Waiting at the Golden Griddle
London, ON, September 2008 [Click to enlarge]
I'm hoping to keep things simple for this week's Thematic Photographic theme, rows. Basically, anything that lines up is fair game. As ever, I know you'll come up with neat, inspiring and thought provoking interpretations of this theme. And as far as I'm concerned, I'm apparently still working through my morose-themed monochrome phase. Thanks for putting up with it!
Your turn: Thematic Photographic is a little photo challenge that I like to hold every week. It's strictly a fun exercise that lets us explore the world of photography a little and hopefully stretch our skills in the process. It's about getting outside of our comfort zone and hopefully bringing home - and sharing - some neat results. I very much hope you take a shot this week. Here's how it works:
- Every Wednesday evening, at precisely 7 o'clock Eastern, I post a new Thematic Photographic entry.
- Each entry has a unique theme. This week's is...rows.
- You post a similarly themed image over on your blog.
- You paste a link to your entry in a comment here.
- If you've already posted something that fits (on a blog, Facebook, MySpace, wherever) simply post the link to the existing entry.
- You may post as many photos or links as you wish. For the next week, I'll be supporting this theme with a related picture/posting each day. I encourage you to do the same. This is all about sharing, so feel free to share to your heart's content!
- Please share this link with friends, too, and encourage them to join in. The more, the merrier.
- And please accept my thanks for your enthusiasm. Your participation has made TP a true highlight for me each and every week.
I love rows!!! I'll be back, as Arnold once said.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, Carmi. It makes me want to tiptoe and whisper.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had to think about this one for a while... but it finally came to me.

If I had a camera that was even marginally good, I would give this a shot. However, my camera is crap, and my mind is mush. However, I'll be back!
ReplyDeletethis is a very intersting shot! i'll be back to post in this challenge if at all possible.
ReplyDeleteAhh....I think I have one for this. I need to get this up right away.
ReplyDeleteLove the crop of this one, Carmi! I like orderly things. Mine is up as well!

ReplyDeleteI like this black and white phase. Everytime I look at your latest shots, they give me a lot to think about. And lately they seem to calm me down. For me they eoke a quiet feeling.
Love this photo!
ReplyDeleteI have a row here.
ReplyDeleteI actually did one... You can find my interpretations here.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first looked at the photo, I thought it was a church or synagogue, but it's booths in a restaurant, right?
ReplyDeleteMine is up.
Carmi,
ReplyDeleteThis is my first attempt to join a thematic Wed, so if I am doing this wrong, please let me know. I have several photos from yesterday's Wordless Wed., the 4th photo is the one I wish to submit for "rows". The URL is:

I've seen this around on lots of blogs. I'm going to try to start playing along this week! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy about this week's theme as I am a very linear thinker - Thanks, Carmi!
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective, love the angle.
ReplyDeleteHere's my contribution to rows- Lanterns at Yasaka Shrine.
Lovely light in your one,very quiet and serene.
ReplyDeleteMine is all about reading the book by it's cover:)

ReplyDeleteLoved, loved, loved the booths at the Golden Griddle!!!! Here's my entry for the week!
ReplyDeletehttp://acoupleofroses.blogspot.com/2008/11/thematic-photographic_16.html
I was out doing stuff today and brought my camera along. It's nice to have fresh shots just for Thematic Photographic. I was too lazy to upload the big pictures. Just the details. (That's an attempt at humor, believe it or not.)
ReplyDelete-smarmoofus
I've really enjoyed all the different kinds of rows that you've shown us this week Carmi.
ReplyDeleteI finally came up with a couple of pictures that fit the theme (which I found a difficult one).
My "Rows".
I'm back with more rows.
ReplyDeleteRows and rows of lanterns
Rows of chrysanthemums
Sharing rows and rows of fruits and more.
ReplyDeletelast? but hopefully not least...
