[SI] New Mandate: B&W
By popular demand, the new mandate is B&W. While I'm sure that the posters
meant Black and White, I see no reason to restrict it to only black and white photos. If you can come up with another interpretation of "B&W," please feel free to do so. Of course, if you want to submit three photos that showcase what truly constitutes a successful black and white photo, like composition, texture, and lighting, that's OK too. The shoot-in is he http://www.pbase.com/shootin I'll update the Rulz pages sometime today or tomorrow, so be patient. Lastly, the deadline for this mandate is January 4th, 2009. I went an extra week to allow people to recover from New Year's Eve. Please try to submit your photos by 6PM Eastern Time (USA). Please limit your submissions to 300K each, three submissions per person. Fire at will! |

Such as sepias, gold tone (chrysotype), cyanotype, polysulfides, kallitype, tetenal copper processing, etc. These were, after all, standard B&W methods. |

If you can come up with another interpretation of "B&W," please feel free to do so. Given many of the characters around here, the B&W mandate could be "B!tching & Whining." Perhaps we could interpret "Beatings & Whippings"? Or "Beaches & Wenches" ? "Bratz & Whores" "Booze & Wine" "Bikes & Wheels" "Boron & Tungsten" "Bimbos & Wackos" "Brickbats and Wombats" .... -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out. |

I do , but they're kinda cold right now. All these sub-themes are fully acceptable. Even some brand names, like Bowers & Wilkens or Babcock & Wilcox qualify. ..... -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out. |

If I was that company I'd even have a difficult time selecting that for a monthly flier. It says nothing, conveys nothing, is nothing. I don't think I've seen a more boring photo. Sorry, dem's da fac's. Oh wait, I take that back. On an outing to Yerkes Observatory (the largest refracting telescope in the world, even today) when I was 7 years old and had my Brownie Box Camera, I took a photo similar to yours. (true) I still have a print from that photo to remind myself of what to never do again. |
