I thought this was a beautiful theme. I'm not very good at searching for past challenges on this site ( I just don't get how to do it properly), so I don't know if there were more than two challenges, but anyway, the last one really stood out for me as a challenge idea and just an example of great, heartfelt photography.
Whaddya think?
Environmental Portrait II

You're also not terribly good with the posting of the posts.
But damn you are amazing at picking challenge suggestions. ;)
I'd be 100% for this.
ETA: Aww, hell you fixed it... It was still a good joke, so I'm leaving it. :D

Yeah, the last one was a while back, hey? Can't believe this hasn't been picked up again yet. SO many opportunities to tell stories.

It's a lovely shot, I think this person got it right:

You know what's funny? It's really not a very striking image. It doesn't pop. It doesn't have bright flashy colors. Or crazy effects. It doesn't have some heart-stopping beauty with lips that would a blind man cry.
It's the photographic equivalent of a warm, soft sweater.
I cannot even count how many times over recent years I have recollected this image and tried to learn from it or apply it to something I am doing. It is such a clean and pure example of how to do a photo just right.
Maybe it's weird, but when I think of Bear, I think of the steamed seafood on the East Coast, I think of a guy hiking in the mountains hauling a huge-arse wooden tripod with a large format camera, only to lose it over a soft embankment, spilling noiselessly into some remote valley, but ultimately preserving that with real value. I think of a guy who loves landscapes and can work magic with a 20D and a non-L APS-C lens.
And when I think about portraits - environmental portraits. I think of Jim Talin and bear. What would be a simple snapshot for some is a carefully planned, immacculately executed combination of function and expression.
It's always there in my mind as a reminder of what I need to do to do it right.
It's something you never want to forget. |

| This does sound quite interesting, I might be up for going up to a complete stranger in some fancy looking business, I love doing things like that! |
