I do, but it's an extended loan. I'll take her back either when she's rich or 18 and moving out. *g*

Hmmm, thanks for the offer, but I'm not quite so keen on the extended loan idea....

Quick question from a newbie:

What is the difference between a 'Member Challange' and an 'Exclusive Open Challange'?

Only paying members can participate in Member challenges. Anyone can enter an open challenge, however the exclusive means you can only enter one per round of challenges.

Eh, no, they don't over here because they got plenty of money from the government.

And I still do not have a clue what these challenges are actually about.
A school day is a day when a school has some kind of event?

To me "School Days" is only an indication to remind yourself your days at school, when you were learning Biology or Music. Just an impression, a kind of reminiscence. I wouldn't mind much with the word "School" in it, but probably a child in the picture may make it ranked higher by some of the DPCers. The most important to me is a strong link with Music or Biology as a science (since we learn science at school). So, maybe not necessary a flower in the garden, but maybe a flower as a subject of a study or observation in a controlled enviroment.

Just my thoughts.

At the risk of sounding cynical. I'm predicting that about 20% of the school days: music entries will feature a guitar. It seems people on this site love their guitars.

I don't know about guitars but I sure do love your profile pic. Reshoot that with her playing a saxophone and lose the dude. :P

Ok, thanks.

Hmm, next problem:
I skipped the music lessons to play pool and during biology I wasn't paying attention to the dissected frog but more to the features of the feminine side of the homo sapiens present in that class.....

Hmmm....... Ok, could be an idea. :)

Okay, back from my "Perfect" opportunity - laughing ironically to myself - but as I was setting out, the clouds came over and the rain started falling and all the lovely natural light went shy on me (baring in mind we're at the height of summer and it hasn't rained in 2 months): ugh! Anyway, gave it my best shot. Not sure how it will do: sitting now with a decision to make between 3 shots.

I did both Biology and Music in Yr 11 and 12 of course I hated biology and gave it up after one year, Music after Art was my top scoring subject ^_^
We were a wild music class lol
02/08/2007 08:17:51 PM · #66
An idea not talked about yet regarding School Days: Music

How about shots depicting music with school related subjects?
Schools Out For Summer - Alice Cooper
Hot For Teacher - Van Halen
Don't Stand So Close To Me - Police

I'm sure there's others.

OK...major snowstorm here last night, so school was called off. Now I can work on my School entry. I'm feeling a lot of pressure with this because I TEACH BIOLOGY! You think it might be easier to have access to a lab? HA! I've taken some pictures in my classroom, but I think my best entry is going to be one that I did at home.

If you claim to be a photographer AND a teacher of biology THEN you'd have some pressure. So, are you a photographer? :D

Look forward to seeing your entry on the front page when all is said and done.

I have 4 potential entries from the weekend, but I'm not happy so I'm going to play hookie from work this afternoon and try to get something better! Don't tell the boss! :D


02/13/2007 11:36:32 AM · #70
entered my shot for the Biology challenge, quite pleased with it really. Good Luck to all!
02/13/2007 11:37:25 AM · #71
i have a biology degree and am having a hard time coming up with an idea. i also play a couple instruments, and am having a hard time with ideas there too...

maybe it's because my left eye is swollen to the point of serious pain. my eye caused me to miss the 'fruit and veggie' challenge even though i had a killer idea, and no one else entered anything similar - ppfffffftttt - errr anyone got a sterile spoon?

EDIT: it's obviously making it difficult to type as well...
