Not that I've seen or heard. HEY, LET'S PLAY A GAME!!! I think that we should get going with some suggestions. That way Adelheid will have something to work with (she'll only have to whittle it down from about 150 suggestions to 12 themes). Okay, I'll start. We could do a Black and White gallery, 'cause we always do that once a year. We could resurrect a Synchronicity gallery. I know there've been complaints in the past, but we didn't do it last year - we could try it again, just to see what happens. After all, unlike past years, people can always enter a non-themed photo that month, so no one will be "left out in the cold" as it were. I know that a true macro gallery has been (rightly) nixed, as not everyone has the equipment, but maybe we could have a "Small" gallery. Or, to narrow it down a bit, "Smaller than a Breadbox". That could be fun... Food. I don't recall having a food gallery in the past. Paul Stenquist would win <g>, but I'd like to take a shot at making edible things blurry <g>. I kind of like the "emotion" themes we've had in the past. One can really go to town interpreting those babies, and it's interesting to see how everyone puts that sort of thing into an image. Something like Happy, Sad, Joy, Surprise. Not all of those, of course, but for one month it would be a blast, IMHO. How about "old things". We could call it Anachronisms or something. I'd send in a pic of my ex-wife (she better not see this) <g>. I could go on, but I think I'll leave the real good ones for those with imaginations. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
