I can't resist making this week's theme luck. Good luck or bad luck, that's up to you. How you represent luck is wide open for interpretation as well. Will it be traditional symbols like spilled salt, four-leaf clovers, and walking under ladders? Or will you chose to show luck in action...

Your cousins climbing a tree and not being able to get down again. There are so many great photographic opportunities at Thanksgiving that you just can't leave your camera at home.

Weekly Assignment 10 - Fall Foliage
This week's assignment is fall foliage! The fall foliage color is really popping quickly now in most locations so its time to move quickly. Don't forget that with fall/winter skies the intense blue can really increase the dramatic contrast of colors in the foliage.

his week's assignment is trees. Trees come in an infinite variety of types and shapes and sizes. Some are tall while others are short. Some are alive with leaves while others are dead and leafless. What do you think of when you think of trees? Show us your vision of what "trees" means.

Weekly Assignment 4 - Motion
This week's assignment is motion. Photography is a static medium. That means that it is still, it doesn't move. Conveying a sense of motion in that static medium is often essential to capturing a scene and/or emotion. This week I want you to convey motion in your images. Blur it, stop it, suggest it.
