New Topic: Past Its Prime

Well, I was happy that it wasn't just Jayde & I posting photos on the last topic - thanks for the contributions :)

I'm going to go for two semi-related topics over the coming month. The new topic is "Past Its Prime." I'd suggested the topic "decay" to Emma before as I quite like taking photos of old equipment, building ruins, and things that overall look "grungey". So, in refining the topic, I was trying to work out how to expand it so that it's not too narrow, and thought that the concept of something that's past it's prime covers it. That could be people (I know that I'm now past my prime), it could be old buildings, it could be something from everyday use that is broken or worn. It's up to you to interpret the topic - take a photo of something that has seen better days and is now "Past Its Prime". I thought that this would be a challenge, as, in many photos we're trying to make something look "good, whereas this challenge is about emphasising that something is worn / used / broken / aged / run down / etc.

The follow on topic that will be in a couple of weeks will be "New Life" - which acts as a counterpoint to the current topic, but more about that topic in two weeks. For now - crack out your wizened elderly folk, your run down furniture, your falling down buildings or what have you, and show us something "Past Its Prime" :)
