Alright! That's three of us for sure in the "Bond" Challenge.

And this one is aptly named "Challenge" because it was so hard to do.

And nice marks, Stefan, too. All my present stuff is solidly in the five column, so I'm pulling hard for the rest of our ImageNation Team to reach for the skies.

I'm lookin at a 6.3 for Free Study and 5.4 for diagonol.

I don't think I'll have time to do the James Bond photos. I have wayyy too much due for school tommorow. But I will enter either the Life or Death challenge...I've got some ideas for both. We'll see what I come up with.

But good news! I sold three photos Friday night in Butte(2 were of my postcard entry minus the text) at $100 a pop and am going to trad a print with this old time photographer I met. That covered the cost of prints and frames, but didn't cover the $60 in gas to get there and back. But the photos will be up for a while, so I'm hoping to sell more and make a profit! I also met a man who owns a pretty nice restaurant in Butte, and scheduled a time to show my work there next year from Nov.-Dec.

Impressive - congratulations (You might end up with a ribbon here if the trend continues) :)

Way to go, Tate! And, Stephen, your number is looking good too. Mine is stuck in the mid-fives but has some nice comments. It may pick up steam later on. (Wishful thinking, I know.)

Lisa, congratulations on the print sales and the possibllity of more to come. That Postcard entry (with or without the writing) is most salesworthy - as you've just proven.

I've got my LIfe or Death entry in.

Yeah - that's awesome, Tate!

Looks like me and George got stuck right in the middle of the pack in LoW. Oh well!

I didn't enter Bond; gotta rack my brain for Life/Death...

Very consistent Meta - the voters seem to agree :)

I'm still around 5.8 - and for once I actually think I deserve better - there are IMO far too many "not Bond" pictures in this challenge. Granted, there are some really good ones as well (and yours must be one of them), but I think my voting average in this challenge must be the lowest I've done sofar.

I'm delighted to see that nice big impressive number, Tate.
Hang in there!

Check WPL standings guys - it looks like we are about to get our 3rd win :)

...and this gives us a 2nd place in our division, and the opportunity to go to the playoffs if we can make it the last round as well. In the last round we are up against Outcasts - the contender for the 2nd place. Yhis is going to be exciting...

12/05/2006 11:50:07 AM · #365

I'm really competitive so I'm glad we are winning! ... I'd say we are probably a little bit of a sleeper team but definitely have some talent and potential.
PS: I wish I could score like this every week :) !!!

I've often thought of the strangeness of our team's forming. When the WPL3 came up one team short, here came seven DPC people who didn't know each other, and with averages all over the lot, who made up a team with a great name, and gee, we're playing together pretty well!

And Tate, my wish goes out for continued good scoring on your Bond entry. 7.36. Wow. NICE number!

My "Diagonal" is at 5.81 and "Bond" at 5.80 - not very impressive...

I've entered "Life", but have to admit I don't expect anything big here. But, I think I have an excellent idea for "Dirt" which I'll shoot today or tomorrow (and hope that the voters think it's great too) :)

...and I'm still in awe over your Bond score Tate - that's just great :)

6.2176 in Diagonal and right now I'm shooting for "Life". I really hope that my idea will do well with the voters.

As far as I'm concerned Tate's got the blue ribbon in his pocket, giving us hope for the playoffs. GO TEAM!

Yeah, way to go everyone! It seems like everyone's getting some pretty good scores.

I'm at about a 5.5 for diagonal...not horrible, but not great. I just turned in my life entry...I'm hoping it does well. I really like it. but it's one of those things that I'm not sure if a ton of people had the same idea...hm...we'll see

Something wrong with one of the pictures in my signature (Giorgio's)...
It doesn't seem to be on the server anymore.

Sorry guys for the photo. I've changed it last night and I sent a PM to Jeff asking him to change the forum code.
