"Twas a Bright DPChristmas" by posthumous

Download the MP3! (by Konador)

View the Slideshow! or the YouTube version (by Art Roflmao)

'Twas a bright DPChristmas, and all through the site ---------- ( Konador)
not a photo was blurring, not even at night. ---------- ( Telehubbie)
The settings were checked in the cameras with care ---------- ( muckpond)
in hopes that blue ribbons soon would be theirs. ---------- ( alanfreed)

While images nestled all snug in their cards, ---------- ( albright1)
(filling up 50 Gig drives wasn’t hard!) ---------- ( magnetic9999)
a punked-out Achoo, and Larus in drag, ---------- ( Judi)
had just settled in to the forums to brag ---------- ( james_so)

when out from the ether arose a new challenge ---------- ( Manic)
to which DPCers all charged in a phalange. ---------- ( levyj413)
What devious plot had Langdon and Drew ---------- ( Langdon)
cooked up to befuddle the DPC crew? ---------- ( drewmedia)

When Judi first saw it, she flung off her clothes, ---------- ([user]fotomann_forever[/user])
DrAchoo glued a bug to his nose, ---------- ( DrAchoo)
recalcitrant members paid up their fees ---------- ( Krystle)
while Leroy just smiled and pulled out the cheese. ---------- ( lkn4truth)

Librodo threw open his closet of scarves, ---------- ( raish)
Icelandic landscapes were shipped in from Mars, ---------- ( Chiqui)
all to prepare for this wonder of wonders, ---------- ( dassilem)
this challenge that plowed other challenges under: ---------- ( DeniseBernadette)

“This week, ‘tis the season to give all you can, ---------- ( GeneralE)
don’t shoot Low Key, Without Subject, or Zen, ---------- ( sabphoto)
give us eye candy, nothing outré, ---------- ( Nobody)
up the Wow Factor and blow us away!” ---------- ( lentil)

As the midnight ride of a nation’s dawn, ---------- ( sfalice)
or the message that ran from far Marathon, ---------- ( Kita)
these glorious words flew o’er the globe, ---------- ( KaDi)
a gospel to gladden the grumpiest Job. ---------- ( Di)

All the great heroes would throw their lots in, ---------- ( ursula)
the whispers began right away: “Who would win?” ---------- ( Beetle)
Competition was fierce, the payoff was huge, ---------- ( ivaldovi)
to be Best of the Best, to o’ertop the deluge! ---------- ( love)

A thousand pictures… two thousand were entered, ---------- ( sher9204)
beautiful wind-blown models off centered, ---------- ( MattO)
utterly fanatic photography nerds ---------- ( metatate)
put shiny baubles directly on thirds ---------- ( jenesis)

with alien bees and silver reflectors ---------- ( Ware3927)
lighting the treasures of jewel collectors. ---------- ( snowflakejen)
Young Arnit spiraled construction paper ---------- ( Mambe)
so many times it curled like a vapor, ---------- ( plamprec)

and speaking of vapor, food dyes were poured ---------- ( JuliBoc)
in water as clear as a Nordic fjord. ---------- ( silverfoxx
Cattails paraded ‘neath cloud hieroglyphs ---------- ( roba)
as Bear_Music waited for just the right skiff. ---------- ( Bear_Music)

After what seemed like an infinite time lapse ---------- ( Kavey)
the turnover hit like fierce thunderclaps, ---------- ( cryingdragon)
it shook DP Challenge down to its core, ---------- ( skewsme)
none could believe the highest high score. ---------- ( quiet_observation)

The picture stood bare, like an old piece of wood, ---------- ( Art Roflmao)
exposing its texture and feeling, it stood ---------- ( Snek)
like a beacon of presence burst forth from the wrapping ---------- ( RayEthier)
whose glitter had faded, its energy sapping. ---------- ( jmsetzler)

Where content was king, form had o’erthrown. ---------- ( Louis)
With beauty skin deep, the blue found the bone. ---------- ( L2)
Jjbeguin had shown them the light, ---------- ( posthumous)
“Chiaroscuro to all, and to all black and white!” ---------- ( kirbic)

This my friends, is utterly awesome. It is indeed refreshing to note that peoples from all over the globe can indeed get together and share precious moments.

Rest assured that I will indeed record this, and keep it as a souvenir of the wonderful peoples I encountered on this site.

A very Merry Christmas to all.

That's got to be one of the best things I ever heard.

I love that it's a collaborative effort assembled from all over the globe.

Wonderful sense of "inside" humour, and a spirited reading by all the contributors.

Good job everybody. Thanks for the laughs.

Fan-friggin'-tastic!

Ben, you rock, and all the readers, you rock, too.

I'll echo the sentiments of others that hearing the various accents really drives home what a global community we have here.

What a heart-warming thing to hear at this season. :)

Well my friend, I heard it and so did my very dear friend Beetle, and we both loved hearing your voice again, as it brought back a flood of very warm memories.
