Challenges for the week September 13, 2006

Challenge: Far Side – Gary Larson Tribute

Gary Larson created the "Far Side" comic strip in 1980, and it was wildly popular until he discontinued it in 1994. Your challenge is to use your photographic skills to emulate Gary's work. His captions were usually central to the concepts he was exploring, so titling/captioning may be critical here. To see samples of Gary's work, use Google Images and search "Gary Larson Far Side".

"Seed" has a lot of potential meanings; fertilize your imagination for this one, and show us the essence of "seed" your way.

Challenge: Electricity

Take a photograph depicting how electricity has affected society or our environment in a negative or positive way. Something electric should be clearly visible in your photo.
