Hola peeps. (yes, the skinny white guy said peeps.)

I'm still looking for recruits for the WPL. I've PM'd a few, but not all of the draft list that scott made up, sorry been a busy afternoon. I'll try to take original drafters first... I said try, not will. ;-)

so far the team is:

Alfresco
Wavelength (captain)

Where can I find out more information about these lWPL eagues things? Is it basically a total of the score each photographer on a team receives in a challenge versus other teams? I'd be interested if I can find out more information about what is required of each team member.

Basically, you just need to get on a team, enter the challenges every week and give it your best shot...and have FUN doing it!

05/16/2006 06:35:09 PM · #6

we just need you to try to get an entry in every week of the WPL, which doesn't start till July 2nd at this point.

Marcel, Rebecca, you're in.

Dave, just tell me if you're in.

Brizmama is also in ;D

I'm trying to get fotomann to join, because I'm insane.

05/16/2006 06:35:13 PM · #7

So I take it that you should enter a photograph in all of the member and open challenges each week? When does the season officially kick off and does saying that "I'd like to participate on WPL Team 6 work, or do I need to send a PM? You can check out my portfolio and let me know if I make the cut ;)

All will tremble at the glory and greatness that "insert team name here" will attain. You will cower at the very thought of being pitted against "insert team name here"! Now is your one, your only, chance to not be humiliated by "insert team name here" - join now.

"What's he that wishes so?
My cousin wavelength? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men (and women), the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man (or woman) more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men (or women) my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not another man (or woman).
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man (or woman) more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, wavelength, through my host,
That he (or she) which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him (or her) depart; his (or her) passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his (or her) purse;
We would not die in that man's (or woman's_ company
That fears his (or her) fellowship to die with us.
This league is called The WPL.
He (and she) that outlives this league, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this league is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of "insert team name here".
He (and she) that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is WPL.'
Then will he (and she) strip his (and her) sleeve and show his (and her) photos,
And say 'These photos I took for "insert team name here".'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll (and she'll) remember, with advantages,
What feats he (and she) did. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
wavelength the captian, jp the fat,
you and her, him and she -
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And WPL shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he (and she) to-day that sheds his photos with me
Shall be my brother (and sister); be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
Make him (and her) a member of the gentry, even if he (or she) is a commoner.
And gentlemen (and women) in DPC now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods (and womanhoods) cheap whiles any speaks
That fought for us "insert team name here"."

I already have entered 10 in a row, just not consecutively. I think my accomplishemnt was much more difficult.

Now I'll go ahead and do the easy peasy 10 consecutive challenges.

Ummm ... 10? Who said 10?
