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: [http://members.home.net/cattywompus/stuff/levi.jpg](http://members.home.net/cattywompus/stuff/levi.jpg) [http://members.home.net/cattywompus/images/playground.JPG](http://members.home.net/cattywompus/images/playground.JPG) [http://members.home.net/cattywompus/images/james.JPG](http://members.home.net/cattywompus/images/james.JPG) 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. ---

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… 🙂 -niggle ---

**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. 🙂 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: 1. cattywompus/stuff/levi 2. cattywompus/images/playground 3. cattywompus/images/james [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/care-to-help-a-roo-part-ii-name-that-photo/26027.md?page=2)
