maybe this is a dumb question but what exactly constitutes "Still life"? Is it...anything that isn't moving? or what?

Artemis · Aug 1, 2005

Whatever you make from that title, it could be anything (obviously no porn) that means still life to you...

shoot.

;-)

so...as long as its not moving...?

If you want to be stickler for a definition, here is one that will get you in the ballpark. It is from http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Still_life

A still life is a work of art which represents a subject composed of inanimate objects.

Having said that, feel free to interpret it as you will!

this question pops up every single month. the topic is not a set of rules you have to follow. it's a theme, and can be interpreted however you please. just remember that you might not get as many votes if your photo has nothing to do with the topic.

This'll be a great challenge! And it's finally given me a use for all those bodies I've been stashing away! :cheer:

does this submission have to be a recent photo or can it be one in the storage files?

Chase · Aug 3, 2005

Doesn't have to be new, but we prefer it hasn't been shown here before as to not influence the voting

I just wanted to let everyone know that they can expect delays in response to any submissions.

I am currently in the middle of a move and I do not have Internet at home. I just wanted to let you all know that I may not have my home Internet connected for a week or two. Any submitters may not recieve a response until about the 14th.
I'll try to get back to each person who submits to the challenge as soon as I can.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
