Shay has accepted the challenge!!!

After months of putting Dgrinners to the test with Last Photographer Standing contest, Dgrin Artist in Residence Shay Stephens has accepted a challenge to shoot for theme himself.

He'll have the next two weeks to come up with a stunning image and submit it for critique. No pressure Shay! :wink

We need a theme, post your ideas here and we'll then put them to a vote to choose.

    I love it! How brave of him! Now to think of a theme....hmmmm....we've got to make it tough, right?! mwink.gif how about tough or weak. Or maybe dream or nightmare...
    Love to dream, and dream in color.

    My Theme Idea:

    Sensual OR Prudish
    You're only as good as your next photo....
    One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."

    Shay Challenge - I like this idea!
    You wanted ideas, so here's a few...

    Agree or Argue
    Amazing or Appalling
    Build or Demolish
    Contest or Cooperation
    Dessert or Desert
    Edge or Center
    Embellish or Detract
    Judge or Be Judged
    Nature or Nurture
    Power or Weakness
    Randomness or Conformity
    Stray or Play
    Up Up and Away or Dig Down Deep

    (or re-use one of the contest themes we've already done to see how Shay compares?)

    How about having him shoot the "Freedom or Oppression" theme? Seems like that was the hardest one for everybody judging by the number of entries.

    In light of Shay's typically gorgeous and emotion-filled photography, I say you toss him a real challenge: "Boring or dull"

    Hmmm ... how about

    thick or thin
    hell or high water
    yin or yang
    pain or pleasure
    convex or concave


    Come to think of it, I agree with Joe and Song Titles From 80's Hair Bands.

    The Song Theme was done in previous DGRIN Challenge, so I don't think that would be a challenge for SS

    How 'bout

    "Black or White"
    "Truth or Dare"

    Bummer...these 2 came to my mind:

    "Pour Some Sugar On Me" (Hmmmm....maybe a self portrait with boxes of Frosted Flakes?)

    "Rock Me Like A Hurricane" (This one stumps me, but I like the title and song!)

    Oh I see this coming back to bite us...
    mwink.gif Let's see... think of the hardest ideas that we can, provide them to Shay, and then see them pop-up in the next round of themes.... oh boy

    But I have to play also:

    Sid or Nancy
    Normal or Paranormal
    Selfish or Altruistic
    Inboard or Outboard
    Over or Under
    Straight-laced or Wild-at-Heart
    Active or Vegetative
    War or Peace
    Alienate or Befriend

    and last but not least...

    Nikolai or Antonio
