and early 1930s. The term denoted picture making that was spontaneous, topical and rapid. Your task is to become a journalist of your own existence.
Without a specific theme you have the freedom to document the more random elements of your summer break. For example; the way the light
comes through the curtain in the morning and illuminates your alarm clock to climbing a mountain and observing the way the rocks look greasy in the morning due, or even noticing the sea gulls pecking at the newspaper your
