Ready for the next contest.

People is ok, harder to do though. How about animals?? [easier to photograph without asking permission, though harder to get stood still!]

Nah. That'd just be a bunch of photos of people's pets. It'd be lame. Plus, not everybody has access to animals. How about ... eh.. . fire? orr...ehm... water. yeah. Firewater. Pictures that involve drinking.

think we'll start up the new 'People' one after halloween.
so sort thru your iPhoto and isolate some of your best shots with humans in them.
remember: be creative.

DH: I setup G2, but it seems to be lacking in a few important things, such as voting, and the ability to hide the owners of photos, and such.

Can you move the deadline to something after the holiday season? I won't have time for the next couple of weeks as I finish my thesis now. Plus I guess it's a perfect opportunity for all us amateurs to unpack our gear

any reason why this thread is a sticky? only a handful of people seem to be concerned with it.
