Streak Club is a place for hosting and participating in creative streaks.
The other day, I thought about how streak club asks how you feel about each submission you make. I don't remember ever checking the "I'm not proud of it" button and wondered what it would take to make me click it for a submission. It was interesting to me to explore that. Due to the formatting of the prompt, where pride is contrasted with feeling neutral, I have interpreted "I'm not proud of it" to mean I actively feel shame about this submission. I looked through my photo collection for photos that made me feel ashamed. The photos I am sharing with this submission make me feel ashamed because of the process leading to me having taken and shared them, not the quality of the actual image.
Have you ever checked "I'm not proud of it" when submitting?
"It's a Pentax Q."
"Oh, is it like, film...?"
[they reach for the lens cap]
[I take off the lens cap, turn it on, and start shooting blindly]
"Nah... it's looking at you"
"Oh, is it filming now?"
"I'm just snapping photos."
[they look surprised and quickly walk away]
my wicked impulses...
