In the last challenge, Oldschool had us quote the old song "Sign, sign, everywhere a sign". This challenge I want you to post pictures that could be used to represent the name of a real band.

This competition is open from now until 7 AM EDT(Eastern Daylight Time) on Monday April 23rd 2012.

The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung DSLR) camera will do.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.


Good luck to everyone.

Tim

I'm waiting for the Barenaked Ladies!

Well, this challenge is supposed to be over, but I just found it... It's a great idea!

Wonder if I need to explain this one... Makes me want to listen to Highway to Hell!

The challenge is open until Monday morning on the 23rd. I've fixed the initial post. If your image isn't ACDC, you better explain it.

Although Rense's picture is a really an as detailed as you can find one (I guess from the colors it's an after meeting Yoko Ono one) I have an older one of the group with their original black suits
So I hope you don't mind the repeating. From left to right Ringo, John, George and Paul (preparing for solo carrier if I remember correct)

I thought to represent this band, it needed a bit of a different take of a photo of a squirrel. This squirrel was trying to stay cool in 110+ weather in Houston, Texas last summer.
