See now folks, this is why I love Project 365, or photo of the day (potd), or Flickr 365, or iphoneography, or whatever you want to call it. It is about community, inspiration, and pushing yourself to continue to get better or enhance your artwork and skills.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been inspired by viewing people’s photo projects. I gain ideas, or build off of concepts and really push the limits of my work, and I hope my pictures help to insight creativity in other’s projects. So when a chain of inspired photos occurred through my fave’s project’s, I thought how cool would it be to challenge everyone else to show me how they would envision the shot…

It all started with @paulgiunta’s Day 102 photo of his gear:

Paul Giunta's Day 102 | Wide Open

I (@christawatson) felt inspired by this and wondered what it would look like if there was something behind the wide open glass:

My nifty fifty wide open

Then my always favorite, cool and quirky @joeyjoeyjoey decided to step it up with his interpretation:

AND THEN, had another one of Joey’s friend/fan @j00zt1n posted THIS photo:

So the Challenge? How would you do this shot differently? I’d love to see everyone’s take on this…

UPDATE! We’ve come full circle as Paul added his 2nd interpretation to the mix:
