I love that idea!

***k20z3Vo*** · 08-13-2007, 05:43 PM

how about nightlife?

it seems do-able.

**marc-o-lishuz** · 08-13-2007, 05:49 PM

Going on the night theme - how about long exposures?

JeShUa · 08-13-2007, 06:11 PM

Life.

**wing_gundam** · 08-13-2007, 06:56 PM

In the first post you should have each month link to that month's submission post, and update it. :]

kelmar · 08-14-2007, 07:57 PM

Excellent idea! If I think of anything good I'll be sure to post them here!

***k20z3Vo*** · 08-15-2007, 07:25 PM

Human Facial Expressions? or is that under the theme Life?

Crowd'd Population (cant figure out the proper title for this **HELP? 8thGenUser**) Something like the rush hour in New York, Atlanta, etc... A nice fish eyed shot of people-taxi-building-sky shot of Time Square... Just throwing some ideas of the theme.

**wing_gundam** · 08-15-2007, 07:55 PM

^ human traffic? commuting?

i think people pics are a great idea... i guess ive been reluctant myself to post pics of my fam. friends as they wouldn't really appreciate it

but you can get some nice ones!

I'll say "Expressions" and "People" would be good enough. I'd still like to keep themes broad so that people can apply their own creative interpretations.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Attraction/Repulsion.
Meaning, something you are repulsed by, but cant help but continue looking at.

Repulsion is good enough. If you're so repulsed by something that you have to take a picture of it, you're obviously attracted to it in some way.

I think Attraction by itself is much too broad as a stand-alone theme, but I'll add it in.

***k20z3Vo*** · 08-23-2007, 01:48 PM

How about clutter? = disaster? = chaos?

Something along those terms?
