To be fair, I think it's impossible to shoot nothing.

Perhaps a more useful description? Something like "Empty spaces void of significant content"

Nothing is impossible

Ps. To be fair...I did give lots of links for ideas and possible examples. Let your mind do the rest :)

Nothing doesn't reflect light. You'd have to shoot the somethings around the nothing in a way that makes it obvious that nothing is present.

Sure, but there's a small problem there, you've assumed the average voter and or entrant will read this thread, and follow the links.

Never happens. ;)

Call it the "Seinfeld Challenge" :-)

And:

There is nothing
to do or say,
no way
other than forward,
such pace
as I mark time.
Let me leave here
a mark, a
way through Fred's mind.


(apologies to Robert Creeley)

GREAT challenge topic, Fred! +1

The cynic in me says it's because they're all idiots.

The truth is that, for whatever reason, people seem to understand, enter, and vote based on the challenge title, often with little or no regard for even the challenge description. =

Surely, of all possible challenge topics, "Nothing" ranks high on the list of those that need no description?

Would be interesting to see the various interpretations of people here by their irrespective entries. Nothing is what it seems. ;)

Maybe this suggestion will come to nothing :(

:)

In truth, I think this would be best run without a description, for to describe nothing with more than nothing would be a fallacy in itself.

Of course, photographing nothing is impossible, so that would be difficult to vote on. Then again, I'm a literal sort of fellow, and generally tend to despise this sort of word play.

To shoot nothing, how do you do this? Simple - by leaving your camera in the closet. Anything more and you've failed to shoot nothing.

Don't let me discourage you - frankly the suggestion is fine. I just don't get on well with impossible tasks. ;)
