We have all had to study history. Read textbooks, look at primary source documents ..ect ect. But can you really be sure that what you read and see is what actually happened? That's the point of this weeks dodgeball....

Your job is to:

Make a subtle alteration to a famous historical photo.

Now hold on to your brush tools; We want to change history, so try your hardest to fool and make us look twice at your entry. After all, in 20 years your chop may be the only insight left about past. Also, to put a definition to history lets say any photo before the millennium (<2000) . And as always please try to keep the photos pg-13.

AND REMEMBER:
Anybody can make history, only a great (wo)man can create it...



Post your entry right here in this very thread, by 11:59 PM CST on Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007.

Provided one of you doesn't alter history, creating a parallel dimension ... (GREAT SCOTT!!), you can cast your vote by PM to me by 11:59 PM CST on Thursday, October 4th, 2007.

Have fun!

Cool theme! And congrats on the win for last week's dodgeball. I wasn't around a computer for most of the weekend so this is the first I've gotten to check up on all things woot since Fridayish.

Great, I have had nothing to watch all week but Dr. Who and Ken Burn's "The War". This should be fun.

Fun idea!
Here's my very first Dodgeball entry.



Thanks!

Great stuff already. For the first time the first 3 designs are hilarious and actually require you to be somewhat learned in the historical whatnots to get it.

too subtle?

Ok.. DARKZERO.. I can't take credit for using XP. But I did think of this..

OF COURSE.. If you hadn't done what you did, I never would have thought of it... So.. I can't take full credit for the idea.

Ok.. so it is off theme.. Not so subtle.. But I was getting bored..
