    Can you edit the picture? If so then you could take pictures of clouds and make them take the shape of something awesome, like two dragons fighting. Title the picture "Cloud Watching."

    Second suggestion, again photo editing would be required. Draw a picture of a girl in a cage and put a key next to the drawing. Edit the picture so that in looks like the girl in the drawing is reaching for the key in order to escape the prison known as art. Title the picture "The Girl in the Drawing."

    Third suggestion, again photo editing would be required. Look at the sky and take a picture. Now, go out at night and take a picture of the sky. Try to make sure that you capture a clear photo of the night sky with as many stars as possible. Once you have both pictures combine them so one sees a clear sky overlapping a sky filled with stars. Like a sunny night sky pretty much. Title the picture "Equinox."

    Final suggestion, no photo editing required. No body is symmetrical, thus no body is perfect. Take a picture of half of your face, or somebody else, then take a picture of the other half and put the pics together. Show that no body is perfect. Title the picture "Asymmetrical Perfection."

    The natural world is both ordinary and/or extraordinary. You could seriously take a picture of clouds and write about the amazing(ness?) and commonality of weather patterns or something like that...

    Take an extreme close-up of an anus. I'm being serious. There actually was an artist who did a whole set of pics of anuses. Don't know who it was though. The pics were really cool, and it wasn't like you instantly knew you were looking at an anus. Most people wouldn't know what it was until you told them.

        Well it's awesome because you have no clue what it is, and it looks so neat, and then you find out it's an anus. I's really amazing. I mean, anuses are so common, but the extreme close-up picture makes it so amazing. So...combo of amazing and common, there ya go, problem solved.

          Ok...so you're saying you want some pictures of my anus? I could take them at REALLY COOL ANGLES if you want. I'll even go as far as coloring it, if you'd like.

            OK, but braid your ass hair and adorn the braids with puka shells, glue some googly eyes right above your anus and put lipstick on your sphincter. Deal?

    My vote is places. The best photos I've seen put me in the mind of the photographer and let me see a place from his/her pov.

    for your assignment though... i'd say "toy cameras" but that's just cos i'm into them right now.

    think "instagram" but... using the real thing - a cheap crappy camera. it's evolved into an art form really.

        well. yeah i've heard him called an ass before

        but at the same time he does have some good information on his site. you'll have to take into consideration he does make money if you clink on links to buy stuff but... that doesn't mean you should just ignore free info when it's there either.
