I had a cop stop me once when I was taking pictures of the approach to a historical marker. Fortunately, I’d already gotten what I needed, so I could comply without losing anything, and I didn’t have to go through the whole explanation thing.

I was in the mall once trying to take pictures of the exterior of Victoria Secret’s “Pink” store (for the Pink contest) and the manager told me to stop. That was private property and my wife was working at a kiosk nearby, so I complied.

I haven’t had any other negative interruptions. Plenty of positive ones, though.

When doing our southern trip this year I remember seeing one of those “If you see something, say something” posters and the 3rd picture was of a guy pointing his camera in the general direction of a power substation. I muttered something obscene and continued walking (had the poster not been behind glass I might have done more). We have become a nation of paranoid sissies, and I hate it.

We’re at 6. I’ll give this one a few more days.

Vote now, ‘cuz it might be gone if you don’t.

Also, could you spare me some time? I am starting to feel depressed that I have not participated much lately.

Time? School starts this week. Time is a commodity I will not have starting Tuesday. The only reason I’m going to do that work is the urgency. The last few months the Jeep’s been lightly used while I’ve been riding my bike as much as possible. With school and the possibility of tutoring, the Jeep HAS to start easily, not questionably.

Time ain’t something I’ve got any more.

Now that it’s hoppered, quick question: do we have to shoot ALL the pieces, or can we take something apart and shoot only 1 or a few of the pieces?

For the second, admittedly, I wouldn’t have to take a thing all the way apart, but only shoot the photogenic piece(s).

For example, I’m likely to be changing my starter, and also soon the spark plugs and wires. If I can make a cool melange of these parts, I wouldn’t have to disassemble the entire Jeep.

I need a Judges ruling: Are we limiting this to edible fruits and vegetables? Would pumpkins, in Jack O Lanterns count? What about persons wearing costumes representing a fruit or vegetable?

I’m good with letting the voters decide. I’m also fine with repeating whatever the decision was last time.

OK… fine… I STILL have to winnow down from the 5 I winnowed down to…

Is it a sunrise if it’s the horizon BEFORE the sun pops up?

I’ve got some shots from Venice over some parked gondolas facing east. The sky is brightening, but there’s no sun (yet).

Mushrooms: in or out?

I know it’s my goddam contest. What was the decision last time?

I haven’t even picked a single shot for this yet, so it probably won’t ultimately matter, but an answer would help me search.

Gracias!

I just posted mine, and realized that I didn’t have to choose whether or not to make them votable.

Probably needs to be turned on, and mine need to be votable, please.
