Whose ever idea I like most will get a 5er.

Thanks,
Mark

Sharpening a knife sounds like something you could illustrate with 4 pictures....

htown · 07-22-2009, 10:09 AM

How about lighting a cigar.

hotreds · 07-22-2009, 10:10 AM

How about the growth of a plant or crop? Maybe you could find corn in four stages of growth? Good luck!

A series showing how you use a cigar to unwind. First picture is something busy, a desk with papers and a open notebook. Second picture is quitting time, a photo of a watch showing 6-22pm. Third picture is coming home, the humidor and beer fridge in the back, 4th picture is nub cigar in ashtray, empty beer glass with suds still clinging to the side and your feet up in the distance.

The story, work hard, come home, relax with a stogie.

Gluck.

Liking the ideas so far. Keep em coming.

A series demonstrating how to procrastinate....

Edit: Although that might not be able to tell a story alone. Maybe installing computer software (pics of the purchase, opening the box, the screen with the install going, then you using the software)

A Year In The Life of Mark....... Summer, Spring, Fall, and Winter pics.... all with a drink and cigar of course.

Wolfgang · 07-22-2009, 11:26 AM

I like the life cycle idea. But as easily offended as these mamby pambies are in this class I would be yelled at lol.

maybe I should do that for the sole purpose of pissing someone off.

G G · 07-22-2009, 11:27 AM

St. Lou Stu · 07-22-2009, 11:29 AM

What happens if you featured KFC's new healthier grilled chicken vs. the delicious, greasy and addictive original recipe... would that help to ease concerns?

The Making of this story story.....
Picture 1 could be a picture of you placing one picture on a story board
Picture 2, placing the second
Picture 3, the third
Picture 4, you posing and pointing at all four.

They might yell but it will be thought and conversation provoking
