THE INSTRUCTIONS
It's your turn! Using the attached photo as your source and the “language” of the world around you as your form of expression, translate this photo using the camera built into your phone. Like in the game of Telephone, you can be as literal or as creative as you like. You can decide to be sincere or cheeky, clever or meticulous, cooperative or contrary.

Round 1 begins with a translation of Edward Weston's "Waterfront."
