buy a toy gun, that looks real-ish, and throw it in teh dirt or among some ruble somewhere...

no dice...

Perhaps I did the opposite of the example by starting with something banal and turning it into something different...here:
Objective

i am pretty sure that falls under abstract photography...

So? Is that not allowed? It is clearly an 'object'.

[Alvin]

ok, now i see it, but it has to be an object (even though the example is an animal for some reason...)

Oops. Sorry. The object was supposed to be the computer. Silly me.

Seeing how computerized music is becoming...I thought it fitting.

honestly, i dunno... i'm gonna take some risks over the next week and i will let you guys know how it goes... i don't have a scanner so it might take me a while to show you all my final choice...

why not? I think it's genius. A gun, on the ground, covered by dirt and rocks. It can mean so many things...

If it is for a college (University) project, then take a Jesus figurine and put him on a beer keg.

That'll get you an A+, no matter how much the photograph sucks.

wow, that would generate controversy...

if it was pre-columbine, i might consider it...

[dave sz]

Columbine? What does it have to do with columbine? I'm tired of this politically correct BS that schools require or you think they require.

Not sure if this is what the teacher is looking for, but this is how I portrayed the assigment. Using the bunny as example.

1st shot: Soft, warm, cuddly bunny. Achieved by using alot of light, light colored background, possibly a diffuser filter while trying to stay away from shadows.

2nd shot: Evil, rabid, crazy bunny. Achieved by using less lighting, very dark background with very harsh shadows.

Take it a step further for the second shot. Mix up some baking soda and vinegar and make his mouth foam up. Throw him in the dirt and kick him around to get it all dirty. Get some fake blood. Put a cigarrette in his mouth.

I know these are just extreme opposites of each other but, I'm not that great of thinking outside of the box sometimes haha. Good luck with the assignment and let us know the outcome!

Sorry to say but whoever wrote these instructions reads like they were smoking a little too much weed.

Show the warm fuzzy bunny nibbling on a carrot.

Now show the warm fuzzy bunny broiled for dinner with a side of carrots.

Clarence you stole my idea! Before I even knew I had it! Seriously when I first read the OP, that was my initial thought. I was thinking hasenfeffer (rabbit stew) but our approaches were identical.

NaCl(great minds and all that)H2O

OK here's a couple of ideas.
1) stolen somewhat from Sean. Take Jesus figurine and make it into a beer tap, (maybe just tape it to a regular tap so that it hides the original)
2) keeping with the beer theme; normal photo of beer bottle and glass of beer.
Second photo of beer bottle with the bottom broken off, jagged edges outward being held in had by the neck, obviously being used as a weapon.

LOL - I was just about to type this up using a beer bottle, but the beer mug or glass of beer works better!
