The Magic Roll

[lZr]

Read the book 'Pay It Forward' (or see the movie).

The book is better than the movie.

Jon, please, what is the bottom line of the book?

Trust people and they will honor that trust.

Good point.

1 I have read this thread very carefully. I cannot see where it says that the photo must be taken during days 1-25 of the month: just exhibited in that time frame. Is that correct?

2 Anonymous is a good idea. But in this small community with relatively few active photo posting people how anonymous will it be? I can spot a Pitxu, nico, swann, jan normandale, memphis, petronius, back alley, TatianaShe, OurManInTangier, kathytoth.ca and so on with my eyes closed. So their photos would never be 'anonymous'.

3 When photos are sent to the new gmail submission address will they be uploaded to the competition thread as they arrive or will they be uploaded all together on day 25? Without a trickle of entries (or a torrent) day by day it may be difficult to keep this competiton in people's minds.

Good book, easy read, get it from the library today if it's open.

Author: Catherine Ryan Hyde. Look in the R's and the H's perhaps?

That would require a whole philosophical discussion 😉
I'm not sure about it, though it's my motto when it comes to friendly relationships :angel:

Marc, don't be pessimistic. I think is is fair enough. The winner is no doubt responsible.

Then it's worth a shot. The winner send the Magic Roll to the next winner. That sounds great.
Before changing the rule, let's see what other members think of it.

We'll see if you do 😉 But this contest is open to everybody, and I hope not only our friends participate in it.

... as they arrive.

Thank you for clarifying that we can submit photos from our stock rather than taking new photos. I thought that some people felt the pressure of time for the first Magic Roll and Poll which indicated they may be taking photos to order specially for this thread.

I would bet that I could see a Marc-A. photo with ease. (Unless he'd borrowed one from his friend Josef K. and I thought it was his own.)

Trickle is a really good decision, and along with some bumps will keep this thread interesting.

marc have you seen what cameraquest opened for this - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=7328
will we use this - or member gallery?

 

[The Magic Roll]

Happy New Year to all! 🙂

We have a clear winner for the first Magic Roll Contest (MRC)

Jan Normandale

Congratulations! Bravo Applause clap clap clap

Great picture of Holidays.

Jan, you'll get your prize very soon (I PM you in order to get your personal address). You are now responsible of the theme of the February MRC!

 

[ClaremontPhoto]

Well done jan normandale.

Your photo was clearly the best.

Hello Nzeeman,
I didn't see it earlier. When I click on the link I have: "You do not have permission to view this category".
How does it work? Do you have permission to view it?

srećna nova godina 🙂
(no I dont speak Serb, but I know that for I have Serb friends in Paris and I checked on internet the spell)

Marc-A.:


I'm sure it was there yesterday.

The Galleries were reorganized overnight (see the main left nav., and CameraQuest's post in the 'kettle' thread), perhaps this bit got broken in the changes?

I haven't checked the "kettle" threat for a long time. My fault. I'm gonna catch up on my reading.
Jon, feliz ano novo ;-)

Nouvelle année heureuse.

Ok I finally found it. After a quick thought, here's my opinion:
1. pictures are to be sent to the gmail address
2. then we load them in the January contest gallery (if people use the January contest gallery directly we won't be able to keep the submission anonymous)
3. finally we link them into the thread.

Sounds good?

 

[ClaremontPhoto]

Sounds good.

I'd like to say that I had some fun with this one and I appreciate Marc's initiative in getting the photography side of RFF a bit of a kick start with this regular salon he's set up.

I've sent Marc my suggestion for the next Magic Roll Salon. I believe he will be posting something on that shortly unless he has any thoughts prior to the notice going up. Thanks to everyone who submitted because the more who do the more notice photography will receive at this site.

Ladies and Gentlemen please load up your cameras and have them at the ready for the starters pistol! Good luck!

Jan

BTW best to everyone for '08!
