Great themes.. I'll be away for holidays in August :))) But I'll be back just in time to post something... Then for me could be good: Vacation, Emotion, Elements and Water :))

Hmmmm.... I vote for elements. -=>Donald

Pictures appear to me, I shoot them.ย ย  Elliot Erwitt

Surrealism. This is a challenge, something with difficulty, without it IMHO isn't a challenge, just a theme.


jacoggins ( ) posted Mon, 28 July 2003 at 4:53 PM

I'm with enax, surrealism would be fun, but if it boils down to something off the list, I'll go with blue


zhounder ( ) posted Mon, 28 July 2003 at 5:54 PM

Elements because it includes light and water!


doca ( ) posted Mon, 28 July 2003 at 8:27 PM

I'd like to see a combination of sure and real with a tad of ism tossed in for good measure. But hey, that's just me.


Michelle A. ( ) posted Mon, 28 July 2003 at 9:20 PM

If you vote for more than one I take the first choice...just so you know! Enax (Francesc) has added surrealism to our choices... So far...... 1 for vacation 5 for elements 3 for surrealism We have until 7/31 to finalize our choice, so keep voting everyone!

I will vote for Elements. Have a vacation in August, so elements is good.


cynlee ( ) posted Mon, 28 July 2003 at 11:54 PM

drat! i better get those abstracts posted- i took a few, really i did! now let's see, what to choose... elements sounds good to me too :]


cockjuice ( ) posted Tue, 29 July 2003 at 12:33 AM

Sounds like elements has it. I thought vacation is a good one because it encompasses a bit more and could include elements. Usually, the majority of people have some kind of vacation in August.

I wanna vote in a NEW topic - sexism...... at least then we'll have to actually THINK about it. (",)


Michelle A. ( ) posted Thu, 31 July 2003 at 6:31 PM

2 for vacation 7 for vacation 3 for surrealism and sexism(?) added to the list ..... I've decided not to make any cracks that could be considered to be picking Jordy. ;~)

Maybe we might through some water on the fire, come up for air and go for earthy things....all are exploited by humankind. : )


DHolman ( ) posted Thu, 31 July 2003 at 11:18 PM

Jordy - I know what you mean. I was actually thinking the other day that maybe we could do a sort of 2 part vote. First vote for the type of challenge and then a 2nd vote for the actual challenge (figured 'chelle and Star don't have enough to do). What I was thinking of for type would be something like "Normal", "Tough", "Good Googa-Mooga!!!" Normal would be like "Fire", "Water", "Elements", "Blue", etc. Tough would be ones like "Music", "Noise", "Laughter", etc. Good Googa-Mooga would be like "Sexism", "Enlightenment", "Contentment", "Outrageous", etc. Ones where you'd have to think "How the hell am I supposed to show that with a photo?!" Just a thought. -=>Donald

Element is fine with me :D

Ooo a debate! I must say that with all the participation this month it was difficult for me to keep up... and then with my state of mind during the majority of the month it was even tougher going..... Yes even supermods can't fly high in the sky all the time, sometimes they get stuck on the ground..... We did if you all remember have more than one category, Zone 1, Zone 2..... Which more or less broke people into beginners and advanced..... shrug Not sure I really like that idea and I'm glad it's gone to honest with you all. While it seems we've gone more from a challenge to themes, I kind of like it this way. Take a look at this month. I mean really look..... Some of these are very sophisticated and took a lot of thought. The theme did indeed challenge many individuals. Also realize in looking that not everyone got it....the theme was for some a hard concept to grasp, and so maybe some are not so abstract? But keep in mind, everyone of us is at a different level skill wise. For some concepts are hard to put into an actual image. I remember when I struggled with the Monthly Challenge for leading lines way back when. I just didn't get it....now I do...at least I think I do...but it took time, lots of thinking and lots of picture taking to finally grasp how leading lines work and how to use that concept in an image. My thought here is that individually we can make these as difficult or as easy as we want to on a personal level. So while I like your idea Donald, I'm not sure how we could actually get it to work. As it is we didn't get that many people voting, we usually don't. So how would voting twice work? BTW those ideas Contentment, Outrageous etc....they're great! why not add them to the list of choices anyway? They don't have to be Good Googa-Mooga for people to try them out do they?

That's why I didn't mention it when I thought of it ... couldn't figure out how to implement it. And no, they don't have to Be Good Googa-Mooga (tm) ... I just like saying Good Googa-Mooga (tm). I really wanna try Enlightenment one day, but I still have no idea how I'd capture that on film. Oooo oooo ... we could promote Jordy to Minister in Charge of Getting People to Vote. Of course, there'd be the odd fatality here or there, but it might work. :) -=>Donald

enlightenment would be an interesting concept for next month... be interesting to see what people's ideals would be on that subject
