photography ideas - help me brainstorm

[SanFrancisco]

I have a new color photo class with the first project being to photograph saturated colors. The images have to be vivid luminous colors with no shadows or neutral colors. everyone is doing candy and fruit and peppers. Also painted people and painted walls, and this all seems very 80s to me. Anyone have any other ideas for subject matter?

you're welcome..

Questions..? There are a few other photo types here on EF

Sounds like fun.

Maybe different flags. Beautiful, colorful, and full of meaning/power.

These are great ideas! I like the home depot color swatch idea!

I work in a program that has a childrens center so i have access to lots of childrens toys. Among other things im doing a colorful child's xylophone.

And that was a great link. Im trying to put together a stock portfolio myself.

you could eat mashed potatoes colored with different food colorings, drink some syrup of ipecac, and vomit them all over the sidewalk, canvas, religious imagery, or on the backs of gay men having sex sex with one another, and then take photos.

i know this is what it takes to get a good grade in san francisco. just trying to help you out, bro.

[gymrat]

[SanFrancisco]

I have a Mamiya C330 medium format, old. And an Olympus 35 mm. i have not switched to digital.

OT- why do you have need size's pics in your gallery? just curious.

have you thought about crucifying the eater bunny, adorned in dildos of all shapes, sizes, and colors, outside of a catholic church, while throwing buckets of cow blood, feces, urine and semen on it while taking pictures?

i know californians really like that kind of stuff, and it might get you some kind of award from your state legislature, or you might be given a high-ranking position in your state government, or maybe they will rename some park or building after you instead of a founding father, or how you guys know them over there, 'racist, fascist, sexist, biggoted, homophobic, rich, slave-holding biggots, who just happened to be in the right place at the the right time'

we all know how the peoples republic of california thinks and operates.

Im just looking to take some high quality photos dude. Im sure you can engage in a debate about these issues in another thread, it's obvious you're all charged up about something.
