**Olivier proposes a challenge:** Buy a cheap one-use/disposable film camera. Use it to take photos in your city (36/24 views) choose the best five pics and scan them (or when they are developed have them burned to CD). Take these five photos and make a simple collage in a vertical format, on photo atop another on a white or black background. A one line border around each image is fine, but don't get into heavy postwork -- drop shadows, etc. (Kai has a good example in the old thread) In your comments talk about the photos you took and why...share a little of your process. Title your gallery entry: "**One-Use Challenge - (your name)**" Let's see what we can do with a very minimalist hardware. Full color or black and white is fine; what is important here is the eye of the photographer, not what camera or software they use. For those with no scanning capability or limited funds, it is okay to use a digital point and shoot camera. If you do so, please follow the honor system -- each participant take no more than 36 images in AUTO mode, and no other postwork besides B&W conversion and cropping -- and of course the collage. But for this challenge we would prefer that each participant uses a disposable film camera. When you post the collage in your gallery, send me a link and I will add it to the list below. People can discuss your entry in the comments beneath your images (so leave the comments on) and in this thread as well.
