*****  You brought up the idea of a photo of someone brushing their teeth
before bedtime. That's the *after hours* angle. The macro is one way of
observing something so ordinary that we generally might not think twice
about it. Toothpaste foam? Very mundane, but perhaps fascinating viewed from
the right angle and very close up. The same can be said about hundreds of
other mundanities. (made up word)

As to what equipment I would use? If I were Dr. T, I would be using the 7P
Realist. If I were myself, I'd use a Nikon 2020 with a close up attachment
and either a slide bar or a mirror arrangement to get the stereo image.

******  Well, I see your point about not having such images on hand. But
with a whole month to go .....

*****  It's not the ideas so much as what happens when the camera is in your
hands and you're on the prowl at night... Film is at hand...

*****  So now the killer question. Did you actually think, plan and work on
that assignment for the *entire* 6 to 12 months? I'll bet you didn't spend
that much time on any one assignment. I know you spent goodly amounts of
time doing other things like writing to P3D, for instance. You're already
experienced at getting your images, and since you seem to regularly be up
late at night, just pick up the camera and see what develops... ;-)
