Photo Friday

Overview

The idea is a simple one: each Friday, post 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.

Update 1/11/08: Our recent attempt to 'pick a theme and then pick a picker' has been canned. There is no permanent system in place for how we are going to choose upcoming themes. We're flying by the seat of our pants!

• 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 blur the photo for extra realism).
• 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
