The idea is a simple one: each Friday, post your photos on a given theme. It's tons of fun, but the pay's for crap. [[User:Shane|Shane]] [http://metachat.org/index.php/2006/02/21/photo_fridays suggested the idea in February of 2006.] Use this page to keep track of upcoming themes and look back on past threads.

Currently, [[User:Youngergirl44|youngergirl44]] is picking themes from the list of suggestions below. A few upcoming themes will be listed with their dates, allowing users to prepare or plan their photos. Also, an 'advance notice' post will be made each Wednesday around noon (CST) to remind everyone of the theme for the week. On Friday, [[User:Pjern|pjern]] will post the Photo Friday thread and some pictures to kick it off. Other users may make these posts as necessary - life has a tendency to creep up on us all.

* 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. (I could [http://www.flickr.com/photos/68965980@N00/118921245/in/set-72057594092126942/ blur the photo] for extra realism).

Latest revision as of 18:01, 30 January 2013

Overview

The idea is a simple one: each Friday, post your photos on a given theme. It's tons of fun, but the pay's for crap. Shane suggested the idea in February of 2006. Use this page to keep track of upcoming themes and look back on past threads.

Currently, youngergirl44 is picking themes from the list of suggestions below. A few upcoming themes will be listed with their dates, allowing users to prepare or plan their photos. Also, an 'advance notice' post will be made each Wednesday around noon (CST) to remind everyone of the theme for the week. On Friday, pjern will post the Photo Friday thread and some pictures to kick it off. Other users may make these posts as necessary - life has a tendency to creep up on us all.

Feel free to add your ideas for themes to the list below. Please make sure to go over the existing list to check for duplicates and don't forget to include your name!

Look here if you need help posting photos from Flickr. Currently there is an issue with their code so you have to add a forward slash in order for it to work - see here for instructions.

Upcoming Photo Friday Themes

Please note that the dates are subject to change if something shiny distracts us. Please see the Advance Notice thread posted each Wednesday to confirm the theme for the week.
