Question:We are supposed to use a stock photo Web site and find pictures that portray the seven deadly sins which is relatively easy but I want to approach it from a different angle that wouldn't be typical. I am having a creative block though and need some help. Any Ideas for Gluttony, lust, greed,sloth, wrath,envy and pride.

Well, you could use current (or not so current celebrities and prominent people in society to portray those sins.

For example:

Gluttony- a (very) overweight celebrity
Lust- paris hilton or Michael Jackson
Greed- Donald Trump's wife (idk name)

etc etc etc

But I suggest you stay away from hot button topics. Ie don't use George W. Bush (or any president, religious leader, or philantropist.) Common sense people.

Hope these help.
Use pictures of animals instead of humans.
Actually, I think I would use hot button topics; something that is not superficial like a star that is fat. I think for greed, I would show a picture of maybe Saddam Hussien's plush palaces in contrast to a picture of how his own people lived poorly right outside his palaces; I would show greed in the sense of oil companies digging for oil and the people that are growing insanly rich from it , and ten in contrast, show pictures of global warming an the price that it is costing EVERYONE for a few people to get rich(you could also use any number of things to show global warming as a end result of someone's greed and then the depletion of a natural resouce.). For wrath, you could show nature's fury, the hurricanes of Katrina, and the complete devastation that occureda after. Or if it HAS to human based you could use an example of anyone of a number of mothers and fathers who have lost children to predators and have gotten bills passed to have things in place such as the well known "Amber Alert" or "Megans Law", which identifies predators living in the neighborhood. This is a way that wrath and anger of a parent actually helped to assist all people. I think these may be some interesting takeson your assignment; hope it helps! Blessings........
