I am not sure what you guys think,but,what a shame this thread has died.

Perhaps no one has sent Mark any images to consider..... I'm sure we can get it up and running again.

Well some ideas http://www.billgekas.com/p1014938437 if you like photographing your kiddies ...can't see any reason why you can't get the same basic results with a film camera, well assuming he used digital gear.

I have been really bad at sending Mark any photos I've seen recently, it has slipped under the radar a bit. If Mark is still up for this I'm sure it can be resurrected if there's enough interest from the f&c massive.

OI! Who are you calling massive, its hormonal and I suffer from water retention (or possibly cake/lager retention)

... the f&c massive.

Nick, when I said I wanted to do more street, I meant photography rather than culture.



Badum and, indeed, tish.

Just felt guilty, not keeping up with things... I've spent so little time on TP, let alone in F&C that I'm feeling like I've got the green badge under false pretences... I'm guessing if I hadn't been so slack for the couple of weeks prior to the hiatus, people would have continued to keep nominating - as there was no sight of anything happening, obviously, people think "why bother if that lazy arse can't..." and it all drys up.

Wasn't difficult at all - I just back-tracked on the "Show Us..." thread to the point of the last entry, and scrolled down until something gob-smacked me. So, owing to my own personal preferences, there's lots of still lifes and landscapes, and very few if any people shots... I've also sort of stayed clear of obvious "archive dredging" stuff - even though some of it was great in its own right and triggered memories, but it's not the "new work" I actually like to try and promote on that thread.

Truth be told, I've had something of a major change in circumstances since starting the thread, and, well - frankly, I've gone from a "full time carer" for someone who needed 24-7 assistance (so I was basically pretty much tied to the house myself) to trying to earn a crust and keep a roof over my head since the loss of my Dad a while ago. So, while I still don't get enough time to myself to actually go out and take photo's - I'm not around the house or at the computer for 10 hours a day either, and frankly, my time on TP has had to be curtailed, and more focussed on actually doing the job I was enlisted to do - i.e. help with the smooth running of the forum (and not "putting upon" my fellow mods)... to the detriment perhaps, of spending time in F&C enjoying everyone's company - that's the downside of this being the (generally) better behaved bit of the forum I guess...

Well we do have Roberts to help keep things tidy and sort out any disputes in his normal understated way...

If you get the time to keep the thread up and running (and some nominations of course) then that's great, if not, well, we will probably be alright anyway
