Next week - NOT THIS WEEK - but next week, beginning next Monday (21 December), we'll be having another theme week! There will be ANOTHER theme week after that (28 Decemeber)!

CHRISTMAS! Winter Solstice! Noël! Navidad! クリスマス! Weihnachten! What have you, it's that time of year again. The colourful lights are alight, the holiday decorations are set up, the cold (or hot) weather has finally settled in, and holiday cheer is all around. A time for coming together, a time for fun, presents, reverence, and all around happy times. Christmas is by far my most favourite holiday, and I look forward to it every single year with great eagerness. No surprise then that I would want to orchestrate another theme week. :P

And it's an ever-so easy one. Next week, CHRISTMAS themed! We'll be taking pictures of something festive: Christmas trees, Christmas lights, presents under the tree, family dinners/reunions, what have you. I have a feeling all of us at the 7DAC celebrate Christmas. But if you partake in the Solstice/Hannakah/Kwanza, or any other winter-time holiday instead of Christmas, represent it! We'd be happy to see. Feel free to upload 5 photos this week! :]

The week after Christmas is a big time, as it is the beginning of the New Year! When that roles around, we will have another theme week. New Years is a time for recollection of the past 365 days, and a christening of the next 365 to come. Therefore, New Years week, we will be taking photos with another theme in mind. Our theme will be "Resolutions" and "Last Wishes." If you start your new year by making yourself a resolution of a task to complete by the end of the year, try and represent it with a photo! If you don't really like resolutions (like me), take a photo that commemorates your life of one whole year. Feel free to do both, if you'd like! And, feel free to upload 5 photos this week too. Show some fireworks if you go see them!

I'm scheduling these right now because, while the holidays are a lot of fun, I also know they can get pretty hectic. This gives you plenty of time to dream up what you'd like to do for your photos. Make us proud. :]

My photo today is a I took for Suzy Wimbourne (suzypuzz on Flickr) at five in the morning. She's doing this project called the "One Day" project, where essentially, she has been organizing folks together to take one picture at a certain time of day, one picture per photographer. When she compiles all these photos together, she'll end up with one photo for every 15 minutes, which will represent a full 24 hours in a day. I think this'll be really neat! There are a few spots still open if you all would be interested in joining. Check out Suzy's project on Flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/suzypuzz/4101321599/
