[SI] Status of SI?
Just had a look at the SI page, because I believe the
current mandate "Sky" is due about now. There is a message as of the 20th Feb that it is on hiatus. Will the current mandate be done? Will it come back? Can I make a submission for the current mandate? If it is dead, what can we do to bring it back? is it worth bringing back? |

I think the Shootin officially jumped the shark during the last
mandate which received a whopping total of two submissions, an archive shot from Bowser and one from the host himself. And somewhere Lisa Horton cries...... |

Sure Looking doubtful Of course you can, but no one else has, if it's nice I'll put it up :-) Participation That's not up to me Give me a month to settle down and we'll see what happens. My frustration levels have been a bit high lately due to a number of things, but I just didn't feel like dealing with the SI if I'm only going to get a few submissions. You can tell from the astonishing number of posts that people would rather take a poke a Douglas, Rita or Bret, have hot internet sex (Now that was a gruesome mental image!) or buy knock off name brand shirts and shoes than talk about Photography, Pictures and Equipment.

Jim I have to agree with Jim. Participation is what keeps the SI alive. I plan on participating and hope others will too. Sorry to hear you're under stress, Jim. I hope you're able to sort things out. I sent you a suggestion for an upcoming Mandate and hope it's useable. Helen |

Jim Thanks Jim, I have just sent a submission. I decided several months ago I was going to participate in every SI - unfortunately I haven't been out as much as I'd like taking photos, and until this one haven't had anything to submit. The last week has seen me on annual leave though, so voila, an SI submission - unfortunately when SI is in its death throes :-( |

Sure I didn't even see the sky mandate posted but I've been neglectful anyways. Maybe it is time to renew the concept. One idea is to have a theme rather than mandate and to default to archive submissions within the last 2 weeks plus a week from the announcement to the posting. Say the theme is 'Sky' announced this past Tuesday; everyone has till next Tuesday to submit something relating to sky. The point isn't to push people to take pictures on a theme (we should already be taking plenty of pics every 2 weeks) but to share how we've already been shooting that theme. There is still the possibility of doing a custom shot (with kudos) and a shot older than 2 weeks could be allowed as a an archive shot. Frankly I don't really like being told what to shoot and I tend to resist that approach, as many creative individuals will. Maybe that's simply my justification but anyways there's my two cents. Or even just forget the timing aspect and don't 'penalize' archives. There are some great photogs here who have decades of marvelous photos which I would enjoy seeing and discussing. A little motivation for them to scan them up & present them and just as valid for folks to shoot for the theme if they like that approach. Those of us who are shooting bunches every week anyways will most likely submit recent work because that's what's most relevant & there's no cash prize to 'cheat' for :-) Looking doubtful Of course you can, but no one else has, if it's nice I'll put it up :-) Participation That's not up to me Give me a month to settle down and we'll see what happens.
