Bi-Weekly Photography Assignment #17:
"April Fools"
Submission Deadline: Monday, April 1st, Midnight PDT (US) .
April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day, though not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, enemies and neighbors, or sending them on fools' errands, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. In some countries, April Fools' jokes (also called April Fools) are only made before noon on 1 April. Read more here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fool's_Day

I haven't figured out what to do yet...if I see a good prank I can probably shot it...but it's a tough one...

Grant Klein says:
I was thinking about setting up a prank and then photographing it right at the surprise. I dunno. It's tough.

If we get more than two submissions this week I think I'll die from astonishment... if that's possible.

Hey everyone. Next week is a new theme, but I haven't picked one yet.
Suggest a theme here, and I'll pick the best one.

hey Grant - I'll have a think - but I generally don't manage anything regardless!
Sorry that we've all been pretty quiet - I still think this is a good group!

hey Grant, keep smiling - your profile photo should stay that way :)
I suggest "the mundane" - everyday life stuff that are so common we don't see anymore.

I haven't been very involved since I joined, but I plan to start.
Themes:
"Fetishes" ^_^;
Some holidays are coming up soon also-
"April Fools"- I personally think this could be fun.
Hope that helped.

Grant Klein says:
Those are good. Thanks for contributing. Keep submitting more theme ideas, we can always use them for future weeks too. I'll pick one on Tuesday.

I second the nod on "Spring" - even though it'd likely be "Autumn" for those down under.

it is - I like the colours on that and I like the simplicity of the oppressed lesbian's - and I don't need to say it but yet again... I failed! No pics - and that topic wasn't exactly hard to do.

The idea comes because I currently find myself parched. What beverage is your favourite thirst quencher? Can you do it justice with a camera in return for what it does to satisfy your thirst? It can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic. It can be water. It can be tea. It can be coffee. It can be milk. It can be a sports drink. It can be just about anything you like...just try to make it look sexy.

I swear I will try and get one in this week. Since there are only about two submissions a week. I have pretty good odds.

Theme: Bridges at Night
Title: The Liberty Bridge - Greenville, South Carolina

moo says:
both your bridge pics look great - we don't have any interesting bridges near here where I live sadly, so even if I did have till the weeked as I'd thought, I doubt I'd be able to get anything half as good as these...

the Rested Traveler says:
This was from around 8:00pm last night. We may very well have seen one another if you were out and about, too. I saw a few other people out with cameras and tripods last night, so can I assume one of 'em was you?
moo: ANY bridge can be an interesting bridge as long as it is illumnated properly at night. Check these relatively plain old bridges out (I took this one last night too - can use it as an alternate, I suppose, if there's a rule against people photographing the same bridge):

I think I'm looking for excuses RT! Btw - has the deadline now passed or do we have till after the weekend - because I certainly DON'T have anything just yet...

I left right around 8pm. I was over taking pictures of my office (Same building as Latitudes) towards the end of my shoot.

the Rested Traveler says:
moo: I think the deadline is at 08:00 GMT on Wednesday, 30-JAN-2008, for you...so you've still got time. :-)
mbsurf: I didn't venture down toward that part of Main. I had parked in the Bowater Garage and had done a loop around Falls Park from about 6:00pm through 8:30pm, starting with the Swamp Rabbit bridge and finishing with the Liberty bridge.

that's tomorrow morning - I'm sitting at home now and it's 9.15 (and bloody cold and wet out so I'm not going out tonight) and I have to be at my desk at 8am tomorrow am which means I would need to get a photo on the way into work - and I KNOW there are no bridges there ...
Looks like I'm a failure yet again!
(we always used to have 2 weeks for these assignments...)
:(

the Rested Traveler says:
I thought it was 2 weeks, too. I'll move to extend the deadline in the assignment post below. Maybe someone will second the motion and Grant will extend it for everyone.

Jeff Taylor Photography says:
VOTE!! I like this shot slightly better than the other one because it shows more perspective of the area...

Grant Klein says:
The moderator for this group sucks. I can't wait until Virb has more group features so it is less work to actually run a group.
Happy Sunday everyone. Any interest in a photo assignment? I'm changing the rules to a lot less rules. Any ideas?

I'll give it some thought Grant - it seems a shame that there are 269 potential participiants and no action.
How about getting rid of deadlines for a start. Announce a theme and let people post (yeah, I know that didn't work too well - may need to rethink that part)...
Maybe something along the lines of "My favourite..." then everyone can post a pic of their favourite - location, colour, food, hairstyle, animal ... that sort of thing.
Or, a bit like the Visual Connections group - someone post a picture then someone else provides one of their own that reminds them of it - a sort of photo tag if you like.
I don't know. These groups come and go - I have loads that are more or less abandonded then spring to life if a new person joins and decides to play (for example my numbers photo group - safety in numbers - that goes quiet for months at a time).
I wouldn't give up just yet, but I can see your frustration with it all.

thanks moo. glad you at least replied. I like the idea of a visual connections group.

i just always forget to check here and usually seem to miss new comments...
@moo if you can give me a heads up about new assignments i'd love to participate...

moo says:
I'm as bad as everyone else though, in that I promise to take part then never do. I'm ok with comments, and posting pics when I don't feel I have to, or there's a deadline, but as soon as the pressure is on (and I know it's unintentional pressure, just my own mind) then I go to pieces and my mind goes blank.
I'd let you know kihntoh but don't count on it. I'm thinking of cutting back myself anyway - been far too grouchy and moody lately and I don't think the amount of time I spend online can be helping that. I'm not liking the person I'm becoming right now and I need to reassess where I'm going with all this.

first time respondee. I check it as often as I can but it does seem quiet around these parts. I'd participate if there was one. it would give me something to do in between my travels and jobs.
