Photos of photos
Photos of paintings
Music
Household Objects
Food
Dance
Light
People


ok...I'll stop there with themes. Like any of them?
Any other ideas?
Discuss.

Re: April Contest: Discussion

How about life's foibles? Pictures where something in the picture is not quite right... Fun pictures.

Re: April Contest: Discussion

Do competitions all have to be picture ones? Maybe a change for this month would be worth a change?

Re: April Contest: Discussion

The photo contest will always be a picture one...I suggest we stick to it. We can always do other kinds of contest in addition. But it will take some time to establish the photo contest and get more people to participate in it, so let's focus on it IMHO.

I think the topic "Light" is a good one, Freezey! It's open enough to resemble a "free for all"...

Oh, that would be about 5,000 of my photos. And it's not fun.
