    Gallery Names?

    I need help naming the three galleries I have been wokring on for a website. I have 'action sports' pics (bmx, skateboarding, Freestyle MX), non-action (mostly models and interesting still shots) and polaroids. At first I had them named Action, Life and 'Art?'. Can anyone think of better titles. Less cliche titles that still indicate what is in each gallery? They would go in that order from left to right (order of importance to ME and what i want/like to shoot).

    So three names, alternative to "action" "life" and "art". Or at least better than "Art", hahaha.

    Hm:

    -Quotidian
    -Imaginition. Or Right Brain. Or Left Brain. Whichever side is the creative side. I always get it mixed up.

    Awesome ideas! Thanks. But now what if I asked for more simple, or rather, 'short' gallery names?

    Yeah, my first thought was: short names??? You can't get any shorter than "action, life, and art".

    How about Manny, Moe & Jack...

    BTW, I actually like this, that and the other. On a certain level I think it fits... :thumbsup:

    haha. It's hard, isn't it? I'm not looking for necessarily shorter names than "life, action and art", but just alternatives. I just don't feel like "art" fits polaroids. But maybe there nothing better? I don't know, that's why I need everyone's input!

    Maybe I'll just do "life, action, polaroids". But does 'life' fit either? The 'life' gallery is everything non-sport from nature to concert, people and things.

    hhaha, soo hard.

    Okay, I'll stop goofing! It's a fun exercise, though.
