Sorry I havn't been around...I was out of town for three days, and realllllly busy. Ugh....I'm not sure if I should be the captain, because of time issues.

Caleb, you're a great photographer and a terrific asset to the team.

But if you really think you would rather drop the Captain position because of your time issues, let's go ahead and have a discussion on who would have the time and energy to do the job.

I gather there are a couple of our teammates who might be able to keep the Team up and ready to go.

Shall we toss this around a little?

Well, as far as I go, I really don't have time to be the team captain. Unless it's for this week only cuz I'm on Thanksgiving break! YES no school for a week!

To bad I have massive amounts of homework....grr.....

So how is everyone's postcard submissions going? I have two to choose from, and I might reshoot one of those ones later...we'll see.

Edit: P.S. I think my postcard shot will either beet my current BW score or be very clost to it...here's hoping! Ofcourse now that I say that I think it will jinx me...now it will probably be my worst!

Wow...you are at a 10 hour time difference than me!

11/20/2006 12:32:11 AM · #207

Wow, with Black 'n White under our belts, we had five players at or over 6. Not too bad, Team ImageNation!

Now on to entries in the Open Challenges and the Postcard II numbers.
The Postcard numbers are coming in slowly tonight...

Jeff, you said earlier that you were in the 4s with Spots. Well, if you still are, you can keep me company. I'm still in the 4s in Spots too.

=) Well, at least it's at 4.6 for now, and has been on an upward trend since it started. Best of all, I actually got a helpful comment (thanks

Justine!) So all in all, not a bad experience.

As for this coming Tuesday, I have an idea, but it'll come down to whether I have the time to drive out and take the shot.

I need a good dose of creativity lately! And a helping of "26 hours in a day" would be nice, as long as I'm wishing here! ;)

Good work, all, on the B/W scores - I'm excited to see them.

Congratulations to all you high scorers in B&W - Great job... :)

I'm not in Spots but in Headwear - and my picture is at 5.53 at the moment :(

And, it seems that "postcards" will be another mediocre score for me - right now I can barely make 5...

Apparently I don't under stand dpc - or dpc don't understand me ;) - but it's still a great place to be.

Yippee! Spots just broke 5. (5.04 to be exact). Good thing it was the backup shot.

Unfortunately, my Postcard entry is also in the fives. And from the looks of things it's going to stay there, sulking.

So, lets hear it for

giorgio and all the other high scorers in Team ImageNation!

OK - just poking in again to address the CAPTAIN issue. We all know that most of the work is in taking the pictures, and in Southern Gentleman making this thing work. The Cap'n just needs to get the little things together - yes?
It seems that we are definitely ready to procede with the "Trading Cards" or whatever they are so lets have Giorgio go ahead and do that assuming her is willing - I'll PM him.

Anyone else have any team needs / desires / disappointments etc?

Regarding the captain issue: I really don't think I have time for it. I thought I did....but I'm not sure now. I just launched a new website and I'm doing shoots about 3-4 times a weeks not mentioning working 40 hours at another job. So I have time to shoot for the challenges.....but that's usually about it.

If you guys would rather appoint a different captain....I won't take offense. It would probably be a good thing actually. I just have a little too much going on right now.

Anywho...enough serious talk.

My perspective entry is going to destroy the competition. We will own. Dominate.

Win.

:P

- I received Tate's PM so there are a few things that I need: the photos you want to be on the trading cards (

smurfguy you can send me a photo since you don't have a portfolio here on DPC, my email address is on my profile) and if you have any ideas/desires about the general look of the cards(i.e colors, fonts, anything) please let me know.

- 3rd order of business "El Capitan": I propose Mista

metatate.

I'd like my image CROP only to look like this -

I also had and idea for presenting the thumbnails ...
I thought ROYGBIV (7 digits) coincides well with 7 members of our team ... heres the idea I thought might be cool (each is a monochomatic RED ORANGE YELLOW GREEN BLUE INDIGO VIOLET:

Then again, that might be too pretty ... not intimidating enough. HMMM. Let me think some more ;}

I was sooooooo disappointed last nigt when I went to bed and it was at 5.6 (which is actually a decent score for me) because I thought mine would do a lot better. I wake up and I brok 6 again! Yes that's right...I just woke up...it's 1 p.m. here...hey, give me a break I'm on Thanksgiving break! ;) It's one week where I'm allowed to be a bum!

11/20/2006 03:17:57 PM · #219

I'm jealous. I could fall asleep right now.
I ran a half-marathon yesterday - It was twice as far as I'd ever run (my mom and wife ran too).
I'm sore and need to sleep for about 16 hours.
I want Tofurky!!! ... anyone?

Save a Turkey :]

OHHH! ... I think someone had a problem with my image ...
almost a .1 drop in 2 votes - ouch 6.91.

Wow, looks like another great week... I'll pitch in and help soon, guys, promise! =)

I think the ROYGBIV index is a cool idea... as long as I'm not violet. =)

I'll get you an image when I get home tonight, George.

giorgio great, glad you are going to get on the Trading Cards. Love the different colors idea, too. If you want to, go ahead and use either of the pics (maybe the r/s one) from this:

And yes, I'll second the motion for Mista

metatate for El Capitan.

All in favor?

Finally, congratulations on all the high scores, Team. I'm gonna pin all my personal hopes on Perspective, cause my Postcard entry is scoring at roughly the mediocre level.

I third metatate as El Capiton! I need to take a photo of myself for our trading card...hm...any ideas?
