Lisa Poland gave me a couple of alternative get pushed challenges. The one I chose was "take a photo using a setting on your camera you haven't used or don't use much." I explored several things my camera can do, including in-camera editing.
I took a picture of some cardboard boxes stacked up against a wall, applied a "painting" effect and cropped (also in camera) I just liked the way this ended up looking like light was emanating from the open box. (Portal to another world? OK maybe too active an imagination...)
