Your challenge this weekend is to take and share a photo on the theme of STAT!

OK – this is a bizarre topic and the reason it was selected is odd too but it originated from this thread on our Facebook page and me using the word ‘STAT!’ in my call for themes for the week.

The context I used ‘stat’ in was that I needed a theme idea FAST! It’s a term often used in medical settings that apparently comes from the Latin word ‘statim’ which means ‘immediately’ or ‘urgent’.

You’re welcome to take any spin you like on the word but perhaps a photo that conveys some kind of urgency, immediacy or fast action (although you might want to interpret it as ‘statistics’, ‘status’ or ‘status quo’ or something else as others in the facebook thread suggested).

Once you’ve taken your “STAT!” image, upload it to your favourite photo sharing site and either share a link to it below or embed it in the comments using the our new tool to do so. Please note it sometimes takes us a while to approve comments with images as there’s a moderation queue – particularly over the weekend.

If you tag your photo on Flickr, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag it as #DPSSTAT to help others find it. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
