Week 3 Theme

I'd like to have week three be a series of seven images with a common theme. Any suggestions?
Here's some from the Photography professor at Union, feel free to nominate one of these or one of your own:
->Paper bags
-Use a paper bag as the subject for each image.
->Half-/Century Club
-Photograph objects older than 50 or 100 years.
->Industry
-Images whose subjects are utilitarian or mechanical in design.

Feel free to use the comments section for ideas.
Enjoy the weekend!

Resolutions for 2006

While I was waiting for my prints to dry in the darkroom last term, I was reading a couple of photography magazines and came across an interesting blurb. It was a section on how to improve yourself as a photographer and one of the suggestions was to try to make at least one photograph each day that you felt was a "good" image.
So, to that end, in my relentless pursuit of improvement, this is my new years resolution.
Each day, in this location, I will post an image that was taken no more than 24 hours prior to the post.
Who knows how long it will last, but hopefully I'll be able to pull this off. Keep checking back to see how it turns out.
