Good ideas, guys.
1. Let's rename this thread Discussion and Previews for April Photo Essay Challenge
2. Let's make it a requirement that all photo essays start as a DPC thumbnail, regardless of where they end up. Comments can be collected there. |
So, (er, um) it's May already. Next step?
:)

Mine's ready. Except for the title. Oh, I have one. It fits and is accurate, but it is so irreverent.
And oh dear, does it not do this photo essay justice.
What's a girl to do. (Where's Ann Landers when one needs her.)

Twice I started with colourful images of humans or animals, and twice I ended up with inanimate harsh B&W abstracts. If the next one ends up there, I'll be forced to buy a Nikon as it must be the camera's fault.. |
Funny you mentioned this color vs B&W thing Herman!
I decided to post a color photo cycle to challenge myself a bit and stray from B&W - at least it's a good experiment unless one is color blind.
Now you gave me an idea for a title. Why not "colorful humans" or, to stay away from metaphor and more to the point "humans in color" (and perhaps squeeze an animal or two) |
Soooo... Guess what happened? I started to get my nice elephants into a folder for consideration, but after 15 minutes I was busy collating close to b&w moonshots. Went through 2009 to 2013 images, [+- 100 000] and NOW I read this reply instruction order...
And me with no tags on any of my images. Why didn't you phone to tell me? Hehe.

ah, hopes (pronounced hopeeze) may be a new disease... as for colour I have an old Nikon p and s that does better black and white than any of my conversions.
Mariuca, did you mean that - "squeeze and animal or two"? I'm sure in the gentlest of ways... |

Glad we continue - I will participate even if I produce only a partial gathering of images.
Posting on May 1? |

I've got one that just needs a bit of polishing and it should be ready by the end of the month.
This is a lot of fun. |

It's a blog.

Any & all comments welcome.

I think using a blog format makes that plain. I would have done it that way if I weren't so lazy busy. |

I enjoyed reading the February photoessays by Paul and Don. That influenced my decision to write something in blog format. I'm hoping you don't compare mine to theirs but I thought it would be fun to give it a try. My previous two photo essay attempts were more galleries of images with limited writing. Please feel free to critique what I've offered. Agree or not, I love to hear different ideas.

I am another one thinking of posting an illustrated blog here. As I read  insteps blog, I felt an impulse to let the words change the way I saw the pictures. I felt another impulse to add my own words, sometimes in disagreement. That felt a little presumptuous. It holds me back from commenting.
Is the combination of words & pictures better if it's more like a storybook? Entertaining, interesting, but not sparking any independent outside-the-story thoughts in the viewer? I'm wondering how I find that fine line between 'blog' and 'story.' And if I want the viewer to feel free to disagree with me, or add their comments to mine, how do I make that plain? |

I put this together for March but April will do just fine.

With that in mind, I'll throw my depersonalization disorder photography into the pot for April essay  |

| I too, with the little time that I have, could not truly give justice to the entries in writing. Just revel in their viewing. |

| I never got around to commenting on all the Februaries... Truly they were easier to ponder than to pontificate upon. |
