So much of life happens inside something. A house, a car, a sleeping bag, a UFO.
Finding images of a thing inside something else can be a very powerful compositional tool. (Or an excuse to photograph your baby in long-term storage. Or both.)
The crew here at Automattic plays a photo game called “blank-in-a-blank” when we get together. We try to take photos of any of us inside anything else. Sometimes it’s physical (a taxi, a mirror, an elevator, a silly hat) and sometimes it’s figurative (a state of confusion, a cone of silence, a joyous embrace).
Showing things relative to other things allows you to emphasize a particular subject (a ship in a bottle), show juxtaposition (a clown drinking in a bar) or abstract themes (oil in a puddle). The “inside” idea can be as wide-open as your imagination wants to make it. From the simple to the absurd, it works on almost any level.
This week, in a post created specifically for this challenge, share a photo that says INSIDE.
The difference between a snapshot and an image that makes a memory can be something as small as clever composition. That’s what blank-in-a-blank lets us at Automattic do and what looking for images that explore “inside” can do for your photography.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
- Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.

What a great shot but so wrong LOL….I know how fidgety babies can be, mine would have thrown themselves off that chair and on to the floor had they been there, so I hope whoever was holding the camera was quick handed to catch should that happen 🙂 Now to get thinking on my shot! 😀
