Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge #115

Welcome to Round #115 of the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges. This challenge is open to any Dgrin member.
It will run from Monday, October 29th, 2012 8:00pm PST time (GMT -8) on through Monday, November 12, 2012 8:00pm PST time (GMT -8).

The topic ready for your interpretation: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

Since everyone has already partied this weekend and the spooky times will be over in a couple days. I decided to forego doing a holiday theme this year in favour of a theme that I have wanted to see done for awhile.

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish is a tribute to the work of one of my favorite childhood authors.
Your goal is to capture an image that reminds us of the famous rhymer.
Dr. Seuss of course.

Please no long rhyming titles, in fact keep your title to a maximum of four words only.
You do not have to use ideas from the book One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, you can choose whichever Dr. Seuss book was/is your favorite.

There are no editing restrictions in this round.

Your Judge:
1 round 72 Hour Public Vote.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your entry is to be submitted directly into a SmugMug gallery. It's pretty simple, just go to the gallery link below, and follow the upload instructions at the top of the page:

Remember, the basics stay the same: 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Do not use a minimal save method (such as "save for web"), and your EXIF will be embedded in your image, no worries!

In my books crazy is good

Oh! the places we'll go with this!

A moment of panic, then... Inspiration!

Then, panic again as I realized -- what I want to shoot is a place I won't be going to until the 12th.
Meaning, I will have to get something usable, come home and process it and get it all loaded before the deadline.

Thanks Sean, I can always count on you to push me to my limits of sanity.

Looking forward to this creative and clever challenge.

Wow, this is going to be a tough one for me. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's entry!

Well, now....this ought to get the ol' creative juices roaring in our veins....
great idea for a challenge.....

And this just in:

Six-year NYPD veteran Gilberto Valle, 28, who worked in Harlem, was arrested Wednesday by federal officers on a conspiracy to kidnap charge Wednesday. The U.S. Attorney’s office said Valle conspired with multiple, unnamed people “to kidnap, rape, torture, kill, cook and cannibalize a number of women.” In what law enforcement sources confirmed was his profile on the online dating site OKCupid, Valle describes himself as a “ very calm individual” with “an endless supply of hilarious short stories from work that can't be made up.” Valle lists his favorite book as “Green Eggs and Ham,”....

Exactly! You know I don't believe in coincidence but this was just too much.

OOOH!!!!!
Love it...

Does the title have to be a rhyme if it is from a Dr. Seuss book?

No it does not have to be a rhyme. The only stipulation is a maximum of 4 words, no more.

One more question: Can we use a well known Dr. Seuss quote or does it have to be a line from a book? I found one, but can't verify that it came from a book.

I will not disqualify it but I recommend keeping it to something that a majority will know and equate to the Dr.

If you feel it is very well known and recognizable then go for it.

The way I read it, the title doesn't have to be a quote from a book, it just has to be more more than 4 words.
And the photo simply has to remind you of Dr Seuss... be Dr Seuss inspired.

*Boy that was timing... must have hit enter at the same time.

Thanks! Donna - did you mean 'four words or less"?

LOL, yesterday was a bad day... I should know better than to speak or write on days like that.
Yes, I meant to say "No more than 4 words".
I should have just deleted when I saw Sean answer you at the same time I attempted to. His answer has me rethinking my original idea for a title.

Can you spoof a book title? As in, it's almost the title?
