Weel my bad score is just that, its sub 5 right now. hopefully it continues rising as it has in the last few hours but..... I will hopefully post week 2 activities as soon as I know them and sorry as I thought it was a pretty neat photo and my 1 comment thus far thought so also.

Anyone have scores to report for week one thus far?

Im in the bad challenge, and sitting at 4.94 right now. Better than this morning, and I am hearing from a few other teams that this is a brutal challenge for everyone.

Who else do we have aboard on week one???

Anything good to report Lee???

Hi All ye Shipmates!
Did fairly respectable in the "Table Shots" challenge - in 49th place with a 5.8884 score.

In the Personification Challenge, I'm running at about 5.6.

Entered the "Bad" Challenge as well. Looking around 5.2 right now...uuugg!....thought it would be doing better (that's what they all say, I know!!)

Looking forward to the Fruits & Veggies Challenge...a couple of ideas floating in my head.

Best of Luck to All! Arrrr!

Yeah new business name. Hopefully 2007 will bring good things!!!

I wasn't able to shoot for this weeks challenge but do hope to shoot for fruits and vegetables as well as Biology.... Since I was a biology major 1000 years ago, I'm going to hit me ole' textbooks for inspiration.

I thought that last weeks nude challenge was counting for this season. I guess I was wrong which is rather unfortunate because I finished with a strong 5. Not as good as I expected, but a respectable score nonetheless.

Yea,

I went and checked out your Nudey pict, I really liked the concept and the idea. I now wished I had voted becuase I would have at least given it a 9.

Congrats on the business, hope it goes well for you. Cant wait to see what you drum out this week

Hey Eliz,

Great Job in the Personification challenge, I am sure that will help the team. I think Bad was just a bad decision, for the challenge over all not for either one of us. Just goes to show good photographers like ourselves just cant take a bad photo.

What's with all my shipmates changing their names?!
I shall hence forth be called: woman-who-strives-for-blue-ribbons

Hang in there, Team! Arrrr for Rich! :)

02/07/2007 10:53:43 PM · #187

Arrr for Rich, Great job thus far for Woman_Who_Strives_For_Blue_Ribbons (rofl), and best wishes on the business Lee. My slammed in Good is hovering barely above 5 w/90 votes and 1 comment.

I'll do better this week me mateys...Let's kick some ARRRRRRse!

I wanna new name...mine is stupid!!

02/08/2007 07:01:15 AM · #188

Hey Kat,

Just be sure to check out the newest admin announcment concerning name changes. There are some guidelines you will need to follow if you want to change your name.

As for me, I am hovering around a 5.1 in the BAD challenge. Which is guess isnt to BAD considering I started at a 4.82. I have a great, stupendous idea on the fruits and veggies challenge. That might get us at least a 6+ if I can pull it off.

Keep your fingers crossed and good luck shooting this week

Rich

02/08/2007 09:08:30 PM · #189

I'm in on Fruits and Veggies!!! Great idea... marginal execution. We'll see if I break 5.5.

02/08/2007 09:43:12 PM · #190

I have a couple of ideas for fruites & veggies....haven't ventured towards the camera yet but I will...I will! :)

Avast ship mateys! I've just submitted my "Fruits & Veggies" entry.
My hopes for this one are high...but I've known my share of disappointment with high predictions on the high seas! What other seafarer might there be in for this challenge?
Arrr!
Grog all ye 'round!

02/11/2007 01:23:30 AM · #194

Will be workin' the fruits and vegetables cart tomorrow! Will also try to do one of the others. I'm thrilled that my "Good" photo is currently still over 5, lol! Having said that...we may not need my score...top 4 count and you may all beat me! :P

Where's the grog???!! Cap'n....Elizadeb guzzled all the grog!!(climbs the mast to go pout in the crow's nest!)

02/11/2007 02:06:30 PM · #195

How many shipmates are in "Personification" and how be yer scores?!
I'm hovering near the 5.7 range. Not horrible but I would have liked to bring a "6" to the team.
My "Bad" score is not good...hovering at 5.2 plus. Ugg!

Report ye scores, all seafarers! How be ye?

I'm in "Personification". My score though is the personification of horrible. Seems most voters don't get my creativity and thus I am stranded on 3.7.....

Other than that I am just peachy thank you for asking! Did a shoot with a lovely model today, might post some pics up later.

Just entered my veggie, hoping that will get a better score!!

Har!

solid 5 in personification. hopefully better the the person im playin.

02/11/2007 11:57:26 PM · #198

Entered GOOD as I missed Personificaton. Down to 5.16 (arrrrrgh) at the moment. Just threw my fruit in the bowl, (not literally so don't go there, lol) so will see how that one fairs. Also going to shoot a School Days challenge, but not sure which one. The more I shoot...I figure it gives me a chance to possible do better than just one stupid score for the team to use. (Which would probably suk!) :P Good luck me harties!

Ok...what a trip to hit the update button and have more than one photo going...whoa! LOL!
