I think that Flowers is a good subject, with Graffiti a close second.
Thanks! : )
My son would like to see “pepper” as a topic – he has a photo in mind
Noted, Marsanne. I’ll add it to our list.
How about baseball?? It is baseball season and I seem to be on a field 6 nights a week with my boys. Eyes might be a fun one too. Thanks for doing this! Really enjoying it!
Great idea, thanks MrsFrecklequeen!
Hi,
Great to have this list, makes it easier to spot the missed themes, shame on me, it’s real tough to keep up with the shooting every single day, but it’s great fun.
I especially liked the mini-bundle week (color, beverages, b&w, etc.) as well as the parallel month challenges, the may alphabet idea is really great.
As here seems to be the place to put its suggestions, find some ideas here:
- home (shoot were you live)
- roof
- eating
- sports (in general, cause baseball is really tough for us here in Europe)
- bridge

pst
Here is a few suggestions
lyric
spin
season where you are
plastic
road
bottle

mess
sidewalk
smile
what’s in your pocket/purse
wheel

twilight zone

mood
I enjoy the daily challenges. I was thinking that since summer is upon us maybe we could do a few themes related to that like:
travel
vacation
suitcase
camping
hiking
I do love the variety of challenges from day to day. They’ve really helped me grow in my creativity and ability. Thanks again.
Thanks Desiree, and all the others, for your suggestions. Jeremy and I appreciate you contributing. We’ll definitely try to add most ideas into the upcoming themes.
How do I sign up to be a part of the 2009 Challenge Topics? I am a novices and would like to try my hand at doing this.
For what it is worth, my strong preference is for topics centered on techniques or formal properties (macro, b&w, bokeh, shadow) rather than those devoted to specific subject matters (truck nose, colander, shoe). At least for me, the former sort of topic makes me push my creative limits, where the latter often makes me drive around looking for the needed object. Perhaps this is just an idiosyncratic preference, but there you have it….

Hello does a regular on here mange to view this website and see it clearly on their mobile phone eg. blackberry? Any tips gratefully received as to which is the best way to view this place on the move. I am looking to change my mobile phone shortly
Andrew, this website should load just fine in a mobile browser. The nice folks at WordPress.com have a clean, built-in, plugin for displaying our content quite nice, on mobile phones.
I tested it just now, on my Android-powered Nexus One. It looks great!
