I think I have a theme!!!

Last edited Mon Feb 8, 2016, 08:28 PM - Edit history (1)

It looks, from the poll and comments, as though we have some consensus on an idea that is pretty broad and can encompass the other suggested ideas within.

So one last poll among us for a brief period so I can make my announcement by Tuesday/Wednesday or sooner.

I think the February Photo Contest Theme should be...

Back to the Future
as suggested by catnhatnh, thanks for the suggestion!

Definition for "Back to the Future"
Stuff that used to be considered the cutting edge of technology. Alarm clocks that flip over little printed numbers like a rolodex...betamax players...you know-like world of the future stuff from the '64 Worlds Fair....


I think it can encompass powerlines, utilities and almost everything else suggested. What YOU think? (24hr limit on this one.)

since that's more "back to the past," but I'm sure I can come up with something.

I think I'll leave it to the discretion of the host. Host? Bueller?


Adsos, I hope you didn't think that I was disregarding your response when I said I would leave it to the host to decide. I just wanted to get her input, as well.

At one time it was "What hath God wrought"...the awesome newest tech on earth. That was part of my concept-stuff that was all that and now is abandoned to the past....
