The Items We Carry: The JPG Challenge

“It’s been exactly a year since The Items We Carry, a flickr group, was started by designer and photographer Naz Hamid. It’s for photos of the small things we put in our pockets or on our persons — the essentials we need to function daily at a basic level.

This week, we’ve invited Naz to JPG, to run this interesting challenge within our community. So empty your pockets and show us what you have! We’ll play by his rules—if you don’t have pockets and say, are a lady, then your purse may serve as your pockets (no bags otherwise)—and Naz himself will be guest editing this challenge!

If you did this challenge on flickr last year, do it again, and link to your original photo. What’s changed since then?

This challenge will be open for one week and will close on July 30, 2008.”

Do it!

Update: The selections I made have been posted which are also available as a PDF download. Thanks to all who participated.
