Seven Seas, Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Seven Days of the Week, Seven Dwarfs, Seven Sisters, Seven Falls, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, House of Seven Gables, Seven Virtues, Seven Years' War, Seventh Heaven, the number of holes in a Ritz cracker, and the Seven Deadly Sins!

In the sixth century, Pope Gregory the Great reduced the Greek list of the eight offenses to seven items, folding vainglory into pride, acedia into sadness, and adding envy, and came up with this list if sins: pride, envy, anger, sadness, greed, gluttony, and lust. About ten centuries later, the Church replaced the vague sin of sadness with sloth. The list now reads: gluttony, sloth, envy, greed, wrath, pride, and lust.

Make 7 images that illustrate each of the seven deadly sins. These images are to be viewed as a group, so they need to have similar style or some sort of thread that weaves the group together.



Series of 7, cropped to 5x7 or 8x10, color, uploaded to Flickr. Title should be Sin Name.
