ParticipantMy only idea for this is a motherboard, you know because of so many electronics and computer stuff, going for the circuitry angle there. However, I’m really not feeling it anyway. Part of me wants to keep up with my posting weekly, but I don’t actually have anything for this so I would have to shoot it all today. Its not hard, mind you, just not feeling the urge to think photographically.
holy crap where was I going? I got sidetracked. Anyway, I’ll just leave that here because I’m too lazy to delete it.

ParticipantMining operations are a necessary part of our global infrastructure, so yes they would be fair game.
As I said before, hard and soft infrastructure is fine. You can shoot telephone poles, highways, columns, beams, airports, trains, sewers, garbage trucks, the Post Office, a bank, a dollar, a Police Officer…
Power plants, where airplanes fly
O’oer power lines across the sky
A dump truck dumping precious ore
The joists that hold up your house floor
A nickel, penney, piece ‘o eight
A subway running very late
The asphalt underneath your feet
The farms where we get all our meat
The prison system breaking rocks

Participantgotcha. understood and all that. cool little poem by the way:)
October 12, 2011 at 1:05 am #41040ParticipantOoh! Dump trucks! You’d mention that. With two boys, there are dump trucks, and one even has toy rocks. Maybe I’ll go outside tomorrow and do some of that. No appointments or anything so I should have some time.
And agree with loki, like the poem. 🙂

I’m sure you’ll think out of the boxI don’t think you should shoot a Police Officer.
October 12, 2011 at 4:46 am #41045ParticipantMy friends talk about shooting babies all the time. That’s okay?

ParticipantI don’t think you should shoot a Police Officer.
Well, to be fair, if you’re going to shoot a bank, that’ll be a likely follow-up.
And I move that we crown Kes the forum’s poet laureate.

That’s where the prison system comes in.
October 12, 2011 at 9:26 pm #41048ParticipantU-man I actually had that thought while posting. I almost made a comment about how people frown on shooting the President even though he would be a valid shot for this contest. But I didn’t know if that would be in taste so I deleted it. Sometimes I forget this is fark…
October 12, 2011 at 9:27 pm #41049ParticipantAnd aspidites, I think that leads back into the box.
October 12, 2011 at 9:40 pm #41050ParticipantElsinore I’m adding the Post office to my list of examples in the boobies tonight to represent soft infrastructure per the discussions here. If that’s not okay G+ me or FB msg me.
