Hey Alpha when did the decision to take street pictures happen? I thought we were still in the voting stage with respect to that. I checked out the August photo contest thread and I'm not quite sure when the suggestion appeared to take street pictures appeared. First there was some suggestions to take portraits. Then there was the guggestion to restart the thread. When when the thread was restarted it was suggested to take portraits. Most said that it was OK. I deffered-basically because I didn't understand where that idea came from. From what I gather you are almost validating that the portrait contest is a fact. However I have no information to indicate this. While we're on the subject of past threads what happened to the photo essay idea? I liked it. Does anyone else want to make a photo essay other than me and Alpha and Jordy? Bsteph
