My thought for the next mandate comes from an old photo book I found in the
attic: Punography. Take a cliche/saying, and provide a photographic
representation of it using up to four consecutive photos. I'd provide the
cliches/sayings, you shoot pix to illustrate them as visual puns. I think it
might be interesting to see how different shooters present different puns.
If you want, I'll scan and post a couple of examples.

Of you can just tell me to buzz off and offer your own suggestions.

The date for submissions is pending. I need to firm up my travel schedule
prior to setting a date.Right now, the earliest date looks like may 10th.
Stay tuned.

Sounds good. Let's do it. However, it gives certain people an
advantage. All Bruce, Hemi, Pat, Bill Graham, and a few others have
to do is post a photograph of themselves over the saying "You can lead
a horse to water, but you can't make him drink".

I totally reject the idea of posting my photograph over the saying
"There's no fool like an old fool".

I had hoped that the earlier suggestion of a self portrait would stick.
So, I prepared an entry. If "self portrait" doesn't fly, I'll post it
for your amusement anyway.
