Write two poems
like those in Born
Tying Knots:
Swampy Cree
Naming Stories.
First, tell the story
of your “Past
Swampy Cree Indian
Name.” Write a
poem/story that
explains why you
might have been
given this back THEN.
After that, write a
second poem to tell
the story of your
“Present Swampy
Cree Indian Name.”
What name would
people who know
you NOW give you
at this time? Why?

One of the most
important things
you can do as a
photographer is to
document your
interests. If you care
about what you
photograph, you'll
do better work. This
exercise will help
you think more about
what interests you
and what you're
curious about. After
that, you'll photograph
some of your interests.
