Calling all you folks who are creative at naming...

[Ms. Toad]

I'm going to have a few photographs in an exhibition next week. So far all I have are boring names (like sunrise, sunset, cactus flower). I'm looking for suggestions for names for these photos:

Number 1



Number 2



Number 3



Number 4



(Number 3 and Number 4 are the same sky, taken about 10 minutes apart)

1. #2 Must Be Cibola

Dunno on the others.

[Ms. Toad]

9. If you're identifying location,

I think it's in the same part of the country. (It's Ghost Ranch in New Mexico)

[NashVegas]

12. Didn't Know That

I was thinking of one of the 'city of gold' legends.

2. let's see

1 Watching you
2. Gold Mountian
3. Gold Sky
4. In the distance

[Ms. Toad]

8. I really like "watching you"

So does my daughter. Thanks!

3. Hmmm...

#1: Crytalized Cactus
#2: El Mesa De Oro (The Golden Mesa)
#3: Golden Skyway (Corny, but all I can come up with)
#4: Blue View

It's hard not knowing either the place or the photographer. Makes naming the shots an interesting exercise. :hi:

6. More info

The place is Ghost Ranch outside of Abiquiu, New Mexico (Georgia O'Keefe land - I think the mountain she considered hers (the Pedernal) is just off the left in picture #4). Taken last February at a LGBT/"church" retreat - to be shown at an exhibition at a "church" gathering (~1500 folks from the same "church," not specifically LGBT) next week.

7. Cool!

I'm a UU clergy person (well, just graduated from seminary, looking for a congregation). The local Ministers' Association has held retreats at Ghost Ranch in the past.

Rock on, GLBTQ-lovin' Sister Toad! :headbang:

10. We had our marriage legally recognized a bit over a year ago

by a UU chaplain in Victoria, BC. Good luck finding a congregation.

4. I was gonna say #2 should be called gold rush

or gold mountain.

I like gold rush, casue the pic makes you feel a little bit rushed...

:loveya:

[smurfygirl]

5. #3 should be Fire on the Mount

sounds good....

[Ms. Toad]

11. That's along the line I was thinking...

Number 3 is Fire, and Number 4 is Ice.

13. I was actually going to say "Fire in the Sky"...

...but you don't have a complementary photo that could be titled "Smoke on the Water." ;-)

14. You already seem to have some great titles

1. Triffid Lost in the Desert, Desert Triffid, When Nature Talks Back, Talking Desert Flower, Listen Carefully

2. Morning Riches, Wealth of the Day (assuming this is a sunRISE photo) :crazy:

3. Hmmm... not sure. Something with FIRE.
As the Fire Retreats, Fire at Dusk, The Fire Breathers Last Show

4. (no idea... nuttin comes to mind..... sorry) Something about "red being wiped out by blue" along those lines....
:silly:

Have a great exhibition. Very nice photos. Have fun....
:hi:

15. Make it a simple family name

Desert Bloom
Desert Horizon
Desert Blaze
Desert Slumber

16. Don't get hokey with the names

Give them a sense of location. And keep it simple.
