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.

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.

Look [http://metachat.org/index.php/2010/09/14/easy_as_1_2_3_photo_posting_from_flickr 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 [http://metachat.org/index.php/2011/06/02/ask_the_whelk_anything_absinthe_edition#c575843 here] for instructions.

* 1 September '06 FURRY FRIDAY!  ...once again and always popular, suggested by cmonkey.  Post pics of your animal companions or other people's animal companions or... hell, you know... <em>animals</em>. Not even necessarilly furry ones. Bugs are fine, jon. Post pics of those "other furries" if you want, too.<br>
 
−
* 8 September '06 "What's Wrong With This Picture," suggested by WolfDaddy, no PhotoShopping allowed: "...pictures that at first glance look 'ordinary' but something's subtly--or not--wrong..."<br>
 
−
* 15 September '06 "Alice In Wonderland," suggested by lonefrontranger: "...this could be interpreted so many ways... i.e. white rabbits, top hats, weretable's Most Excellent Caterpillars [photos], macros of chess pieces, and general trippy weirdness... these are all good things, right?"<br>
 
−
* 22 September "Pictures that Evoke an Extreme Emotional Reaction," suggested by Zack_Replica: "Everything from wonder and fascination to awe and horror. There doesn't have to be a specific reason behind the emotion (as it's all subjective anyway), just the picture triggering something in your grey matter that goes 'Yow!' "<br>
 
−
* 29 September [tentatively] "Found Art," suggested by shane: "I like that. Stuff you just, um, <em>found</em>. Tripped over. Whatever. And it's, like, 'art.' "

* 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.

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

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.
