"Repetition is the death of art."
Robin Green, Northern Exposure
It's central to poetry and music, but it's often overlooked by photographers. For this assignment, create a photograph using repetition or rhythm as a primary design element. As always, use this thread to share your hits, misses, and discoveries.

We just finished assembling this noble piece of furniture. Look at all these drawers! Can you say "repetition"?

The above technique is a downloaded photoshop action. Download for free at:
http://www.panosfx.com/index.php?option=...&Itemid=27
Its alot of fun to play around with. I want to get one printed quite large to see how it looks. You can also play with the perspective....

Let me know if you have any problems with it. There are quite good instructions on the site.

One of my favourite Simpsons moments...
Quote:Homer: Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute. Lisa honey, are you
saying you're *never* going to eat any animal again? What about
bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal!
Homer: [Chuckles] Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

I'm almost too embarrassed to show my go at this, the standard has been set very high! But it does say to share the misses as well as the hits...

Very interesting assignment Matthew... All pictures are really great!!
Well... Here is one of mine.... Nature... just for a change 
My idea was to have the same reflection two times in the droplets...

A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.
