I first learned of a "collective" calling themselves Photo Veritas, earlier this year. They claimed to be photographers who have chosen to create their own set of rules in order to better seek truth in their imaging endeavors.

Just went back to their site to see if their movement had grown since, but alas, no.

If you don't already know about this collective, kick back and enjoy the read :)

That group would attract quite a few people from DPC...

Rule #7: Shun all Awards and Competition
Truth is tainted by the "legitimacy" of awards and public praise. Do not accept awards or accolades for your work as they will steer you away from the direction of truth.

Look to the example of Sinclair Lewis' fictional character "Arrowsmith;" a great scientist who was perpetually distracted by the spoils of success. Leave the awards and glory to those who need such things. A PV photographer finds reward in the labor itself.

Yeah, #7 pretty much puts an end to DPC completely.
