The mystery of who placed a polaroid camera along a popular Metchosin trail has been solved.
A Metchosin woman is taking claim for the art project she initiated that included a waterproof polaroid placed into a jar near Sitting Lady Falls B次元官网网址� but sheB次元官网网址檚 choosing to stay anonymous.
B次元官网网址淚 like to take pictures of people, but I feel awkward walking up to a stranger and asking to take their photo,B次元官网网址� the 20-year-old said.
B次元官网网址淭his way I can still have something thatB次元官网网址檚 less invasive and more permanent versus all the social media these days. IB次元官网网址檓 terrible with tech and I like to live life more off-the-grid. I donB次元官网网址檛 even have Facebook.B次元官网网址�

In the jar, she placed a note for strangers who stumble on the project: B次元官网网址淗elp me do some photography! Feel free to take a selfie. But if you want to be a mystery, take a picture of anything pretty. Maybe a tree, a bee, or even your knee. 1 picture each please, and sorry for the bad poetry.B次元官网网址�
The 20-year-old was inspired to create the project after returning from an overseas trip to Europe. SheB次元官网网址檚 new to photography and usually takes photos on her phone.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e so distracted with our digital lives,B次元官网网址� said the Metchosin woman. B次元官网网址淚 could sit for hours on Instagram looking at random things. It doesnB次元官网网址檛 hold any value to me, but knowing that each individual picture was taken with purpose makes this project so special. And you only get one shot.B次元官网网址�
The 20-year-old found out about the success of her project through her mother, who saw a post on a Facebook page for Metchosin residents. She made an account under the name, B次元官网网址淛ar BinksB次元官网网址� and shared her finished project, which included 28 printed shots she placed on a plank of wood.
Now, B次元官网网址淛ar BinksB次元官网网址� is searching for a place to hang her project. SheB次元官网网址檚 considering the Metchosin ArtPod or the info centre at Sitting Lady Falls. Until then, she works at a cafe and plans to pursue Environmental Studies at the University of Victoria in the coming months.
Her next project will be placed somewhere along a Metchosin trail. She described it as a B次元官网网址渂usiness card unlike any other.B次元官网网址�
