    Default Should we try our monthly contests again?

    Hey everyone!

    It's been a while since we did our monthly photo contests, thought it might be fun to see if there was any interest in starting them up again.

    Iirc, the way it worked was each month had a chosen theme. You had appx 3 weeks to work on your submission, then they had to be emailed to us with a title. Then we'd post them all in a voting thread (without names), and everyone would vote on which one they liked the best. At the end of the voting period, we announce the winner and they get the kudos for the month. It's a fun thing that was pretty successful for quite a while a few years back. Inspires us all to get out with the cameras too.

    Thoughts? I know we've already lost a few days of July, but we can probably make it work anyway if there's enough interest

    I'd love to start of the monthly themes with the theme 'I believe in this.' With all of the excitement in our city/province this month, there's no shortage of causes, feelings, organizations or events to use your creativity.

    Let me know if you guys wanna get this started and I'll go looking for the rules we had before, they worked pretty well for us last time.

    I'm all for it...I had fun working on them when we used to do them. I figure we probably have enough new bodies to get them running again too.

    I guess you can start with you believe in homelessness, as they provide you with plenty of subject to shoot.

    And I'm in.

    I do actually talk to these people like they are people and when I am out for walks and on occasion buy them lunch or give them a few bucks. The positive outlook on life that some of these guys have is astounding

    Sounds like nobody is against a new contest. Start one up Mel, whats the rules/theme

    Interesting, never tried that before. If I see them and they hi, I'd say hi back, but nothing beyond that... the same goes for random strangers on the street though. If someone comes up to me and can give me a specific dollar amount, I'll probably give it to them if I had it. Kinda weird that it's never "homeless looking" people who asks me for money on the street. The wife is always scared shitless though of homeless people, so that tends to limit my time with the homeless haha.

    it all depends on your personality and how you project to them.
    kelly is very friendly and can befriend anyone lol so they are more willing to pose for him.

    i don't shoot homeless in general but even more so when they are down out of respect.

    Posting without names seems pointless 'cos most of us watermark anyway

    I'd play along.

    the idea is that you don't watermark...it takes some of the personal side of the voting out.

    I threw them $10 to get a 6pack, so they could have more cans to return
