“Finales” Photo By: Mike

As I sit back and reminisce the last 2 years of photos I am thinking of somewhere over the rainbow. 144 photos in 2010 and 154 photos in 2011. The random theme machine has been disabled and soon to be released for download to the world.

C’est la Vie

I have taken this photo many times before. The lights on the tree give me hope. They remind me that I should give not of gift but of the heart.

“Hope Lighted" Photo By: Mike

I really don’t need to press the red button. There is only one theme left, but I pressed the button anyway. The F.R.Id.Ge ”(F)ully (R)andom (I)ndependent (G)enerator” or theme generator for short has served us well. Once the machine has spun it’s last cycle it will be powered off. The last theme and last hope of ever getting an entry in the 52 week experiment is:

“Self Portrait”

A self portrait is self explanatory. Take a portrait shot of yourself.  Anybody with a camera device should be able take a photo of themselves. Courage maybe needed to take a self portrait. The best ones are somewhat revealing. 2010 – Self Portrait and an Image Search. 

As always, and your last chance, it’s up to your interpretation, take and submit the photo in a week and If you submit it, I’ll post it. Submit at 52week@waxenmedia.com. FAQS

I quietly pressed the red button knowing this is the 2nd to the last time I will be running the random theme machine. It worked as usual, running in circles until it faithfully printed out the theme:

“Hope”

Hope as a theme has unbound inspiration. Go find hope and take her picture. I shall await the results. I would ask her permission to take the photo first. 2010 – hope and Image Search.

“My Viewpoint” Photo By: Mike

The random theme machine is running slow but soon it will cease to run at all. Only three more presses of the red button and one of them is now.

“Wet”

It has indeed been a tearful week. Last week one had to get dirty by getting down on their knees to get a photo from a different viewpoint. This week I suspect more than one person will get wet. 2010 – Wet and an Image Search.

I’m not sure this use of the Rule of Thirds enhanced this photo any.

I ran the random theme machine solo today. It gave me a different viewpoint. Which is what the theme ended up being.

“Viewpoint”

Viewpoint as a photography theme means, other than the normal human height forward facing viewpoint. Remember, it’s OK to get dirty for photography. So get down on your knees or even lay on the ground for this one.  Blues Inspiration, 2010 – Viewpoint and an Image Search.
