[SI] And a new mandate for all!

Yes, time flies, doesn't it? Here you thought you had another week to
do "Heat"...

The turn falls to Gordon Moat, who's at work right now and cannot
post to the newsgroup, so he asked me if I could get you guys started,
saying:


"This time the assignment is "Better Off Red!". To keep this simple, the
idea is to concentrate viewer interest on something red in your
composition. The red can be a very small area, or a very large area, or
if using B/W it can be something we all know is red.

In the words of Robert Frank: "There is no 'decisive moment.' You have
to create it."

Those who want a little inspiration, check out Jeff Mermelstein at:

Think about your images. Try to shoot at least one roll of film, or one
memory card full, and select the image you feel best meets the
assignment. Have fun out there, and if you have any questions, contact
me at my office.

Ciao!

Heh. I can time this to cover Heat and Red in the same weekend--if I
want to

You don't do heat. In heat, you Just Do It, or get heated up by
thinking about it.


Infra red image of a person in heat would satisfy this & next
mandate, BTW.

Great mandate!

Al, did you create the new turns list yet?

Ah, crap. I *knew* I'd missed a mandate, but I couldn't find it via
Google. I should have asked last week.

Heat? Thanks! How am I supposed to find Heat in Melbourne,
Australia, in August?!?
I'll have to skip that one. So now to think about "Red".

Dammit! I just loaded B&W this morning!!!

Cheers,

It should be going out later on today, since I figure we've got
everybody that wants in by now...

[Clears throat and speaks in an undertone] "...or checked the SI main

Funny, I said the same thing to Gordon when he e-mailed it to me,
then read closer and noticed that he *did* cover B&W in there, too. Be
creative. Go find Santa, or Boris Yeltsin (Australia, Russia, same diff,
they're neighbors...)

I've been pondering the same thing. Even up here in sunny QLD, heat is
something lacking at the moment. Considered some archive shots, but thought
not. I took some photos last weekend at a heritage festival of a device
called a "road burner"[1], but due to a number of factors working against
me - there were zillions of people about, any position that would have made
good composition was roped off, and i had to deal with an impatient wife,
all the photos came out looking like crap.
[1] This machine was used in the 20's to make roads on the clay soils of the
local area. It burnt coal/wood/anything flammable, to bake the surface of
the dirt, thus resulting in a hard porcelain like finish. From all reports,
the roads it made were among the smoothest around.
I'll have to skip that one. So now to think about "Red".
already have a few ideas for this one - in B&W no less ;-)

Kibo informs me that (st3ph3nm) stated that:

Hm. Hey Steve, are you Andrew's brother?
