The only point I was trying to make is that we're *ALL* guests of the people that run this site. That's true for any online community. Nation of origin does play into that. If my parents invited you over for a party, would you complain about the Polish flag hanging outside their door? Then why complain about the subject of the photo project?

Plus, more importantly. you have every right to not participate on the project and especially to start your own thread with whatever subject better resonates with you.

Americana, besides being a legitimate and long-standing subject for a lot of artistic expression, would also be a lot MORE interesting in, with a little imagination, interpreted by people in other countries. American influence can be felt everywhere, and often times showing "Americana" through the lens of a foreign culture can be that much more eye-opening, wether it's bootleg Levi's in a Polish gipsy market or a Chevy Camaro in an Italian alley.

The subject is limiting only if you make it limiting. I, for one, *wish* I lived in another country right now, it would make me a lot more eager to participate in this project.
