What photos do you want to post this Friday? Maybe just any photos that you want to post? Or maybe your WORST photos (iconomy's idea)?
We could do a mirror project thing and have ourselves reflected in a surface, maybe. Or try camera tossing (not for the faint of heart). Here are some other themes that we could have fun interpreting:
I Am Curious, Yellow
Heart Like a Wheel
Monochromatica
Heaven on Earth
You Spin Me Round Round Baby
Black on Black or White on White
Out of Focus
Gimme Some Skin
Signs of the Times
Alphabetica (this would be my fav...I love hand drawn or painted letters and discovering letter shapes found in nature)
I think SKIN! is great too, as peeps can be creative with it, and it also gives us a chance to post pics of ourselves without posting full face shots (which some people dislike due to Internet privacy issues.) Also there's just loads of room for creativity, everything from sexy/suggestive to skin & favorite clothing to skin in the shower or at the beach... etc.
With these creative themes, I think good advance notice is in order. Lately I've done easy, fun stuff (post any image of how you feel, scan or photo some handwriting) partially because they're convenient, quick projects that require little thought or preparation, and partially because they seem fun.
I feel so pushy picking one myself! If you like Gimme Some Skin, we could do that, because it's already Wednesday, and for that one all you need is skin, which hopefully we all have.
Next week I'd like to do either I Am Curious Yellow or Alphabetica, unless someone else has another idea.
Don't feel pushy. They're all GREAT ideas. It's all communal! No territoriality. I can always slip in one of my own themes occasionally as I feel the urge, or if I get behind on posting the idea in advance and need something that can be done quickly.
