OK, I've got an idea. Actually, my friend Lee Gum had the idea, but I had the idea to take his idea and deploy it here as the next Hawaii Threads "contest"! I mean, we gotta do something to try and fill the hole left by the ending of Scrivener's Trivia Game, right?
Details will come in a few days. I haven't worked out all the particulars yet, but it will work something like this:
Contest will be open to registered Hawaii Threads users (who have actually posted something publicly on Hawaii Threads!). You'll have to fill in a form on my web site (I'll post the url when ready) requesting an account in my photo gallery. I'll set up the requested accounts for participants.
Then, periodically I'll publish a "subject" for the contest photo. The subjects wil be open to your interpretation as photographic artists. But for example, one subject might be "aloha" and it would be up to you as to how your photo shows or expresses aloha.
You would then go to your photo gallery and post the resulting photo, with any artist's notes you deem appropriate or helpful in understanding your interpretation. (One photo per assigned subject.)
In all there may be 12 subjects, maybe more. We'll see how it goes.
I am not at all sure how the photos will be judged and what would constitute a "winner." I am open to suggestions by interested parties.
I'm thinking I'll have "divisions" for regular digital photos with a point-and-shoot camera, camera phone photos and maybe a professional category for guys who either do this for a living or are using high-end digital photo equipment. (It'll be Scout's Honor -- I know who you are!) Any other suggestions?
What do you guys think? Reply here and if there's enough interest, I'll crank it up on my end.
Aloha,
Blaine
