Re: Bananas Quarterly Issue 3 Photo Contest

Re: Bananas Quarterly Issue 3 Photo Contest
here's another one, my daughter (13) Rachel took it over the weekend. She wants to take photography class next year in school. I'm not sure she really needs it! What do you think?

Re: Bananas Quarterly Issue 3 Photo Contest
Wasn't there a rule that they were all supposed to be taken with the camera straight up? There is no way they can even fit in the magazine page unless they are longer width than height.
Sadly, I don't think I have anything worthy this time! |

Re: Bananas Quarterly Issue 3 Photo Contest
OK, folkies! The contest is officially closed, and let me tell you we will have a really hard time judging it this quarter. I hope to have winners back by next week sometime.
Thanks to all who participated! Quote:

Re: Bananas Quarterly Issue 3 Photo Contest
I'm working on it, folks, but I'm hindered by a total lack of household internet and also the sheer volume of excellent photos submitted. Hopefully we'll have winners next week!

Re: Bananas Quarterly Issue 3 Photo Contest
Take your time. These folks take some fantastic shots. I don't envy you. (If you have no current, how are you posting? You have some monkeys on a treadmill?)
