I noted that Joey Lawrenceis no longer a member (though still a registered user) and you cannot view any of his portfolio pictures except for his challenge entries. Regardless of his reasons for not renewing his membership, it appears to me that not having him as a full member is a loss to DPChallenge, after all, very few dpchallengers have had comparable success. So, would it not be a good idea for Langdon to create a DPChallenge Hall of Fame and induct people periodically? Inductees could be selected by him with or without the guidance of the membership. Inductees could become automatic lifetime members and have other privileges that Langdon may choose to award. If this is ever adopted I would propose JL as the first candidate. Any thoughts about this?

I don't really see a need for anything like this, but that's just me.

Art's dog will be more famous than Joey Lawrence. I propose the dog get inducted first.

I dont know about a hall of fame... but some kind of overall statistics would be nice... (greatest ribbon winners, greatest average score, etc...) But just the nice ones (because nobody wants to be known as the greatest brown ribbon winner or something like this...:P

I also thought this was like a hall of fame.

IMO, good for marketing of DPC. Makes sense to maintain the portfolio of a successful photographer rather than delete...

I think the point is to get access to old member's portfolio even after they've moved on. Currently we can only see challenge entries. I think it's a good idea. Truth is, sooner or later some of the greats are going to stop paying their $25 because they are putting their efforts elsewhere. We then lose access to at least part of their body of work.

I think it would be a smart idea for Langdon to consider and a win-win for everybody.

Well, just to qualify it for me personally, it's just because I don't really follow personal portfolios at all (Which is why mine is such a lame duck and never gets updated), and don't really 'get' it. If I really like someone's work, it's more because I like the person themselves, and I'll follow them off of DPC.

But you're right, it's a good idea for the majority of people, and I'll stop being a selfish sourpuss ;D

I think we should have a Selfish Sourpuss hall of fame and induct K10DGuy.
...and my dog.

On the original suggestion: I agree on all points - it's a good idea.

Langdon's profile currently lists the following as his favorite photographers:

Favorite Photographers
Photographer -- Date Added
Mousie -- 1/26/06
terje -- 3/30/05
drewmedia -- 7/3/02
mk -- 5/11/02

A very selective Hall of Fame!
