I think this is so very cool - what wonderful variety. I wonder why some are declining the prize. I don't know how to suggest this, but if it is because they don't want to redeem it because they don't need it, I'm thinking that, if won, it could easily be regifted and that would be completely in the spirit of the challenge. I would like to see as many essays as possible in for full consideration from the judge(s)


Hmm, you're right - it would be SUPER cool if someone just took it and created another side challenge with it if they really didn't want it.

already seeing amazing stuff on the entries thread. Thank you!

Photo Essays

If you want to make comments on the photo essays, I will open the thread for comments on Wednesday, when the deadline for entering is over.

Just wanted to mention... BO2013 is coming up. If you take a couple hours to look through last year's photos for an entry for that, you may find a nice little photo essay just waiting to be culled from the mix.

Uh-oh. I'm rereading and I think the deadline might be tonight and not tomorrow (Tuesday)night. Don, can you clarify?


deadline is tomorrow night, the 14th at "turnover time".

And once I see who hasn't entered, I'll have my final list of judges and will make it public.

I wanted to do this but life got in the way, but I will be commenting on all the entrants.

The fun is about to begin! I look forward to seeing all the different entries & hope to gain a better understanding of 'photo essay' by commenting. I plan to report what I think I see, & my reaction to it, as soon as it's OK to comment..

Two words for mine ... cam-py!

I'm committing to post a series - not much time to plan something "artistic" but will use shots taken more or less as a document on the street on a particular day.
I'm from the old school where a "photo essay" is a general term meaning a more expansive view than one photo can deliver. So, it can be a concentration of shots for any purpose at all. Of course, as with any "essay", the quality will ultimately be judged for its coherence, theme, message, or whatever, even as an abstract presentation.
My hope is that this idea would catch on and become a regular part of the dpc experience and even a regular challenge topic including relevant development to accommodate multiple entries for the topic.

I'm as ready as I'm going to be...
01/12/2014 06:18:45 PM · #20
I believe I'm in as well. This call for entries has happily coincided with a small project I've been working on...
01/12/2014 03:59:20 PM · #21
And fun it was! I'm ready to post. No idea if it's an essay, but it is what it is.
01/12/2014 12:14:43 AM · #22
On Monday I will start a new thread that is only for posting entries. Discussion can continue here.

Remember there is no date range restriction for photos. Have fun!

Thanks for the bump, or I may have missed this.... I have no idea where to start, but would love to play.

There's still time, Deb.

Meanwhile, I have got to say 'thank you' to posthumous for starting this side challenge.

For more years than I care to remember, I have written newsletters for photo clubs as well as other groups.
This should have been an 'easy' challenge for me. But, it turns out, no!
Enjoyable as the exercise is, I come back to my essay from a brief absence,
and find it necessary to prune and change the mode again and again.
