Description:

For this swap you will check out the song Sci Fi Wasabi by Cibo Matto. Sci Fi Wasabi is a whimsical, politically inspired song. The lyrics appear nonsensical and far fetched at moments which makes it perfect for photographic interpretation. There's a plethora of themes and ideas to draw inspiration from.

Listen to Sci Fi Wasabi on Rhapsody
Lyrics to Sci Fi Wasabi on Lyrics Freak

Once you have familiarized yourself with the music, chose any one line from the song and make it your photograph's working title. Grab a camera and go out to shoot with your line in mind. When you've captured something phenomenal, print your photograph and send it to your partner. Don't forget to jot your chosen line on your photo.

Both the size of your printed photograph and how you chose to present it should reflect your artistic vision. Accordingly, there are no technical requirements. That said, please do your best work. This swap is open to all skill levels.

Edited to Add:
Don't be intimidated by this swap if you are unfamiliar with the band or the song. The point of the swap is NOT to shoot something a fan of the band would appreciate. The point is to give you inspiration in the form of a song and the corresponding lyrics. For example, you may take the line "Technically I'm free and I can find the key" and interpret it by shooting a keyhole (pretty literal) or a bird (a liberal interpretation of free). Get it? Good. Join!
