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.

We're trying a new system for selecting themes. The first bunny picks a theme for the upcoming Friday. The Monday beforehand, they post a thread in which they name their theme and a bunny of their choice to pick the next theme. The first bunny should also email the next theme-picker, so it doesn't get missed. When their Friday comes up, the bunny who chose the theme is in charge of posting the thread. The process continues with the second bunny, who begins by posting their picks the next Monday. Is that even almost English?
