The PUGmeisters seem to be very open to a liberal interpretation of themes,
as long as you stick to the rule of using Pentax equipment. "Architecture"
could include all sorts of images of buildings -- large, small, old, new, or
otherwise. But what about unique shots of an architect's drafting work? Or
perhaps an "architect" at work? Could be a "real" professional architect,
or a youthful would-be architect putting the finishing artistic touches to
his/her latest creation? For that matter, why not an interpretation based
on the "architecture" of computer chips? You're only limited by your
imagination.
Now here's a really spooky thing I just noticed. For fun, I just started up
my Microsoft Bookshelf program so I could find the definition of
"Architecture" in the CD-ROM dictionary. When it starts up, it displays the
"Quote of the Day". Guess what random subject it just happened to display?
Architecture!! Yikes, this is getting a little weird. For what it's worth,
the quote was: "All architecture is great architecture after sunset;
perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks."
(G. K. Chesterton, 1874-1936, British author). I'm anxious to see what sort
of creative treatment next month's theme gets.
