I'll join your team Mary. You know how I feel about scores. LOL!

Thanks to all for the comments. A few of you said it would be a great Vanishing Point shot. That's what generally happens to me. I take a shot one day, and the next day a challenge begins that my shot would fit perfectly.

Just my stinkin' luck.

Go shoot it again and do it in B&W this time. Try it at an angle. See what fun you can have with it. And I know what you mean - that happens to me, too!

Just in case there is confusion -

Within the DPL there will be forum threads (visible only to your team) and you are allowed to discuss current and planned entries for your team because you won't be able to vote on them.

Within team suck (as in, this thread) you should not discuss planned / current entries because there is no mechanism in place to stop you voting on them, and it's best to keep the suck thread in good standing. Discuss as much as you like after challenges :)

I tried to send an invite to you. If you don't get it let me know - I have no idea what I'm doing.

hit "save team configuration" *before* you hit "Send Invitations" or it won't work.

I'm too slow creatively sometimes. I have about 4 awesome ideas for a Seuss entry.. Maybe I'll do one for the Free Study.

EDIT - Got it! And accepted!

The only problem with that is that it's 100 miles away! I took my birthday off work last month and spent the day in the thumb (the thumb part of Michigan). That's where Harbor Beach is. With gas prices the way they are, it would cost me an arm and a leg to go back. I'm just going to have to find something closer.

Makes me feel like I belong here.

I look forward to commenting on all your awesome shots once I finally have my regular intravenous supply of broadband...

That is a clunky system. I randomly sent invites out to other team suck members.

Oh, and, behold my new PB (personal brown):)

He got two invites. One from Kelly and one from digitalknight.

Edit - Oops on the Krystal...

Mary, I know wildcard accepted an invite to another team. Why don't you ask her to go decline it, then invite kashi?

Edit to add: Anyone who got an invite from Mary, if you're already on a team, please decline so that other invites can be sent. Thanks!

Mary should see a "remove" link on their names so she doesn't have to wait.

Do I need to sign on as a free agent to get an invite ? Or just wait ?

I think just wait until Mary sees this.

I got an absolutely hilarious comment on my culture entry - can't write exactly what it was, but involved the commenter querying if he had been drinking too much or if it was my photo...

Hmmm...I believe I just joined the DPL Out of Focusers - I hit "accept" and it seemed to take...

This doesn't mean I have to always shoot OOF does it? :P
