While this publishes I am sitting in Hilton Coliseum watching the Iowa State Women’s Basketball team play Chicago State. That means that I am not near a computer. That means I can’t name, upload, code and publish what I’m sure are the numerous tremendous submission for the Week 477 theme PLACES. I will get around to publishing the collection of PLACES submissions later today. If I were to guess, they will publish about 8 PM tonight.

However, just because I am rooting on the Cyclones, that doesn’t mean you should delay working on this week’s theme. In fact, feel free to get started on it right away!

So without further adieu, I reveal the theme for this week:

MACRO

MACRO! What a great them for Year 11 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE!

I try not to explain the themes very much any longer, but MACRO is a more technical term, so I’ll give a bit of an explanation. Here is a solid enough definition:

Macro photography is all about showcasing a subject larger than it is in real life — an extreme close-up of something small.

I look forward to your MACRO interpretation.

That’s all I got, so if the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise, about 8 PM today look to see the PLACES submissions publish.
