I think the key is motivation. If someone offered me a billion bucks to take a picture of a toilet seat of course I would..I'd be motivated to do it. But I just can't find motivation to take photos for a competition, sorry. You all say it's just a fun thing, but for me competing is never FUN. In my reality I am pretty much forced to be the best at everything I do, and I would like this place to be an escape from all that, where I'm allowed to make mistakes. If I do something badly, for whatever reason, I punish myself for it somehow. It is the way I have been brought up. I don't want to feel like I have to be the best here. Because I really enjoy photography and I don't want to ruin it by my own ambitions. Call me a wimp all you want.
