Challenge: Words to Photographs



You've had your technical skills challenged a bit so now exercise your interpretive and creative skills.  I want you to create an illustration of a song title or lyrics, movie title or quote.  It can be humorous, silly, serious or obscure (well, only slightly obscure).  Do it any way you'd like but make sure the quality is there.  This doesn't mean you can throw away your photographic skills--just use them to create a story.  New shots only, B&W or color, no snapshots--you must think it through.

Do I have examples for you?  Hell no!  Put on your big-girl panties and figure this one out on your own! 

Just stretch your imaginations and go.

I loved all the efforts to understand B&W photography and appreciate your trying.  (Even though Turbo, Mr. Q and SG are probably never going to be fans of B&W.  Nor is Buccaneer Bruce.  But I chalk that up to his having to see the world with a patch over one eye.  Aaarrrrrr.)  Thank you to Pyro for his challenge.  And I extend my apologies for not having participated.  Normally, I would do anything PyGuy asked. 

Go.  Do.

  • I wanted to do this as a challenge the first time I was ever asked to take the challenge hotspot.  I decided not to do it but I'm glad someone else thinks like me.  I set the challenge and since you didn't have a name for the challenge I made something up.  Hope it works for you.

    Thanks pyguy for the b&w challenge!

  • Well, that's just plain mean Bear.

    EMF, would "interpretations of prose" be too cumbersome, too unclear?
