nouveau Nostalgia imprint.

i would take a small photo of something small with this small camera.

Probably by best friend popping a sweet wheelie.

autumn leaves. becoz’ where I come from there’s no autumn only all-year summer, so I’d have to send all the lovely autumn leave pictures back home to my friends who’ve never known autumn before.

I’d probaby shoot my neurtoic Photography teacher from highschool, she was fucked.

I would snap a picture of my small dog molly sleeping on her back in my parents queen size bed.

Definitely have to be a picture of some huskies in the snow at my local ski resort

If I recieved this camera the first thing I would do is go straight up to the top of the Roppongi Hills building in Tokyo and take a nice sunset, long exposure shot. I’d also take some sillhouette shots with the Tokyo Tower hidden in the landscape.

first shot i’d take would be with the camera hiding in my beard and facing a mirror.

I would take a picture of the biggest thing I could find.

the first picture i would take is most likely going to be my mini domo doll propped up against my window.

i would do a portrait of my amazing great grandma, who just recently turned 98

the first picture would be a happy happy self portrait for winning an awesome little camera! the next shot would be my boooooom! face

I would take a picture of St. Teresa Catholic Cemetery sign before work at 7am.

IF I GOT THE CAMERA, I WOULD TAKE A TRAIN THAT I HAD NEVER TAKEN BEFORE FROM MANHATTAN TO A PLACE I HAD NEVER BEEN BEFORE LIKE CONNECTICUT OR JERSEY AND TAKE A PICTURE OF THE STRANGEST ITEM I CAN FIND AT THE NON-CHAIN CONVENIENCE STORE NEAREST TO THE TRAIN.

My first photo would turn out black. Caught up in the excitement of owning this beautiful new camera, I would undoubtably forget to take off the lens cap.

i will take a picture of my penis and then print it as a giveaway!!

The first picture I would of taken would of been of this twirling mass of white I saw earlier in the week, from a distance it looked like snow but its far to warm, it continued to swirl and twirl and dancing in the wind transforming from one shape to another. It wasn’t in till a few feet away did I realise it was from a dead bird hit by a car the initial beauty was misplaced but defiantly not lost the pure mass of white was completely out of proportion to the bird. This sadly all went by as I own no camera with out being captured.

So AWESOME! I would love to take my first photos with this at the cliffs on the ocean in Manchester (Massachusetts).

OMG! This camera’s so cute . I’d photograph the end results of the shed at the back of my house that I’m currently trying to make into an Art studio/Lounge. It’s all cluttered with…well…shed things and I’d love to clear it out before it starts to get too cold; then finally, when I finish decorating it, I’d paint a canvas and with this camera, take my first shot of my canvas and the shed in the background. Now, whether I win this or not, I’ll still be happy because the future is BRIGHT *camera flash*

I will take a picture of my guitar. She’s pretty old but I just had the strings replaced and the body polished with oil at the music store in town and I must say they greatly exceeded my expectations for $10, I didn’t even ask to have it polished.

cute lil’ camera! my first pic would be of my cats, naturally.

I am building a collection of photos/videos of my dog. He’s my buddy. This camera would be perfect to carry around to take more fun photos of him to add to the collection.

I would photograph my ears while looking through the viewfinder, if the lens were enough wide. (and if it had a viewfinder) : ))))))))

The eighty-something year old piece of scraped together architecture that has sheltered me a vast majority of my life, yet has stood for more than several times my age. The place where I have spent many years worth sleeping blissfully, hours worth laughing lines into my face and countless occasions cleaning paint spills out of the carpet. Sadly this place is falling apart as the tired weather boards of the porch pull away from the peachy exterior. I am leaving soon, and I’m not leaving home without taking a piece with me.

I would take a flash photo of the inside of my right nostril because i’ve truely never seen whats up there.

My first picture would be of my friend’s bearded dragon lizard trampling a miniature papier-mache recreation of a Mesozoic Era volcanic landscape, complete with smoke machine and strobe light effects. I would use these pics to make a stop-motion, set to G’N'R’s “Welcome to the Jungle”. Epic finale is the flaming tin-foil asteroid-on-a-string. No bearded dragons will be harmed in this production.

Inside a tiny box I keep something special. I would take a photo of this with my tiny camera.

I would photograph light! Any kind of light. All light! The light on your face the light coming and going. The light that was once not there.

As inspired by Charles Bukowski:

your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

@Charles Bukowski

First thing I’d shoot avec this petite camera would probably be the construction along with my apartment complex trash bin a la Eggleston. It’d be fabulous!

I’d walk down the street to Pepper’s, a philly cheese steak eatery where a lady named Aqua hangs out. She’s in her mid 60′s, has a yellow mohawk and a parrot with a matching mohawk. They’d both be stoked for the picture. Cheers Jeff!

I would take a picture of my pet rhino sal(ly) giving birth to her first child hal, he’s due sometime next month!

i would take a picture of my brand new nephew, only 5 days old

Honestly, what ever is in front of me at the time I receive it!

I would take a self portrait of myself as a samurai

I would take it to a concert and get some pictures there.

First pic would have to be album art, I’ve probably put more time into making this crazy little stained glass window (2″x2″ small, and detailed as hell), but even so I don’t think it looks quite right, a wide angle would throw it off just enough to make the art fit the style of the album perfectly.

I would go somewhere that taking photos isn’t allowed… and then take photos. It’s so small…

Now, imagine a 1.5″ LCD display. Within this rectangular confine, you’ll see a cream colored, weathered building emblazoned with the phrase, “GIANT CAMERA” in black capital letters (with the counter missing in the last A), and beneath those large, 3-D letterforms, a Carolina blue stripe sandwiched between two black strokes, that wraps itself along the sides of this building, almost as if it were a neatly tied gift. Your vantage point is clearly dead-on this one façade of the camera obscura building. It takes up two-thirds of the screen, cropping just at where the exit door on the right should be. On top and to the left, you will see blue, but these are different kinds of blue. One is the clear, blue morning sky above, and the other, cutting somewhere a little lower than halfway down the building, is the horizon line of the Pacific Ocean. That is a darker, murkier blue. Every bit of this scene is sun-drenched, for there is nothing to shade the building. However, in the bottom portion of the screen, the shadows along the concrete are harsh and angular, created by the man-made railing to the left of the building, which was more than likely placed there to protect from any accidental tumbles down the cliff side.

I’d take it to the beach, and take a picture of the sunset!

The first picture I would take would be of my other broken camera.

God.

i would like to take a picture of my friends and me in balletcostumes first

The first photo I would take would be the awesome scenery you get to see at the highest point on a roller coaster. The moment is fleeting but tranquil at the same time in a ride full of chaos. Also, I probably wouldn’t be able to do it with ease with another camera.

the view from my office, Manila Bay.

Im from Adelaide, South Australia and i’d take a photo of:
Old mate Tom frothing on the gnarliest frothmonster to ever hit the coast of the Shire. With his freshly shaped and Illustrated board he would carve up the heaviest curl you could ever imagine and then crack a couple of Wendys and froth on them even harder.
It would all be documented with this steezy little camera.
boom.

I’d go to the zoo and take an Octopus to place it upon the top of a Sacred Cow’s head like a hat and snap.

I would definitely shoot one of my friends dressed like a samurai/teletubbie or cookie.

Wow, what a score of replies!

My worms need some good documenting. My goal would be to dig a nice wide hole into my vermicompost, exposing hundreds (if not thousands) of wriggling reds and experiment with the wide angle. Aim for the kind of atmosphere of the empirial council in star wars, but with more flesh and goo, and 1000 fold greater density.

I’d take a picture of the largest thing I could find, just to see if it would fit inside the tininess of the camera!

i would totally shoot a photo of a pesron, just because i like taking figurative shots. it helps me understand the camera’s possibilities.
now how on earth will you read all these hundreds of comments? O_o

I WOULD CREATE A SMALL COLISEUM OUT OF SAND AT THE BEACH AND HAVE A ROYAL HERMIT CRAB FIGHT

I’d take a picture of my butt. It’d look like a birds eye view of the Grand Canyon, spectacular!

The first thing I would shoot, would be the left half of a split shot iced americano, with half-and-half poured into it!

hmm…the first photo, the first photo…onestly i don`t really know, but because it is so small i thing this camera is great to shoot beautiful pictures of people on the street, and i would like that a lot..and i thing i`m goona shoot it in the morning (7:30 am) whend people are sleepy and hurring and the light is perfect and romantic or of mt pants(by mistake) trying to figure out hwo it works !

Unicycling a 36″ cruiser wearing red ‘Chinese Finger-trap’ snazzy suit shredding the bass guitar on the bluffs of Devereaux in Santa Barbara, California. yeah baby.

Small cameras are for small moments. Whip it out of pocket as you travel around the world to capture that look, colour,that thing you never saw before. And of course your friends that you meet along the way.

Seeing as I would open the box at home and want to use the little beauty right away, my first shot would not be planned. It would be of something close to me at that very moment. I would not have thought about what I was doing, but I would take the picture anyway, excited, hoping for the best.

Vieneese sewers

I would open the box it came in infront of the delivery guy and ask him/her to pose infront of their delivery vehicle.

Then maybe a photo of Dot, my cat.

The first use will be to put it on a teleguide mini-helicopter, using the self timer, an taking picture of the city from the sky, from my 7′s floor terrasse. It will be a good test for the wide angle I guess.

i will take a photo of that small space in between our building and the next building and that small kitten that always stay there.

because its so small i would use it to inconspicuously take photos of all the people at vienna’s traditional cafés…they are always grumpy and don’t like to be photographed…i guess that’s part of what you call viennese charm
i love my city

Stop motion animation of a foggy forest – people mushrooming, some deers minding their business, a woodpecker… what ever happens.
And a wide-angled portrait of a chicken.

First picture I’d take is my mum with our 15 year old dog

i’d try to capture a small embarrassing moment, like an old woman picking her nose. since it’s such a small camera it’s perfect for candid photography!

I´d make a portrait of god, cause i know where he´s hiding.

myself happy as hell!

The first photo I took was with this one camera my parents bought me from Toys R Us that had the same style of the vintage thin spy cameras that took i believe 8mm. And I used the hell out of this thing and I believe my first photo was of my parents. Probably 4 or 3 when I took it. Since then I lost the camera but I still shoot film photography because that’s what I raised on.

Don’t think/plan. Just shoot!

i’m studying abroad right now in southwest china, and planning a trip to shangri-la, northwest yunnan. i’d snap on that wide angle and take a shot of the beautiful gorges against a deep blue sky that shangri-la is known for.

a self portrait showing how happy I am having won the camera!

I would photograph everything that strikes me. Because I like to not plan to take pictures, but always have a camera with me (now it’s on my phone) and take pictures of beautiful, interesting, contradictory, funny things when they stand out for me

I will take the amazed faces of the people in front of me when they will discover this beautiful mini and super super cool camera!

i´d take a picture of all my old analog cameras on a bunch enjoying their old age and break time from being abused by me.

I think the first photo i would shoot would be taking a photo of my home town Glastonbury, from the top of glastonbury Tor looking down! living in london at the moment makes me miss that place.

I would take a picture from the Domtower at dusk (highest church tower in Holland), to capture the beautiful city of Utrecht from above, while it’s still sleeping.

(I would really really really love to have it!)

i would copy everyone in this tread top to bottom, photographing their ideas! HA!

the first photo I will take with this camera is on people taking photos in the modern museum of art in stockholm. yes!

I would take a picture of this great Dia De Los Muertos graffiti I found down the street from my campus last week! It would be so awesome to win this!

i would take portrait photography of my dogs, as it is always the first thing i photograph whenever i get a new camera

I’ll use this tiny little camera as a spy camera and take a covert photo every 5-10sec for an hour and load it up as an animated gif of my spy journey. Bonza!

Oh dear! How fancy-tiny!
I’d inevitably shoot myself, for two reasons: my face is always at hand and just to see how somebody that has just handed her MA dissertation and is therefore free looks!

At first i would take a foto of an old building or a bike or something. As long as its something street-photography related. But after that i would definitely try to take a photo from an angle that i can’t take with my LX5..

I will take a photo of my Furbies talking to each other

For my first photo, I will go to the moon with Loie fuller to take a picture of her dancing her “Serpentine Dance” in zero gravity.

I will take a photo of my shoes!

In Grand Rapids, MI, right now a HUGE art event is going down called ArtPrize. Throughout the streets art is littered everywhere. People get to vote and the winner wins a quarter million. I would love to be able to capture the feelings and love that is now on the streets where pretentious large cameras can often take away from genuine moments. I would love to hold it in my hand and take it out at a moment’s notice.

I would take 4 square 1200×1200 portrait shots of my friend ellie each of the 4 shots different. One with colour noise then bimo, vivid and lastly monochrome and present them all in a single frame.

I would take a photo of Gizmo (the gremlin) fighting Godzilla.

Trees I like trees

I just moved from my beautiful home of Vancouver B.C., to go to school in Montreal. I miss the landscape of my city but I would use the camera as a vehicle for me to start exploring my new home and getting to know this city.

I would take a picture of my friends sitting on a couch really close at the low point of a party listening to “Sea Diver” by Mott the Hoople. I would hope to capture the sadness we all SEA in ourselves.
lols, ferreelz. it’s gonna happen.

my cereal!

I would take a picture of a puffin crossing the street.

The first picture I’d take you see
with my brand new little Gizmon Half-D
would be a picture of you and me
hanging out in our house in a tree.
It would be informal not special at all
except the picture would be taken in fall.
Our world would appear to most a bit small,
But in our own world we’d be having a ball.

not grapes, I just ate too many of them.

probably maybe one of the shattered 78s my friend & I smash when we have down time at WFMU & then my other friend will say “AHH please warn me when you’re going to do that! I just thought someone threw a full wine bottle through my window.” & I will take a picture of him.

I would take a photo of an exaggerated shadow of my tiny babybump on top of my favorite mountain in the cold autumn sun up here in Iceland and print it and sent it to all my friends to tell them i´m pregnant. (if i win i´ll send you it too)

This would be a blessing to have. It’s amazing what people can create these days. The wide angle attachment lens is an awesome addition! For about a year now I have wanted to start a project on homelessness and abandonment. I’ve always thought it interesting the paths people take that create their life. My first picture would be of the faces of those people that I meet on the streets!

That camera is awesome. The first picture I’d take with it would be of Bastrop. The city recently just experienced the worst wildfires in Texas’s history and much of the forest that surrounded the city has been burnt to the ground.

The first photo i would take would have to be of my new bike at the park because it’s the best thing ever!

it’d likely be of my girlfriend. smiling.

I hope the very first picture that I take would be the look on the faces of my Canadian friends’ as I show up for an unplanned visit. I’d really love to capture the raw and spontaneous feel of the moment. I am not sure how everything will work out seeing that I am literally half a world away from them. One thing I do know, is that I’d treasure the photo as I have far too little candid shots of them, which is such a pity. To me candid shots capture people as they are and are as such, are the most precious.

Of course, I hope I’ll be able to bring the camera with me as I continue to (hopefully) spring more surprises on my friends from Europe.

I miss them all too much.

A homeless man… then I’d give him the camera.

I would take a portrait photograph of my friend Kelsey laying in a pile arms and hands. Hands and arms that were drawn on illustration board and cut out. I would have a soft spot light on him while he is laying in the hands and arms immersed in the feeling of being “held” and “touched” by these artificial limbs. He looks pleased and calm in the photograph, almost like he’s going to fall asleep. Since Kelsey will be covered in the arms and hands, the wide-angle perspective will make the photograph seem as though he is laying in a infinite pool of arms and hands.

a sunset or a cheeky family photo.

Bring it to my friend’s house party. Makeshift, living room skatepark, makeshift countertop dj booth and nothing but good friends, good people. Oh, and an insanely small-but amazing camera to capture it all.

I would take a picture with me, my family, and my fiance in it. Why not start with what is most important?

I would do a random favor for a stranger, and photograph their reaction, because in short, I like to make people happy by helping them.

With a standard size camera, I’d shoot a head shot of myself… For this; I’d try getting a shot of my tonsils.

I’d take a trip to Marin County and take a photo off the top of Mt. Tam! get a view of the trees, the water, and the golden gate bridge

I’d like to stick it in a hole!
- not just any hole, a tree hole. It always made me jealous as a kid, when the woodpecker snuck inside the trees, and I was left alone, looking at the rough greyish bark and a few peck traces from the intruder.
Fantastic Mr. Fox & carpentry school still haven’t satisfied the need to see the other side.

i’d sneak up on some alleycats and accidentally get a picture of jesus.

If I got this camera, I would load batteries in it as soon as I got it and I’d probably make my first pictures I take with it, the lighted ice cream cone entrance and exit signs in the parking lot of the Dairy Queen I work at.

the view from laying down in my front yard looking up

i would take a picture of my grandfather of 89 in his garden, tending to his vegetables and stroking the soft grey hair of his pet rabbit Petey while reminiscing on his Cuban past and thinking of what he will say when he dies and finally visits Nana, who despite her passing remains the love of his life.

the inside of my mouth

I guess i would take a picture of the first best person i see and wont stop, holding the camera at chest hight and just walking round the streets, taking photos of beautyfull persons, unnoticed.

I would take a picture of a midget

Snap pictures of people looking in my cubicle window.

I’d take a picture of my socks. They’re real nice socks.

I would put it on a timer then into a minigrip, attach a string and flush the toilet.( Tough I might find out something I dont want to know about!)

BUGS and more bugs.

I would take pictures of food scattered on the sidewalk.

i would take a picture of the first amazing street art i run into (not conventional, but accidental street art), something inspiring for all

my cat, she always poses for me

the first picture?…his eyes watching the sea…thinking…everything’s possible…

The first photo i would take with this camera would be a photo of my little dog!!!!

I WOULD SHOOT THE BIRTH OF A CHILD!

Going to meet my nephew for the first time (hes 2 years old now), I’m gonna take a picture of our first meet!

A picture o my favourite cat Alex of course!

I’d most likely take photos of tiny dust particles. The ones you can only capture under the setting sun, and in a dusty dusty room.

I love images that look really calm but are strange at the same time. As autumn approaches, I would do something like move my bed outside really early in the morning before the neighbors are awake. I would set up the bed to be in the middle of the street with the large trees as a canopy over it, tree leaves all over the place. I would someone sleeping in my bed – peaceful and strange.

Right around this time the sunsets in my area look like they should be in a movie. I would probably take some silhouetted pictures of skateboarding maneuvers.

I’m going to be honest here. I’d probably take a picture of my feet or something dumb. I’m way too impatient to wait and get that “perfect shot” as my first.

candid shots, they have the ability to show such beautiful moments. they are much easier to take with something subtle

The first photo I would shoot: the camera through a mirror……

Acropolis of course

I can think of great idea’s but it would be just my hand.. out of focus..

a blue montain

The sunrise from my balcony!!! The view from my house is amazing!!!

I would take a picture of a mousehole. I can see it so clearly..little mouse in its morning gown is sitting in a tiny armchair with its feet on the table.

my cats!

teleiooooooooooooooooo,……………..

The first picture I would take is of my crazy little nephew he does the craziest and funniest faces.

A shot of an Olympus F!
A Beautiful camera!

My roommate’s face.

I would shoot the jewelry I’ve been making. I would love to share it with other people, but I dont have a digital camera and cant ever show people what Im working on.

I would take a photo of my newborn grand child!

My mom and dad had a rough upbringing on the rez. Recently, they’ve been telling me of some horrible mishaps, some downright disturbing. Though I couldn’t go back in time, I would go to these locations, present day, and take pictures of the scenes of the crimes. and tell their stories on the side. An unfortunate memoir, i guess…

On my way to work every morning, I pass an “Empire” gas station. Kind of run-down, on the corner of a puzzling intersection. For the past couple weeks, i have spotted this older woman standing by the “DIESEL FUEL” sign on the side of the road next to this gas station. She must be in her 60′s I’d say, and she is always wearing (even on the warmest days) a long-sleeved black dress, so long that you cannot even see her ankles. She has a braid of grayish-white hair hanging down her back. She must be waiting for someone to pick her up, but i always get the chills when i pass by and see her standing there. Every cloudy day, i kick myself for not having a camera on me to photograph her. I want to take this photo!

The first photo I would take would be that of the intangible void of being. I would then destroy any and all evidence of its existence from the face of this celestial rock. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have accomplished what I had set out to initially do, and what’s the point of that???
