This week’s challenge is centered around the number -1. How do we photograph -1? Well multiply any number by -1, and you obtain its opposite. And this week is all about the opposite. Setting and breaking rules In the past weeks, we already explored breaking the rules. We first went beyond perfectionism and went against …
Next Sunday will be pinhole day, and the goal of this week is to celebrate it. A pinhole camera is any kind of container (e.g. a box) that only let light pass through a tiny hole and reach a photo-sensitive surface. In essence, it is similar to any other camera with the exception that it …
This week Stuck in Plastic is exhibiting at the LEGO World exhibition in Copenhagen. One of the themes of the exhibition is “Rebuild the World”, related to LEGO’s own Rebuild the World campaign. So this week will all be about rebuilding the world in a creative way. How can we use our creativity as photographers …
After Bev, Natasja and Suné, I will be the one taking over our weekly challenges for the month of April. As some of you might have noticed, for almost a year I have been pretty much absent from social media. For years, I have been in a semi-constant creative rut, but since last summer, the …

But even though we’ve already announced our project for 2021, we’ve never concluded SiPgoesTT. The truth is, since December, writing a recap …

I struggle with social media. Particularly with Instagram. It’s been going on for years now. More than once, I wrote a draft for a blog post about it, but never posted any of them.
