*** FEBRUARY CONTEST - TOPIC RUN-OFF POLL ***

Last edited Wed Jan 29, 2014, 10:04 AM - Edit history (1)

Thanks for making this easy on me, folks!

P.S.: I should add -- if this one winds up a tie, I pick a topic myself...whether or not it was one of the proposed choices.

I don't want to be a tie breaker with this one, handling grave responsibility is not one of my strong points.
And regnaD kciN: ....it's personal! We're just glad to see you back and involved.

(truth be told I'll be happy with either choice)

Do I vote? Just to make it a tie?

Naw. I can't do that to you since I don't care which it is. But it is tempting.

actually, someone seems to have taken their vote away. It was 11 for graffiti, and 10 for songs.

We're going to have to find a textured, transparent, graffiti based on a song photo!

I'm the one who suggested "based on a song" and changed my mind to vote for graffiti. Doing graffiti pushes me to get out and go to places to find graffiti.

I like the song one because it will push me to stretch my indoor photography skills as I avoid this cold weather!

I suggested graffiti--because I encountered a lot of it on our trip to Europe. I'm having a hard
time with 'based on a song' because I was holding back a photo I could use for that
to use for Winter--in case we didn't get any snow--but now that I was out and about
yesterday in our snow I have a photo for Winter.

As it turns out, one of my graffiti photos did remind me of a song...so it may show up
as 'based on a song' !

I didn't want to do graffiti because I didn't want to go out into the cold. Then I realized I'm sick of doing stuff at home and I'd rather go out looking for graffiti and now I don't want to do based on a song. What WAS I thinking? The only thing I had for that category isn't appropriate for public viewing and, of course, now that's stuck in my head and I can't think of another song to base a photo on.

I blame this wishy washiness on the weather. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I took a whole series of graffiti photos in Asheville and a month or so later all the buildings came down.
I feel like a chronicler of history when it comes to that occurrence.
