Care to help a roo? Part II - Name that photo!

The Saskatoon Exhibition is coming in early August, and I’ve decided to submit a few photos for judging.

Now, I don’t normally give titles to any of my work, but I figured it may make them a bit more interesting to the viewing public, if I do.

The problem with this is, since I’ve never titled anything before, I am a complete dumbass when it comes to possible names. So, in order to solve this problem, I am going to ask you, the teeming millions for any suggestions. Serious or not, good or bad (though, good is better) I want them. NOW!

The pictures:

The scans are a little dark and pooey, but you get the idea…

Thank you in advance.

I can’t think of anything for the 1st or 3rd one, but the one on the playground made me think of the simple life.

In other words, being a kid seems complicated but as an adult looking at kids play you can remember when things were simple.

No title really, but that’s the feeling I get.

Well as soon as I looked at them I thought, ‘Camping, Playing, Smoking’. That’s it. Good shots, roo.

1.) Play
2.) Soft Foundation
3.) The Image Man
Man, I suck at this game. Nice work, though, mega.

  1. Holmes
  2. Chains and Wood
  3. Delay

No reason; they just made me think of that…

The second one:"The Quiet Life of a Child
The first one: Having a Ball
The Third one: the Waitng Game

  1. The Contender
  2. Free Flight
  3. Drew a blank. Sorry. Perhaps “The Smoker”

I really like the composition of the second and third photos, roo.

Good luck.

My second viewing had the following results:

1.) Punk Wood
2.) End and Edge
3.) Wrinkle
I do hope you’ll let us know what titles you ultimately fly with.

  1. Resistance.
  2. On the Edge.
  3. Hero.

Some free-association suggestions:

  1. On the Way
  2. Facing the Future
  3. The First Time

Although I like xenophon’s “Delay” also.

  1. Man with hat
  2. Child on swing
  3. James Dean reborn

OK they suck, but they were the first things that popped into my head.

Photo # 1: Death.
Photo # 2: Despair.
Photo # 3: Destruction.

Cheery Arnold!

Nice, Arnold. Now all roo needs are photos of Destiny, Dream, Desire and Delirium to complete her representation of the Endless.

  1. Breakin’ out the KBs
  2. Playground at the end of the world
  3. Porsche’s demographic
  1. Spring Training
  2. Cool

Great shots, Roo!

1)Prison Breakout
Just my gut feeling.

2)“Waterworld” without water
Reminds me of that Kevin Costner movie.

3)Modern Bazaar
Really! I see people buying and selling, or exchanging ideas . . .

I ain’t no psychic, but I can tell you think I’m slightly nuts . . .

Not sure about the first one…

The second: Bridging the Gap
The Third: Procrastination

I took the liberty of looking through some of the other pictures in that image directory. Barky.jpg and Roberta.jpg are amazing shots. You’re a very talented photographer.

This is a nice happy place to put post #100:slight_smile:

Thirsty4 - Re: James Dean reborn - Ha. Take a look at what I named that .jpg.

Niggle - I actually thought about submitting the roberta picture, but it didn’t get much of a reaction from people who don’t know her.

Tripler - Re: “Waterworld” without water - You know the white area behind the playground? It’s a lake. :slight_smile:

And you guys have all come up with some excellent suggestions. I really really appreciate it.

Nice photos. Yucky name suggestions (too Hallmark Calendaresque).

I say go with the link names they already have:
