In search of creative growth, this blog was designed to encourage the personal betterment of those who enjoy photography as a hobby. Each month's new theme can encourage us to see the world in a different way. We all view things differently. The diversity we enjoy can fuel the creative spirit. It is hoped that we can all glean something from one another.

Frabjous - (frab-juhs) - adjective

Defined as wonderful, superb, elegant or delicious. Coined by Lewis Carroll in Through the Looking Glass; perhaps meant to suggest fabulous or joyous. Do we not feel wonderful or joyous about something we ourselves have created? Hopefully this blog will encourage us to create something frabjous!

Here is how it works. Each month will have a new theme to stimulate creative thinking. We invite people to make suggestions for upcoming themes. The month prior, you can vote for the theme you would like out of four listed. The rules are simple. No rules really. The idea is to get us to think and be mindful of the theme for the month. Take photos that relate to that theme. (However, if you have a really great shot that was taken at another time, use it.) No photo police here. Any camera will do. Even phones with cameras are pretty good these days and they are always handy. Also, if a filter or cropping enhances your photo, go for it. The digital age has given us flexibility that we should take advantage of. One to five photos can be submitted for the blog. Interpretation is up to each individual. We welcome comments.

Theme suggestions and photos can be submitted to frabjousphoto@optonline.net. Submissions must be made no later than the last day of each month. Photos will be posted as received throughout the month. Happy snapping!

Why Didn't We Think of This?


This we found in Sweden and Copenhagen.  Flushers for No. 1 or No. 2.  Saves water.  Cool.

VACATION!!!!!!!

My apologies to all of our readers.  The month of August just flew.  I was away at the beginning of the month and, once home, had been trying to catch up on everything that didn't get done over the summer.  Now it is the last day of August and this is the first time I am giving attention to the blog.  Once again, my apologies!

I've taken last month's theme and made it the them for September.  Hopefully we'll all get back on track. I haven't checked the email yet, but if there are any photos that were sent in August, I will put them on the blog for September.

Travel should be a somewhat easy theme since most people have gone somewhere over the summer.  We'll dispense with the "must be taken in the same month" rule and let you submit any travel photos from this summer.

I know some of you have some great shots!

Theme for July - What Is It?

So what is it, you ask?  Yes, that's it.  What Is It?  The Theme for August.  It was a tie and I had to apply the tie breaker rule.  Odd - Macro.  Even - What Is It?  I rolled a two.

Have you ever taken a photo and someone said, "What Is It?"  I'll leave you with that thought.

Thanks for the Pet Peeves.  Sparrow sure has a lot!

No Name!!

It makes me crazy when people do not put their name in their books.  This feeling was heightened this past weekend at the District Convention where I worked in the Lost and Found department.  Many were the books with no names.  Even some brand new Bibles!
