I know a couple of DPC members but the ones I know are not in my area.

Yo Robert, you got any preference in the gauge used in the shooting. :O)

Go to Community, click on Photographers Profiles, click on Location then type in the name of the country and return... Voila done.
Have a great time,

I only pose for "cannons"; "nicking" me won't stop me in my tracks. That's all I have to say on that...

of course they could-- tho the voters will probably expect to see something diffrent in each shoot- (IE if its just a face portrait setup for both images and they look alike and wearin same cloths- one will proli get pegged because ppl expect to see a diffrence? :-) |

Actually, the question is, is everyone going to give the photo of THEMSELVES a 10?? :) |
LoL -- and then how many will give other images 1's to balance out the 10's thereby balancing the score back to 0 ? :-D it would be interesting to see a 10 and a 1 vote back to back.... |

Of course one should take this into consideration, just as one would when meeting a stranger in church or in a bar.
The fact that you met someone on line does not make them any more dangerous than if you met that same stranger in the company of your cousin Gertrude.

As a woman I understand your concern. But you take calculated risks every moment of the day. No different from every time you get in your car and drive somewhere. You can be the best driver out, but it only takes a random knothead shooting a red light or passing to closely to ruin your life.
Every time I get on the back of horse, whether it is one I know well or not, I am taking the risk that I could end up making a flying dismount. So before I get on I suss out the horse as best I can. I wear proper riding gear - helmet, chaps, riding boots and yes crash vest, more often than not. Even so that didn't stop one horse I was riding from taking a bad step, going down like the Titanic, and catapulting me clear out of the tack. I ended up with a broken collarbone.
Last year I had  Quigley come and stay with me as a houseguest for three days. I had never met him in person before or outside of dpc. We had a wonderful time, got lots of great photos, and set the basis for a friendship.
And almost a year ago, I saw a local photographer's work online, told him about dpc and after corresponding for about a month or so, we finally met up for a shoot. That was Ryan, aka Magnumphotography.
And had I not been peeking over the shoulder of a complete stranger at the local library almost 5 years ago, I never would have learned about dpc or met RayEthier.
So, you exercise caution. Listen to your instincts. Meet and shoot in a public place. Look at their portfolios and see what they like to shoot, read their posts on forum threads. Sadly you can't be completely trusting, but you don't want to have one hand on the camera and the other on a can of Mace! |

My advice to  Love6: pack pepper spray. Especially if meeting up with  nshapiro, he shoots things he's not comfortable with!
...and gets ribbons for doing so! |

Would be good to see the SC enforce some rule such as "must of been a member for at least 1 month prior to challenge being announced".

And it can work out well, cause in addition to shooting for challenges (either together or independently) you have company on shoots, someone to learn from, a possible model and/or stand-in for you if you're shooting a self-portrait, someone to help you choose entries, someone to go shooting with just for fun, and most importantly... someone to bitch about dpc with! ;-) |

So people don't just get someone to sign up so they can shoot them for the challenge. There are plenty of ways to skirt the spirit of the challenge for this one and not be DQ'd. Same as it is for lots of other challenges with unverifiable topics. Should make for some interesting post-challenge drama. :-) |

So are you saying that I am cheating just because Ingrid coincidentally decided to sign up to be a DPC member today and I will be submitting a portrait of her? I can ensure you that the prepaid-by-me membership had nothing to do with this particular challenge. :p |

Wouldn't quite be the same membership drive for DPC if everyone was able to use a pre-existing member for the shoot !

Another question which I don't think has been asked already:
Do we have to put the member's Username as the title of the picture / include it in the details of the picture / leave it out all together??? |

If I have time to shoot for this challenge I plan to leave it out and put it in the details ... my boyfriend created an account years ago and added me as his favorite photographer ... he hasn't really participated on the site, so if I use his username for the title, and someone looks it up ... they'll see that the image is probably mine, which negates my anonymity ... |
