I think that "Butt-Ugly" would be an interesting theme. :) On Wed, Oct 7, 2015 at 9:48 PM, Igor PDML-StR wrote: > > Ann, > Ghm... you prefer "nonhumourous" and "uncute"? ;-) > It's interesting that I had exactly the same reaction about the song one.. > > Brian, > I appreciated the sequence (proximity) of some of the proposed themes, > so I thought of a combined one: "tranquility at rush hour". > And in a similar manner, when I mistook "shed" for "shadow", I thought of > "shadow reflection". > > On a serious note, - I seriously propose "serious" as a serious topic. > And, if the combinations are not accepted, - I suggest "shadow" (not > "shadows"!) > > Best, > > Igor > > > > ann sanfedele Wed, 07 Oct 2015 16:41:17 -0700 wrote: > > I liked the challenge of World photo day - I just wish it were not in > the middle of the summer. > > It was 2012 that we did the music thing? good grief, where has the time > gone? > > Spare me the evaluative adjectives (humorous, cute) as subject matter > please. > > But subjects like "wind" that have multiple meanings are fun, although it > was a tough one for me... guess I'm distracted. > > ann > > > > On 10/7/2015 7:00 PM, Brian Walters wrote: >> >> G'day all >> >> Some suggested themes for 2016: >> >> * World Photo Day - this one was popular this year - worth doing again? >> * Songlines - Pick a Song or Piece of Music and make a photo to suit. >> We did this in 2012 - worth doing again?

Re: PUG Themes for 2016
Ann, Ghm... you prefer "nonhumourous" and "uncute"? ;-) It's interesting that I had exactly the same reaction about the song one.. Brian, I appreciated the sequence (proximity) of some of the proposed themes, so I thought of a combined one: "tranquility at rush hour". And in a similar manner, when I mistook "shed" for "shadow", I thought of "shadow reflection". On a serious note, - I seriously propose "serious" as a serious topic. And, if the combinations are not accepted, - I suggest "shadow" (not "shadows"!)

It was 2012 that we did the music thing? good grief, where has the time gone? Spare me the evaluative adjectives (humorous, cute) as subject matter please. But subjects like "wind" that have multiple meanings are fun, although it was a tough one for me... guess I'm distracted. ann On 10/7/2015 7:00 PM, Brian Walters wrote: G'day all Some suggested themes for 2016: * World Photo Day - this one was popular this year - worth doing again? * Songlines - Pick a Song or Piece of Music and make a photo to suit.

I liked the challenge of World photo day - I just wish it were not in the middle of the summer. It was 2012 that we did the music thing? good grief, where has the time gone? Spare me the evaluative adjectives (humorous, cute) as subject matter please.
