Let's play a little game together on a given theme
Photo by elvismartinezsmith
Hey fellows !
We recently had discussions with @guiguiste, @adbigmilk, @jeabzz and @cc-in-paris about doing series albums, made of photos already existing in our personal archives, on a given theme.
I thought it could be funny to challenge you guys , all those who want to participate in this little game :)

I swear I didn’t smoke too much of these before thinking of this ;)
So here it is. I propose a theme, and those interested may create an album and share it here.
It may be fun AND instructive to compare our ideas on a given theme, and ideally it could even give more ideas to everyone. Let’s see if it works, and if so, someone may propose another theme ?!
There’s nothing to win, it’s just for fun and sharing ! :D
My first theme would be SHADOWS. So let’s focus on photos on which shadows play a significant role.
Have a look at the album I created for the occasion in the second comment below
And do your own!
Do not hesitate to give feedback, more ideas, everything you think of !

Ready, steady, GO!!
Hope you’ll enjoy :)
Lomo on !

@all thanks for the quick feedback :D
@mephisto sure
@mikahsupageek wow that was fast, and great stuffs, really dig the 4th image with the Horizon!
@stratski good occasion to start :)
@warning I didn't know about Damien Jurado! Dark but nice! I'd also recommend Shadowboxer by Fiona Apple :)
@sebastianerras or you can create one with existing but even greater if you have some unreleased stuffs to show us :)
@maria_vlachou wow the one with the pigeons (and their shadows) is great!!
@quaisoir cooool don't worry
@werriston thanks mate

especially interesting for me to make a selection of my shadow shots, as with Katoun we have a kind of ritual to take a photo of our both shadows together in almost every country/place we visited... :))

Really like this 'games' idea, Elvis - and I loved your shadows album too! I don't have an album's worth of shadow shots myself, so will have to sit this one out. However, I look forward to the next theme you propose - especially if it's, say, pigs flying over Battersea power station...? Only kidding ;-)

I would love to have a shoe competition :)
dabai
shots of friends with their beloved lomo cameras? :D
deepfried_goodness
@http://www.lomograph(…)rashpilotin : Hmmnn . . . call it "Put your Best Foot Forward"
moodification
How about that as next theme: Silhouettes?!
adi_totp
next theme? self portraits! hahahahaha :D
cc-in-paris
I like the shoes idea! @trashpilotin
and would like to purpose light flares! :p

what about reflection ??
but will it a bit similar to shadows theme :P

Umbrellas!!!

Here's my contribution :-) http://www.lomograph(…)you-shadows
pussylove
I also need time!!!! (and a good lab in Paris, not easy...^.^)
elvismartinezsmith
hmmmm I'd like to find a theme that is not too easy (so that everyone has to dig a bit to find pics) and not too hard (so that still many can participate). Right now among all given ideas @cc-in-paris's light flares is maybe the one fitting best, but let's think about it one more day :P
ghidini
avatars, some of them are really bizarre. For me, that's is a good theme.
elvismartinezsmith
@ghidini what do you mean avatars?? can you explain? :)
ghidini
Profile pictures, mate
elvismartinezsmith
@ghidini aka self portraits, yeah why not but a bit easy don't you think??
@cc-in-paris and @trashpilotin same for shoes don't you think? Maybe shoes without a foot inside hahaha
trashpilotin
yeah, it's kind of easy but maybe we could limit the pix so that everyone has to choose really careful!
I like lightflares by the way, too!
albeelee
great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here's mine :P
http://www.lomograph(…)you-shadows
thanks :)
quaisoir
shoes can be fun. :)
jennson
great idea!! need some time.. I´m on a vacation!

Mines kind of a loose interpretation too im afraid... I need more shadow pics. Thanks for the inspiration :D http://www.lomograph(…)s-for-elvis
