Between them, hermes2015 and Lark agreed on a theme for our new photo challenge: "Alphabet Soup." Use your imagination and it's a theme that is wide open to interpretation. :)
Up to four photos will be accepted from each member, and you have until the end of the month to submit them. Please send them to me via PM or via the email address in my profile: recusantathaf |at| gmail.com.
This is interesting, and very different from past challenges as it gives the interpreter a fairly wide field to operate under I think...this should be good.
Excellent job you two! :drink:
Gah!!! I have no idea! I'm sure inspiration will hit me at some point.....

And here. Mental images only so far, might have to get creative.

I think I've created a monster this time. I thought it would elicit some creative responses, but I also have no clue! Perhaps I should sit this one out, or will I be ostracized for ever?

Got my first one. Bit pathetic but one of a set that I like!
It would not be the same without your offerings, Hemes. I have no idea either so just send something nspirational !
At least I'm not the only one who's finding this a bit of a challenge! I have a couple of ideas but they wouldn't be photos, more like concept art.

Thanks, Lark, I will do my best.
So Lark and Hermes set a challenge neither had a clue what they were going to submit. Shall we try again?

Tank, my feeling is that we should stick to it. My original idea was to suggest a theme that would inspire many different creative interpretations. In the end it may be more rewarding than if we had asked for photos of cute pets, for example. One can think of alphabet soup in the literal sense of edible soup, or in the sense of jumbled signage on a building or a shop front. Another definition of alphabet soup is "
a confusing or confused mixture of things". That will probably be the way I am going to tackle the theme, but let's hear what other members have to say.

We'll stick with this then. :grin:
In my opinion, there's no need to limit interpretation in any way. While hermes2015 has suggested some excellent, viable routes, one could also choose to focus on one or two or even four letters of the alphabet (along the lines of the earlier "Sssss" theme) and submit photos that are intended to represent them in some way.

The end of the month is nigh,
The deadline draws near! :panic:
The line will die,
And reappear.
An 'l', in a soup
Then an 'o', a loop
Followed by 't' and 'z'
Swallowed by me.
Bored bumping. :-X

Thanks, that should inspire more than the usual suspects to enter this time. I hope we get many interesting photos.
B is for butterfly.
I is for insect.
S is for spider.
F is for flower.
I think I've got something ;D

Well, if it does not rain tomorrow I will gird my loins and venture fifth into the vast metropolous of Gloucester in search of inspiration. (And a book and lunch whether I find inspiration or not.)

Come on people, grab your cameras!

. . . Or simply trawl through the photos you have. This is a wide-open theme--it's hard to think of an image that wouldn't qualify. ;D
Yo Recusant! What is the cut-off day for entries for this Campbell Soup Challenge? (I goofed off all last weekend, and have been working my finely dimpled arse off all week, so I need to getting cracking on this)
8)
The date I set was the end of this month, but I'm flexible. If people make a commitment in good faith to submit entries but the timeline is against them, I will adjust.
Nothing like a looming deadline to get all those procrastinators busy (hey, Father Bruno? ;) ).
Live dangerously. 8)
The deadline for submitting entries for this HAF photo challenge is now extended for one week. :)

That's true xSP, but don't you oftentimes work better when your neck is stretched out on the block and your attention is fused on nothing but the project on hand?
Can make life a bit interesting I say!
Anyway I just submitted my stuff today, and it would appear I've still got a week left if I wanted 8)

Oh yeah. Too often has my head nearly rolled from the chopping block, I know the feeling! :sidesmile:
Last call for entries. I'll be posting the poll sometime tomorrow. :)
