What it's all about.

Hypothesis: See the world through the eyes of a mascot (a la Amelie)

Apparatus: A mascot of your choice and a camera

Method: Pick a personal mascot and take it on your travels with you., eg a stuffed toy, a pet rock or garden gnome (or an iPod). Take its picture outside famous landmarks and record its other experiences with a camera. On your return home, consider making a photo album (or a Blog) or your mascot's travels. Show it to your friends. The album should look like you were never there.

So my first idea was I was going to travel around Newtown with my iPod. More mascots may show their faces if i get sick of attempting to focus on both a tiny green rectangle AND something big.

I wholeheartedly encourage readers to try this method of travel in their own towns (or others' towns!) and let me know, so I can then authorize you and you can post it here.

Happy travelling!
