Weekly Challenge #72: Technology

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm hoping this theme will draw a wide variety of subjects. I'm not even going to post an example, as "interpret the theme as widely as you like" applies. I can't stay and chat too much, my son has been sick.

Good luck with the contest!


Please submit entries until midnight EST on Thursday, October 2, 2008.

________________________________________

The rules:
1. Post ONE photo (max 1000x1000).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme. It can be color or B&W, your choice.
3. You can offer as much or as little additional information as you wish, but if you have to explain it, it probably doesn’t communicate what you are trying for.
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and chose 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 camera will do or a Samsung DSLR.

Some nice takes on technology all ! Well I thought about it and decided like the first poster russblack (nice Mac BTW) decided on the home office. There are computers , printers , cell phones., camera's , dvd player, LCD TV, routers , modems, etc... When people see it for the first time they just shake their heads. BTW all my camera gear is in the office as well , just not in this picture. (and yes I consider myself a geek ) The picture of my head on a stick is a subject for a whole new thread.

Thanks Dave it looks like you need to start to go vertical with your next layer of monitors. I tried to do the picture within the picture on the Mac as well.
