From our fearless leader,  posthumous:
"This thread belongs to Team Suck, a ragtag group of militia... um... photographers who compatriate more than compete, more interested in winging than winning, in love than lustre.
We don't let a low score get in the way of a dream!
As our seditious philosophy gained ground, our ranks grew, until we became more than just a team. We became a league of teams in wholesome if not entirely serious competition with each other. And that's the way we all became Team Suck.
This thread is for suckers to commiserate and compete. It can also be used for anyone with questions or comments about the Suck lifestyle. If you do wish to join us, we ask that you participate at DPC for a while to see if sucking really is your style, and we ask that you fulfill whatever half-brained initiation we come up with at that moment."
Rule of Thirds applies to *composition*, not subject.
Nominate OOBIE or YAPPIE!

Team Suck Policy Statement
posthumous quote:
"I don't make these very often. In fact, I might never make these, but this is a pretty fundamental policy that I'm talking about, and it's a necessary one for our survival in DPC. It has to do with 'voting' practices. Obviously, we are not responsible for the 'voting' practices of our members, but to go further I'd like to suggest some guidelines for how Team Suckers vote:
- We do not share photos with each other and then vote on them.
- We do not vote higher on images just because we think they were made by a member of Team Suck.
- We do not encourage each other to vote higher for certain types or styles of images. We pride ourselves on our variety of tastes and styles.
- We do not encourage any particular 'voting' method, though we might frown at people with 3.67 'voting' averages and make grumbling noises.
- The only way we might influence 'voting' is indirectly, by enriching everyone's tastes and opening their minds to what can be beautiful, and this sort of discussion is never about an identifiable picture in a current challenge."

Can I take a picture and enter it into affluent? I damn near got arrested yesterday taking a photo of a very large house. I explained to the cop my rights as a photographer, he explained to me that ether I go, or he would find something to cause me problems. I said goodbye have a good day..

Nice. Like the big windows. Makes for lovely natural light!
And somehow I've missed this quote from our Fearless Leader before:
- We do not encourage any particular 'voting' method, though we might frown at people with 3.67 'voting' averages and make grumbling noises.

Umm! There's someone wearing a crown, Deb! She wants her chair back?? The one with the nice red seat and gold frame. Does that strike a chord with you?? :)) |

| Well, I'm just going to plop on this big comfy couch and munch some popcorn and drink a margarita. Anyone want any? The popcorn is buttery and the margarita's are salty! Excellent combo. |

Careful there with that glugging, unless you don't plan to drive anywhere soon. LOL!
BTW - Our palace needs a prince, and I have just the fellow... 
Of course, he's still waiting to be kissed. ROFL! |

Ernie, I apologize if I hurt your feelings. It wasn't my intention. Just relax a bit, have a margarita (they're quite tasty). We'd hate to lose you over something as silly as an internet thread argument. You're a great guy with a usually helpful, cheerful attitute. We all have our little pet peeves and we all get angry sometimes. No hard feelings, please. |
