Game Status: Finished.

twentysomething/Carolin	"My initial shot refers to the subject 'secrets'."
---
terbergk/Kees	"I assume that the theme is a snail-mail love letter. Being unable to acquire a simple envelope I turned to a bottle. ;¬) "
---
schauder/Jens	"I decided the theme is 'Fake message in a bottle'"
---
molter/Marco	"Theme: The Police, 'Message in a bottle'. Since I hadn't a toy Police car, I used a big bee, to mean 'sting' ;-) Minimalist composition."
---
Randem	"In the previous image I saw a message in a bottle, which I interpreted as a theme of communication. To continue on that theme, I carried over the recycling of a food container for use in communication by building the classic 'soup can telephone'. Since I received the whisper about an hour after my models left last night, I was stuck working with a ham -- myself. Some people belong BEHIND the lens, not in front of it"
---
steveinvictoria/Steve	"I interpreted the last photo as 'old fashioned communications'. Sometimes, even with all the most modern hi-tech gear at our disposal, a good old fashioned letter is hard to beat..."
---
matt/Matt	"I saw the computer vs the paper as old vs new, and considered it the theme. The cell phones vs the desk phone also hinted at the same idea. I left the candle in my version because it was there on the desk and I didn't feel like moving it, and because it refelcted in the table, as the paper did in the screen of the previous shot. I think the EOS 1 vs Vivitar XV-3 both with their respective 50mm primes and the USB data pen vs the floppy disk echo the theme. The floppy is not very visible but is in front of the Canon. "
---
suzi/Suzi	"I couldn't tell what was in front of the two cameras on the whisper sent to me so I assume the 2 cameras are the main subject. From cameras we get pictures or art, as we do with paints and brushes. So the theme is art."
---
jfdavis58/John	"To me this says something about the start of a new creation; the neat groupings of carefully selected colors, some pattern or inspiration to draw forth a new idea, a clean palette, and fresh with unmixed color/media; a new beginning. There are some interesting anomalies as well: primary colors in even rows might signify a beginner, yet the choice of medium and type imply great experience. And then there is the finished piece peeking from the corner: inspiration or emulation? And what looks like a book: a sketchbook where an idea grew, a similar pattern to grow upon, or simple instructions for a beginner? Much to think about, hmmm..."

de3euk/Gert	"Theme: Tools of the trade/craft I first made a shot of some of my photo gear, even though it mimicked the composition of the previous shot nicely I wondered if somebody might have already done that, so here are the tools of the trade that I make my money with: computer programming."

From schauder/Jens (1,018) on June 16, 2005 8:16:24 AM CDT In deed and it is way cool how the interpretation changed. And it was big fun to participate Reply

From bluetexasbonnie/Bonnie (8,412) on June 16, 2005 7:56:19 AM CDT These are so much fun! and informative too. I love reading the thought process behind each shot. Reply

From terbergk/Kees (33,645) on June 16, 2005 5:46:20 PM CDT Bugger, I was really far off the mark... I love the way the whisper progressed though. Nice work all of you who participated and sorry for throwing everyone so far off the track... Nice one Oliver! This was a great round! Reply

From deleted89135/deleted (2,399) on June 18, 2005 11:15:18 PM CDT What a great progression! The funny thing is, the person I showed my whisper to came up with old vs new that Matt was conveying to me and I kind of pishawed that and that is what it was. I guess I sent it in a way different direction... Reply
