Thanks to all who commented on the possible themes. Stan's suggestion (below) is well thought out and, in the interests of maximizing participation, I've used those ideas as a guide (although I've used one out of of Stan's 3rd Category because a couple of people specifically mentioned it).
So (drum roll) here's the tentative list for 2012. Correspondence on the themes is still open if there's anything that you don't like.... January - Minimalist February - Railway March - Shadows April - 15 Years of PUGgery (a general Open Gallery to celebrate the PUG's 15th Anniversary) May - Solitude June - Songlines (pick a song title, take a picture) July - Close Up/Macro August - Water September - Blue October - Doors November - Prime Time (non-zoom photography) December - Oldness On Monday, October 03, 2011 12:26 PM, "Stan Halpin" <[email protected]> wrote: > I hadn't really thought about this before, but it seems that your > suggestions (and possibly themes from ages past as well) fall into three > distinct categories.
