The printed photo-pack

To promote careful observation try these excellent ideas, adapted from the Thengapalli photopack (available from Oxfam) with the kind permission of the author, Dylan Theodore.

Pick a picture: choose one you find interesting or attractive or puzzling or surprising

Phone home: describe your photo to someone who can't see it, as if phoning home

Rumour clinic: A describes photo to B from memory, then B to C etc without seeing it

Kim's game: which photo has been removed from the set?

Where was the photographer standing?

What 5 photos would you take to show Angers people what Wigan is like?

Drawing around: mount the photo on larger paper and continue what you think is next
