I'm open to suggestions for the next photo contest.

My favorite topic is wildlife and animals, but I've already done that one at least once. I'm open to suggestions for the theme of the next photography contest.

Thanks,

Grumpy

Kitchens. I think it's a very personalized space, and might yield lots to look at in contest entries. Drum Apr 15 #18

Musicians, politicians, cute cat, tricks, etc. It’s all performance

It might be one’s own cooking space, a professional kitchen, a campsite, or a street-vendor’s set up?
“The Kitchen” I guess would be all-encompassing enough.

A person's kitchen can say a lot about them. We could shoot wide shots, closeups, dinners, etc.
