New Photo Friday themes? Your ideas? →[More:]

My ideas:

~How about "Autumn" when the leaves begin to fall?
~How about "But is it art?" for abstractions or anything you find interesting?
~How about another "Furry Friday" soon?
~How about a thread in which we photograph anything, as long as a bit of yourself (hand, foot, face, whatever) is somewhere in the photo?
~How about "My friends" (which does not have to be limited to living creatures)?
~How about "My bathroom"?

"My projects" - things in progress that you are making. Whether work-related or hobby thingies.

"LOLHUMANS" - the other day I saw someone trip and I swear to god my first thought was, "LOL. Invisible Stairs!"

"WANT" and "DO NOT WANT" pictures that you have taken of things that you um, WANT and DO NOT WANT.

(SHUTIT. I know two out of the three are LOLCAT related.)

"perspective"

"light / shadow"

I like all of the ideas so far, but we did a Furry Friday pretty recently. I think we should hold off on that one for awhile.

"Heirlooms" -- things that have been passed down to you, or that you intend to pass down to yours.

"handwriting" - someone brought this up recently...

What do we do with the ones that were already listed on the Wiki page... I don't think anyone thought of what to do with these.

Emulate a MetaChatter: Make yourself up/dress yourself up/pose in what is quintessentially in a way that flatters or lightheartedly pokes fun at another member. For example, I might put on a rock t-shirt, a flannel, grab a beer bottle, and presto! I'm jonmc.
Something that makes you smile
Something that makes you proud
Goofy clothes: Take a pic of yourself in a goofy outfit, something you never wear anymore, a funny wig or hat
Sanctuary: A favorite place, a park, a cafe, wherever you go to relax/feel safe
Exquisite corpse: Everyone takes a picture of their upper torso, middle torso and lower torso/legs. Then Photoshop mix and match fun. -hellbient
Self portraits
Favorite thing(s) you wear: clothing, shoes, jewelry, etc.
Favorite vacation photo

Looks Like: Nondescript things that resemble something specific -hellbient
The front of the outside of your dwelling space. -hellbient
Baby photos (of ourselves) - brina
A Mess: Photograph a place in your home or workspace at its worst - brina
Feet: Modeled on the Scarlett Johannssen quote "I took stupid pictures of my feet." - brina
Yearbook photos - fallenposters

Do you want to be in charge, shane?

"Hauntings" ... We could post pictures that we've either manufactured to make look haunted or that just came out that way.

Nov 2nd: Hallowe'en or more generally holidays if Hallowe'en is going to be offensive.

Artist John Pfahl has a collection of images he calls Extreme Agriculture, which is an interesting idea... These could be photos of naturally occurring unusual plant life, arranged compositions, dramatic camera angles of ordinary flora, macros... lots of possibilities. (will add this to wiki)

He's a little like Goldsworthy.

Amanda, why don't you choose one for tomorrow, first from the existing ideas? If you don't mind. You seem to enjoy this. Thanks!

youngergirl44: how about if you pick a theme for tomorrow, and then designate a person (with their approval of course) to pick next week's theme, and they pick the next person, etc...

posted by DarkForest 04 October | 20:17

I love that idea. (plus after this one, maybe the pickers should announce the topics on Monday in a separate post?)

What's the verdict, boss? What's the theme?
