Theme ideas for Photo Friday. →[More:]
Tomorrow will be the last of the wonderful Photo Friday themes suggested by sakura (it's 'Projects I'm Proud Of' tomorrow).

So let's have some suggestions for future Photo Fridays. I have little or no imagination to come up with anything interesting so I'm relying on you guys for ideas.

Apologies if this has been suggested, me being fairly new to these parts. I was thinking that there's been so much dramatic weather this year that 'weather' could be a subject.

Okay, I have one: Photoliterate - pick a passage from a favorite book, and shoot a photo to illustrate the passage. Or shoot a cover for your favorite book. These would need to be announced beforehand, I think.

MOAR THEMES!!! I really love the suggestions above.

I've actually been thinking about this.

1. Triangles, Squares, Circles
2. Silly Hats
3. Food Pics (Stuff you've made)
4. Really, Really Cute Stuff
5. The House Where You Grew Up.
6. Then and now. (Pictures of the same thing with substantial time in between shots.)

I'm trying to keep them mixed between easy for everyone to partake and a bit harder, but interesting. Feel free do use these or not. :)

#1 is potentially three weeks worth.

How about My Commute? for some people that might be from teh bed to the couch, but could be interesting (don't want to cause any accidents on the interstate though).

1. Golden
2. Close-ups (not just people, but could be)
3. A secret
4. LOUD!
5. Boundaries, fences, boxes, borders, edges
6. Out my window
7. Fake

Some really good suggestions, just adding in that I like the advance notice for the project kind of ones - taz's, BP,s 3, 7, 4. . .

Wow, sweet, especially the ones given by taz, sakura (The House Where You Grew Up--For me, one happens to be in another state, and the other house, another country...), rhapsodie--I love my mom, and would love to get her down for this.

It'd be sort of neat to see an emotion series--anger, exhaustion, joy...

Has anyone picked one for this Friday?
