Looking for an Idea?

1) Browse the Forums for 5 minutes. No more.
2) Feel free to check out the Bios of up to 2 people who have placed a quote of some kind in their signature file. (Maybe 5 more minutes)
3) Take that quote, or another from one of those two people's Bios and go find a scene or create one that embodies that quotation. Try to shoot from the perspective you think that the person who embraced the quote would shoot from.

Happy Coloring!

Oh, I'm full of 'em. here's where my name comes from:

"Whereas the truth is that fullness of soul can sometimes overflow in utter vapidity of language, for none of us can ever express the exact measure of his needs or his thoughts or his sorrows. And human speech is like a cracked kettle on which to tap crude rhythmns for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars..." -- Gustave Flaubert, "Madame Bovary"

I am thinking of changing my quote weekly

Been thinking all day 'bout Bear's quote and now I have to go find the subject. This one can't be staged easily and may take some time in the dead of winter to actually track down... ;-)

Arcanist,

Since this "challenge" is unofficial, I'd imagine you could do the whole thing with merging of existing images in photoshop, won't have to leave your computer :-)
