Have you ever thought of how crazy it is that the people on this site, or photographers and artists in general can look at the same exact subject in such a different way? That we can find one object, yet the photographs that spawn from our imaginations of that exact same object are completely and totally different.
I propose a weekly challenge! Each week, on Friday, I will name an object that we all take a photo of. Then we post them on this thread and see how completely different each of us saw that object! (and of course suggestions for objects each week are COMPLETELY welcome!)
How about this week we do...*drumroll please*....a soda can.
Put your creative caps on people...what can YOU do with a soda can??
Let's tag this week's can "objectchallenge-can".
Fantastic idea and I already have the perfect can in mind!!! Now I can't wait to get home and play. Thanks for the awesome idea. I am always up for a good challenge and something that is just once per week is perfect. =D
Not because cutting cans up is inherently dangerous, but because cutting a 7up can up and sticking a plastic figurine from an old Japanese comic inside it and pretending the figurine built the "armour" itself as part of an ongoing war against you is straight retarded.
@redkite - we do have recycling places here too but they are few and far between plus people get paid to take their cans there. I'm sure all the local garbage bins would have plenty in them along with all the garbage - no thank you!
I could always go and buy a can of something but after seeing all the absolutely amazing entries into this competition I really can't be bothered.
Funnily enough, this fit with a bunch I took today under the theme of "things they can climb" in relation to some small dolls I have. A soda can worked well.
@rudit You've got all week to knock one out if you want to!! It's a week long thing, though you only need to do one day's worth so it doesn't consume your week :) I'm anxious to see!!
@amyhuges Great idea!! Already so many fun entries too! It's nice to have different themes to keep us all inspired and creative. I'll have to think something fun up. Thanks for adding this! :)
@amyhughes Haha thanks! :) I never thought I'd be 1) laying on the ground taking a picture of Jesus and a Dr. Pepper can, or 2) using "render clouds" for the 2nd time in week. hehehe
@robynelizabeth OMG!! We have the Dr. Pepper bottling company here in town (Dallas, TX). Wonder If I could FedEx you one!?! @tolpol No kidding, right? I'm sure there are things in Australia that I have never tried and would love to!
@sdspace. Australia has friggin amazing chocolates. Ask for some of those, lol. I am from Arkansas but I have a friend from another site who is from Australia who sent me some as a secret santa thing a few years back. I don't remember the name of them but they were great.
I just loved the look of these cans. Glad of the excuse to take some snaps of them. I like how Golden Circle (an Australian Fruit juice company) has used internet lingo LOL (Lots of Laughs or Laughing Out Loud) to appeal to a younger market. I like the bizarre thought of a laughing can. The sparkly sodafied juice is pretty good too.
@gkf2 After you add your picture to your project...look on the bottom right-hand side. You will see "share" copy and paste code -- copy that address into here and your picture will appear after you click post. Good luck!
@robynelizabeth Good old Tasmania...to be honest I think one of the 'old fashioned' Lolly shops Along the highway between Launceston and Hobart still sells it.
@robynelizabeth You can get it here now, you just need to know where to shop. I'm in NSW and have found it in 2 different shops but one is incredibly overpriced as in $70 for the cube type box.
@elisabeth lol... it's on the bottom right hand side of the page when you are viewing the pic. It says "Share" there and has some code in a box, make sure you copy it all and paste. It's right under the tags you put on your pic I believe.
Tweets ahoy!

When everyone is water, I am lemonade

Recycle soda cans to a flower pot.
