Tuesday Challenge #34 – Limitations
Friday 23rd October
This week the theme is Limitations.
In a recent interview, Terry Gilliam said that he aspires to mediocrity. It’s the limitations that make his work stand out. For example, on Monty Python’s holy grail, he wanted the knights riding around on beautiful horses. However, the budget limitations put a stop to that and we were left with the famous coconuts.
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with the most fantastic idea. What would you shoot if time, money and skills were no issue? Then work within your limitations to realise your dream. See what unique surprises occur.
New rules apply. They’re just like the old rules, but with different times.
Awesome! This is why I love the timbales. You have two drums, two cowbells, two sticks, and have to get through 10 songs without getting bored. Hoping to gestate a suitably grand idea now!

It struck a chord with me on the 8-bit computing thing.

Arse – I put my entry in the wrong place … I think!
Anyway, this is cut and pasted :-
My limitations : A camera that struggles; an imagination that struggles; cloudy daylight through a door augmented by 20 – twenty! – smokin’ watts of IKEA halogen highlighting. Freely post processed in CS3.

Can I linkify comment links, instead of dumping inscrutable URLs?

Wanted to take a night picture of a different university building in Holland, but the lighting was as bad as my camera, so had to settle for this building instead. I m surprised it actually turned okay.
