That's a lot of fine print. Maybe, but luckily nobody will sue you for not reading it. Bottom line is this: the shoot-in is a monthly mandate/gallery that's been going on for years. We post mandates, you shoot the pix in the time alloted and send them to me, the shoot-ion "dictator." (mail address on the rulz page) No contest, no scoring, no worries. You may get some comments later in this NG, but that's about it. Simply entertainment, nothing else. Give it a shot! |
