Rather than clog up the photo section with a thread to pick a theme each week, we can use this one and just keep adding to it.

Sounds like an excellent challenge, so many ways to interpret it!

Movement for week thee then seeing as how there's such a consensus early on :) - we can come back here for week four suggestions.
I do like these suggestions that are so open to interpretation. The first few weeks have had a really diverse set of photos :)

I was looking at the entries to the current challenge and then got sidetracked looking at some of the Flickr photos that some of the people had. After looking at this entry by thesirdanny, I discovered his Jump Set on Flickr.
A future theme: Jump ?

Pending a better way of doing this, Could each of the people who have suggested more than one theme pick their own favourite out of their suggestions and we'll use that. We'll use the people's choices in the order they were posted above so...
Week 3
jctdesign - movement or speed?
Week 4
publicenergy - jump *confirmed*
Week 5
ozone42 - flight *confirmed*
Week 6
joenewbreed - gamble, final, inside, outside, outcast or system
Week 7
thesirdanny - conversation *confirmed*
Week 8
kruno - strange portrait, back to 70', minimalism, Bresson, my favorite photo, contrast, communication or reflection
Week 9
Cas - New *confirmed*
While all this is happening, if we have more suggestions for later weeks or suggestions about better ways of doing this then please post!

These are great themes. Can't wait.
So do I need to narrow between movement and speed? Movement it is then.
publicenergy
Written Mar. 20, 2007 / Report /
Yeah that's good Movement for week 3 then :)
This just seemed like a good way to let everyone have one of their themes used. All of the ones suggested that aren't picked now can be used in later weeks anyway.

From my suggestions, let be "minimalism" for the first time.

I tend to like 'things'. That way you get interesting perspectives from people. Helps you look at things a little bit differently. (Well, now that I say that, I guess all the topics do that!)
Suggestions:
Mailboxes
Fences
Swings

As far as Week 6 goes, I'm gonna have to go with "Alpha"
Origin

Is that a confirmation for week 6 as "Alpha" ?
publicenergy
Written Apr. 8, 2007 / Report /
Yep :) - The next four weeks is looking like this...
Then, we need the following people to pick one of their suggestions...
While all of this is happening, if anyone has any suggestions about making this better, please post them :)

@publicenergy - I will pick... hmmm... mailboxes! Be creative... There is a lot of good stuff out there...

how about electricity?
joenewbreed
Written Apr. 25, 2007 / Report /
Here's one for the future: Oldschool
Kamigoroshi
Written May. 11, 2007 / Report /
"Black" would be simple enough
publicenergy
Written May. 15, 2007 / Report /
Week 11 - Mailboxes (suggested by blolive)
Week 12 - Black (suggested by Kamigoroshi)
Week 13 - Vertical Orientation (suggested by Ozone42)
Week 14 - Electricity (suggested by RightOn)
Week 15 - Oldschool (suggested by joenewbreed)
Week 16 - Don't Think, Just Shoot (suggested by publicenergy)
There is one suggestion missed out, but that was from someone who played no further part in Notes after the suggestion so I'll discount that one.
I added one of my own for Week 16 (I know, taking liberties!)
Also, week 10 is about to come to a close, should we continue the way we are doing, or has anyone got any suggestions for doing anything differently?
One thought I had was for the person who suggests the theme to post it on their blog and then ask people to reply to that.
I'm all ears though - please post any suggestions!

I wouldn't mind the posting on the blog thing but seeing as I try NOT to do personal things as much as possible on my blog that would be a little off for me.
publicenergy

Just a thought - it probably makes more sense to keep it all here really now I've thought about it for more than a second! :)

I think it would be cool if someone WANTED to... if they had a theme suggestion used and something to give away to offer a reward to the winner of that week.
That is if a 'fair' way to determine a winner.

I would prefer keeping it here...but...for anyone else who wanted to, they could post it to their blog, in addition to it being posted here.
