girl seeking adventure

Although I haven't seen the new Alice in Wonderland movie yet, I still feel like I have indirectly gotten Wonderland fever! And I know I'm not the only one.

Since I know that this community loves a good photo challenge I was thrilled to discover a fantastic (and fun) ideas for a photo challenge inspired by the fine folks of Shoot Experience. Everything they do over there is photography driven (yay!) and it all seems so cool but this particular project felt perfect for all of us. It's called Shoot Portobello and it's what they call a photo "story event" this time based on Alice in Wonderland. How cool is that??

Since many of us are waaaay too far to take a day trip to London, we're going to play along from here in our own sisterly way. The big eventis happening on March 28th which will give you some time to muse on capturing your own images on this theme. Since we're making up our own rules, there are no rules! Just shoot something, or a series of something, that is inspired by the classic (and trippy) tale of Alice in Wonderland and on March 28th we'll all reveal our shots of our grand adventures! The event itself is geared toward teams working together so if you want to pair up or gather a team to play together (albeit virtually) we encourage you to go for it! The sky is the limit (just ask Alice). Something tells me this is going to fit in perfectly with our OWP theme dream too, don't you think??

And if those of you that are close enough to attend (Xanthe...you out there?) can make it to the event, that would be amazing. How fun to be represented by a Sister! Let us know.

Feel free to pop over the the Shoot Experience facebook page and become a fan if you'd like to give them a sisterly pat on the back for doing such creative things with photography. I just did!

As for today, share with us any kind of adventure shot...anything goes and/or just let us know if you're up for the photo challenge. We're excited to get your feedback. And don't forget to have your Alice in Wonderland shot(s) ready for March 28th. Don't be late!

Our participation in Shoot Portobello is not officially affiliated with the event. We're just kind of tagging along. But the folks over there are happy to have us so we thank them for that.

I LOVE this! Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are long favorites of mine, friends I made in childhood and have reread often! Time for another visit to Wonderland.

What a too cool thing to do ... being four hours from London, I may have to check out the possibility of taking a road trip.

oh tracey, i love what the shoot experience guys get up to, and this great project has been in the back of my mind ever since i received the email from them. it's my birthday that day, so unfortunately i can't make it, i can't really abandon my family for the whole day. but i'm going to join in their May event instead!.

it's good to know i can still join in "alice" fun with all of you here : )

actually recently we've been getting into the "alice" spirit at my sister's cafe.
