Ideas for the April Contest.

Calling out for ideas for an April Theme. I had a couple thoughts.
1. Water as the main subject. (April showers brought it to mind.)
2. Your tax dollars at work. (It is tax time.)
3. Power lines as the main subject. (or infrastructure as art.)

Any one have any ideas of what they would like to do? I leave this sit a couple days then run a poll.

There is a ginormous highway interchange project going on a couple miles from where I live. It might give me the opportunity to practice my people photography on road construction workers on the job. No potential issues there.

Does the DU Photography Group offer any sort of catastrophic healthcare coverage?

We're paying more to the oil companies in incentives than they're giving us back in royalties, and we're on the verge of a gigantic recession. A lot of people would be willing to pay more taxes, but the Republican-led legislature would rather see the state go down the tubes than tax anyone - and they're DYING to get into the Permanent Dund..

Long story short - #1 or #3 for me, please.

In NM, Suzanna Martinez, puts all the tax dollars in the southern part of the state where all the oil is.
