[Andy]

dgrin challenge 42 is here. it will run from monday, june 27th at 12:00:01 a.m. nyc time, through monday, july 11th at noon nyc time. the guest judge for the challenge will be the winner of challenge 41, as determined by the voters.

remember, in order for everyone to benefit, you should be commenting and critiquing for others as much as you expect to get for yourself. you've got to give to get!

the challenge 42 theme is "no theme." let your imagination run wild, and shoot your favorite portrait, street shot, night shot, infrared, landscape, sporting event, wildlife, studio shot, black and white, color, photoshopped, tripodded, handheld shot...........anything goes!

this thread, is the one into which you post your challenge entry, and remember, one entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during the challenge period. you must post the date the photograph was taken or it will be deemed ineligible.

all of the rules of the dgrin photo challenges apply, please read them! (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=6941).

***challenge 42 will close to entries on monday, july 11th 2005 at 12 noon nyc time***

enjoy (challenge) photography,

[Andy]

i was asked "what's seinfeld got to do with this challenge?"

simple: seinfeld was "the show about nothing" so this sort of fits, the theme of no theme.....

My apologies for not contributing more in the way of replys before throwing in one of my pix. I'm an old dog trying to re-learn everything with this Digital Stuff, so I've been browsing and learning from all the FANTASTIC photographers that hang out here.

Photo taken with Olympus E1 digital July 8 of model Tia Rose. It was 100 degrees and the stress of the heat shown on her face.

After I saw this shot in print I thought it looked like an angel fallen to earth feeling the pain of the unclean, harshness of the world in which she now resides.

It's amazing what can happen when you are waiting for a smoothie. I really liked the hanging lights in my local Juice Shack, so I sat my camera on its back, and took about twelve shots before I got one that was sized, and positioned the way I wanted.

This was shot Saturday July 9. I was asked to do the wedding photos for a young Mongolian couple. It is completely untouched.....simply because I am still not that familiar with the software and so if anyone has suggestions as to how to improve on it pleeease feel free to critique!
