damn for a change i have an abundance of ideas....though i think getting a shot of a nuclear explosion may be difficult so that one may be out the window :P

I know this will come up...

What if someone just takes a photo for any year and enters it? Is using a year other then your real birth year reason for DQ, or just a public beating?

I just checked //www.historycentral.com/20th/ for ideas. Lots of great ideas..

If I could just get the Beatles back together and have them pose on the steps of an airplane at JFK airport....

I was born so long ago I don't have hardly anything around that even existed back when I was born.

(Although I do admit that my portfolio here has an item that might date back to the year I was born or perhaps the year after, but it isn't representative of that specific year.)

Same year here. Not that boring: I was born :-)))

Well, as for the ideas, I got a super one....I only need one chinese family with one child and I'll do "One Child Policy in China -1979" ...mrrrr, I'm in Belgium and no chinese friends :-(((
maybe someone else could do it...zut, for once I had a great idea, I could only see the picture in my head...but I have no "material" :-(

I'm a 58'er myself - but no labrador for me. I was more looking at "The Vikings" (being a Dane you know) :)

Problem is of course that nobody remembers that movie today and my entry would probably be interpreted like I was born in the days of the vikings...

Found a couple of cool things from 1972 but don't know if I'll have the time to work up a fair composition.

I've got a few ideas for this challenge - but the problem is that none of them fits my year of birth...

So, if I decided to go for one of them, would I risk a DQ...?

(Don't suppose I would, but better be safe...)

Oh, that's GREAT! Ask your butcher for a whole calf's liver and borrow some surgical tools from a friendly surgeon... Gawd, I love it! I promise a 10 if you do it!
