just a quick stop in to post next month's theme for The Photo Trade.  for september the theme will be 'Still'.  focus on creating still life's that celebrate the simplicity and beauty of composition - i would love if you could take it a step further and challenge yourself to limit your compositions to one or two colors.

if you are new to The Trade you can check out our rules here and sign-up here through 29 august.  you will receive your partner's information by 5 september and should mail your photos by 19 september.

also, i am opening up future themes to suggestions so if you have one you have been dying to share, post it in the comment section for consideration.

thank you friends and happy shooting!

how about miniatures?

How about 'linear' or 'curvilinear'?

Hi there! I really, really, really want to join, and I have sent a couple of emails to the photo trade email address. I just haven't gotten a response. :(

I was wondering if maybe my emails got put in your spam folder?

Can you email me since my emailing you doesn't seem to be working?

How about "reflections" as a possible theme? Thanks for all the time you give to this project! xo.

I just signed up! :) I'm so excited! This is such a brilliant idea!

[Julia]

This is a beautiful composition! I really like the idea of keeping things to two colors!

I cannot wait.

[Diane Schuller]

Yes, I love that idea and I'm so glad the trades continue! I'm going to challenge myself to keeping the stills to one or two colours at the most.

I do have an idea for consideration ...

Hands.

Hands hold us; hug us; reach out to touch, pick, create; they connect in love and protection; they range from tender newborn to rough & hardworking to lined with wisdom from age; and so on.

Warmly,
Diane
