With one day left for "pop" contest and three for "spinning" the numbers of submissions seem very low, arenĂ¢€™t they!?
Any reflections on that? Are the subjects too astray? Or what?

Here are a list of ideas and if I'm thinking of them I know they are cliche enough to work for Pop Culture:
- Teenage girl lying on her stomach while browsing through a fashion magazine. Maybe a (Scalvertish) spoof on that idea could be using an old lady dressed youngish doing the same thing.
- People walking or standing near a large ad/billboard (make sure it has a person in it.)
- Image processed to look Andy Warhol like. I bet you could also find some warped glass that could display multiple images of a person's face.
- The iPod wearing youth (I just said youth argh!). Do it like the U2 commercial while remaining photographic looking and I'm sure it's bound for a high score especially if the background is a sunset.
- Fly to Southeast Asia and take some local kids to the beach. Give each a coke and have them all jump up in the air. That'll be good for a ribbon.
Ok that's enough for now. :P |

| I'm in with a "Pop Culture" shot - and in for another superly average 5.something no doubt (my current trend) - I'm so far out of knowing what pop culture is about, that this is coming from a purely Bohemian perspective of what "Pop Culture" means. Got my props lined up and ready for tomorrow to shoot a spinning image - hope it doesn't rain, snow or blow a 50 km wind. |

Thanks!!
I think there are quite a few people thwaking their heads reading that... especially if they have something similar hehe...
Okay my friends/models bailed on me ... Everyone seems to think I run a coughporncough site in the back or something.. They believe I'll glue their heads on ppl and make lots of money..
I actually did develop an idea for pop but I'm sick in bed .. never go out in the rain while taking pics for the other challenge... I decided inanimate objects were better models any day of the month for spinning ...took only two pics before I got spooked and ran inside .. my camera flashed and apparently so did mother nature's.. metal and electricity.. not the best combination..

| One must look at these trends optimisticly, I just submitted my "Pop" entry, and am guaranteed a 'Top 50' finish, providing no one else enters. |
