The Sun up Sun Down would have to be done in a day.<br /><br />BM: The signs idea was my first idea but, while I've found a couple more today, I can't imagine finding enough to meet the 35 pic minimum.<br /><br />GH: I'm really not sure. Obviously I want it to be doable but a little challenge wouldn't hurt either.<br /><br />Phil: I think if I limit it as you suggest, I would not get enough pictures. As for my picture taking ratio, mine is closer to 1/49 which means I would have to take 1,680 pictures (about 140 per hour) to get the 35 I need.Bruce H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00180515178920053080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593970477444543007.post-63332803345947561452009-04-14T14:57:00.000-05:002009-04-14T14:57:00.000-05:00Good concepts, but I think some of them need more ...Good concepts, but I think some of them need more focus. (It's always easier to edit someone else's concepts than my own, I've discovered.)<br /><br />Instead of Neon Signs, do Neon Motel Signs or Neon Bar Signs or hand painted beverage signs, or odd fruit stand signs.<br /><br />Statues of pets or of women or of men wearing hats.<br /><br />Shapes is interesting, but it needs some kind of interplay, or visual punning, something to make it unexpected. Perhaps architectural shapes with nearby people of the same shape. Tough assignment, but it would be very funny.<br /><br />Architecture: Pole Barns of Omaha or Omaha Ho-Down (historic brothels)<br /><br />Sun Up to Sun Down--in a particular location. Make it Day at the Park or Day in the Square. Could be some real interesting human drama here.<br /><br />Color spectrum is well-focused, but would need something to visually and conceptually tie everything together.<br /><br />As far as good-to-bad ratio goes, in the olden days if you had a 1/36 ratio you were a real hot shot.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03211127761388887571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593970477444543007.post-3607136766033184892009-04-14T14:08:00.000-05:002009-04-14T14:08:00.000-05:00I think they all have interesting possibilities. ...I think they all have interesting possibilities. Now let me ask you a question: are you more interested in "doable" or do you want something that will challenge you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593970477444543007.post-31097280841749514832009-04-13T22:25:00.000-05:002009-04-13T22:25:00.000-05:00I like both signs and monuments.

I'm thinking of doing public sculpture here in the Twin Cities, but I also have an idea about "weapons in public", though I don't know if I can find enough of them in this area.The Best Manhttp://www.flickr.com/longhighwaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593970477444543007.post-12530236124826256282009-04-13T19:37:00.000-05:002009-04-13T19:37:00.000-05:00Well I don't want to force you to run around, but ...Well I don't want to force you to run around, but I do like the sound of the last idea.<br /><br />I also like the Color Spectrum idea. I think it would be neat to see what you come up with for that pesky orange and purple. So that one would be a challenge, but hopefully with less running around than the Sun Up to Sun Down?Vickyhttp://tgaw.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
