Hey, here's an idea for a photo theme: Found Faces. That's where you find a "face" in an inanimate object. I'm sure you've seen them before. Now you have an excuse to go out and look for them. I'm going to recommend that we make it out-of-bounds to actually create a face. So there's no going out and arranging nuts or silverware or twigs or anything to try to form a face. Go out there and find some that already exist. Use your creativity in the form of camera angles, viewpoints, shadows, etc. I don't have one myself at the moment (didn't want to give myself an unfair advantage) so I'll kick off this thread with one stolen from the internet:  |

A most excellent idea for a theme Jake. I'll have to start looking around to something to shoot and post.

The AmEX commercials they've been running on TV lately have quite a few of these.

The AmEX commercials they've been running on TV lately have quite a few of these. Yeah, that's what gave me the idea. I figured we could go out and try to find some ourselves. |

I finally got around to finding a "found face" for this thread! This was in the men's room at O'Hare airport......Jake  |

This was in the men's room at O'Hare airport...... There wasn't anyone tapping his foot in the stall next to yours, was there? |

I like Jakes sense of adventure... having a camera out and taking pictures in an O'Hara mens room does have a good dose of "living life on the edge" element to it.

You should have seen the looks when I dragged in my tripod and reflector.

Hey, am I the only one playing this game? Anyway, here's the next one. Hazelita noticed these flowers glaring at us as we moseyed up Lincoln Avenue for lunch today:  |

I made myself a small omelet this morning, combined with a couple blueberry muffins Ann made for Fathers Day and ...  |

I hope you didn't eat the muffins -- they look moldy in that photo.

That is thanks to the wizardry of my desk lamp combined with the photographic integrity of my cell phone camera

OK, for a minute there, I considered suspecting your wife of attempting foul play (NTTAWWT).

Now that you mention it... I probably am worth a whole lot more dead than alive

An uncle of mine who lives in Alaska has/had a fear of growing old alone. He's 70 years old and his girlfriend said she would marry him if he got a large life insurance policy naming her as the beneficiary. The rest of his brothers gently told him that this woman might not be the best choice but he insisted on getting hitched. Loneliness is a powerful emotion.
Long story short: His brothers and sister all flew out to Vegas for a wedding and celebration. Fast forward to now -- he's filed for divorce, the woman now wants his business put in her name too.
