I think traffic is a theme that can be easily done by all. You don't need to stand on the highway for this. A photo of a train or a shot out of your car window (not while driving!) or an airplane will do. A traffic jam will be ideal too.
My idea this month is "Not What It Seems." Open to all genre; photo's from alternate angles - hiding its actual form, any abstract or surrealism from Apop or a 3D program, manipulations to alter the subject (see the many Trash Arts of Rob's [.rvdb] or anything your imagination can dream up. I think we can really come up with some great original pieces. -Mike
i like lightpainter's idea, i think one topic thats original if im not mistaken? its one that is challenging with a camera for those that prefer auto or presets on the camera, yet all genres can easily produce as well. if this topic is not pick it should be resubmitted!
That's the impression I got Steve and there's plenty of so called bad and ugly near me, but I'm cynical that people here really would enjoy so called bad/ugly images. Assuming our interpretation is right, time will tell!
