There aren’t as many people out there that are as passionate about a TREE as they are about their PET. However, the people that have passion are very passionate.
Here are this week’s submissions for TREE:
Bill Wentworth
Kim Barker 1
Kim Barker 2
Sarah Karber
Angie DeWaard 1
Angie DeWaard 2
Angie DeWaard 3
Christopher D. Bennett
It should be noted that we are officially at the halfway point of this project and it has yet to have a single strike against it. Therefore it is somewhat safe (as safe as a UNI lead anyways) to assume that this project will return for a second year. Which means, you should start thinking about themes you want to see for next year. I might be open to suggestions. Although I might not.
On a week where I’m not as rushed, I will publish the full list of 52 themes, so you know what is out there.
How about next week’s theme?
SILHOUETTE!
I’m 100% sure that everybody knows what a tree is. I’m about 98% sure everybody knows what a SILHOUETTE is, but just in case, here is a definition.
the dark shape and outline of someone or something visible against a lighter background, especially in dim light.
The best way to tackle this is to photograph something that is backlit. Preferably something that has an interesting shape. Size or action.
You get it. And I can’t wait to see what people submit.
HOUSEKEEPING
A quick note from THE PHOTOGRAPHY 139 SHAMELESS SECRET DIVISION.
It is troublesome that people have actually been paying attention to my blog post titles lately. I mean, that means I don’t completely exist in a vacuum and that is scary. While I’ll be glad to occasionally answer a “what does that mean” blog title question, I am glad to solve another mystery that I’ve recently been asked.
How do I decide the order of the pictures in the WEEKLY CHALLENGE posts?
I believe when I was asked this question, the person thought I ranked them. I don’t. Believe me. I don’t. I upload all the submissions at the same time, so I post them in the order that they get uploaded. So pictures submitted that are smaller and have a name that is near the front of the alphabet, that picture will probably be near the top. Larger files are usually towards the bottom.
I’m not here to judge art. Unless it is Andy Warhol’s art. That guy sucked. See FACTORY GIRL is you don’t believe me. If it is in a movie it has to be true.
I’m trying to figure yours out spatially. Are you inside of a stump and the ground is on the right hand side of the photo? My center of gravity is off.
I think that you live in a vacuum perhaps least of all people I know.
It will become more apparent when I publish the TREE rejects. Perhaps.
But the camera is sitting inside the tree and pointing straight up. Towards the sky.
