Have you ever seen that picture that *might* be the loch ness monster, but it's probably just a floating log? Well now it's your turn to perpetuate a myth - the myth of superheroes. Go out and take a picture of something that you know isn't a superhero, but could be. Is that Superman, or just a bird? Is that Antman, or do I you need to do abetter job cleaning the kitchen? Who's to say?
Shadow of a Doubt
So far, 24 people have completed this assignment and it has 1769 views.
Take a photograph incorporating shadows as the subject. You don’t have to be a professional photographer, just observe how light and shadow appear in unique and interesting ways. Look at the shadows cast by window blinds on skin or by leaves on a sidewalk or by people. Shadows change in length and darkness depending on the time of day. Shadows can tell you a lot about the actual object being photographed or nothing at all. Tell a story with your picture.
Cipher Typography Photo Images
So far, 5 people have completed this assignment and it has 1446 views.
Using the concepts of typography and silhouetted images, create a set of two visuals using only letters of the alphabet in different letter sizes and colors. In cryptology, ciphers like "asdfghjk" can be decoded as messages like "password". Therefore, create two dual visuals of the same image - one with the cipher gibberish, and one with a decoded message! This can be done either as a digital image collage or using newspapers/other resources to form the visual photos. Additional improvisation is welcomed - underlay a photo under your cipher typographic images, etcetera!
Who Said What
So far, 29 people have completed this assignment and it has 1346 views.
Find a picture of any secret agent you would like, preferrably a fairly well-known one. Next, pick a quote from a similar secret agent character. Finally, attribute said quote to a third similar character. You want the characters you chose to be well-known but also similar enough that people would confuse them with one another.

Use photo editing software of your choice to splice pairs of pictures into single images. Play with scale in delightful ways. See artist Stephen McMennamy's great collection.
Create a silly Movie Poster

The Civil War Photo
So far, 3 people have completed this assignment and it has 1354 views.
Take your best Civil War era photo. Take a picture of yourself in a very stale pose (like you have never had a picture taken in your life) and then edit it afterwards in some sort of grunge black and white style to make it look old. If you want to be very clever, try and make the enviroment around you fit the Civil War era theme of the photo.
