If you want to make a comment about someone's entry in this month's competitive Photo Assignment "The Human Condition", please post in this thread.

Janet, thanks for a great subject with a wide variety of possibilities.

Hope we get lots of submissions!

Just like to say "Great choice for this months assignment title" Really got me thinking about what I can come up with, and I've not come up with anything yet

Chris, as I was reading your comment, I anxiously anticipated a revelation and literally laughed out loud. Can hardly wait to see everyone's submissions!

[Little Fisher]

Wow! That is a broad subject. Almost anything could come out of it. I can't wait to see the new entries.

Thinking for now,

I just added an entry. I'm not sure how well it fits w/the subject. My thought was that as humans we have evolved technologically, but still there are those of us on Earth who still live in a primitive way. It is especially interesting to see both ways in one place.

LF, sounds goods to me. I haven't decided yet what to try, but comparisons and contrasts of human behavior are certainly on my list of possibilities. I haven't ever thought of fishing as "primitive", but it is interesting to see it with the urban-scape background. We have urban fishing in city lake-parks, but the background has been landscaped to look like nature.

Since I couldn't decide between these three for the theme this month. These are posted just to be posting and NOT for the contest. That would be skewing the results way too much.

Janet Petty,

Do your photos go together to tell a story? If so, could you tell it to us?

LF

[Janet Petty]

The first two go together. A close friend lost his business to lightening. They are two pictures of the 200 I took of the volunteer cleanup effort.

The last one is a lady I met at the Fiddler's Convention. Interesting face, huh!

Janet

[chrishoggy]

Well I'm still thinking of what my shot should be. I've had a few ideas and taken quite a few photos, but nothing I'm happy with yet

[Janet Petty]

Come on folks. Time is a wasting. We only have a few entries. Don't let this thread die for lack of interest. Submit. Submit. Submit. Please

I don't want this thread to die so I'm posting an old photo I took in the 80's. Not sure how well it fits with this month's theme, but, ... wanted to submit something.
Used a Canon AE1, probably w/ a wide angle lens, don't remember any of the settings or film speed; scanned this from the original slide, had to lighten the overall image in photoshop but that's it.

[CJ Swartz]

Susie, I can see why you chose to capture that moment in time of an adorable child in a traditionally adorable pose.

Sorry, but I cannot allow that image to be considered in the Photo Assignment for April voting -- the rules state that the image must be created during the timeframe: Time-frame for shooting your image: April 1, 2007 to April 25th, 2007 (a Wednesday) at 9 pm EDT.

The Photo Assignment thread won't die, but we might have folks not meet the deadline if we don't "hurry" to visualize what we're going to shoot and get the entry submitted by April 25th. I have an idea finally that I want to shoot, but I have to wait for an event to occur this week. Hope I get my entry in this time.

[lcramer53]

OOops! Sorry about that, CJ!

I'm looking forward to seeing the entries; everyone is so talented!

No problem! I'm looking forward to seeing the entries also, BUT why don't YOU go outside (or even stay inside) and shoot an entry -- there is still time before April 25th!!!!

Just want to say sorry for not entering this month. I was due to go out on a photo shooting mission this weekend for the contest, but I was evacuated from the house first thing Saturday morning. We had a small fire in a business near us, and in the middle of it was some gas cylinders. So we all got moved out to a safe distance and then put in hotels for the night. Thankfully none exploded, but it sure did mess up my weekend plans.

Yikes! What a scary event so close to home! So glad that there were no explosions, and hope that the fire was extinguished before it did lots of damage. Too bad you didn't have time to shoot the ideas you'd been thinking about.

Of course, there's still time before the deadline Wednesday, so you may find some extra time with camera in hand...
