The View From Here...

I don't know where this idea came from, but I reckon it will be really interesting (if it works)...

I'm always fascinated to see what other people's lives are like. I remember coming across a section in the Curvy publications showcasing the view from the window's of various artists featured in the book. Another time it was something near their house. Looking at the photos and back at their artwork, I thought it lent an insightful angle to my perception of the art and the artist.

So, my idea. To put a call out for a photo from your window. I'll pick a bunch of entries to showcase in a post. I thought it would also be interesting if you included an example of your work (whatever you do!).

What do you think? If you're up for the challenge, email your photos (under 1MB pleez) to jordan@theartofjordan.com, along with your name, origin and an interesting fact about yourself. If you have a blog, website, store etc just include the link and I'll attach it to your entry.

If you know anyone who'd be interesting in taking part, let them know (click on the email share link button below to send this post to them). And if you feel the need to broadcast this little call on your blog, twitter or facebook - be my guest!

Go forth and happy snap! {Here's a few ideas...}

This is a great idea. It reminds me of "A Room of One's Own", where Virginia Woolf claims that all a woman needs is a room of one's own and 500 pounds a year to create, independently. In "A room with a View", E.M. Forster claims that a room with a view is essential.

I agree heartily with these authors. I chose my third floor apartment for the nice view. I think having a nice view can inspire artists to create their own beauty.

I might just send you something. Is there a time limit? Or did I just miss that part?

Have a lovely day!
