[SI]: New Mandate: Wide Open
bowser
list presented to the Shoot-In Advisory Team Committee Group Board. The new
mandate is "Wide Open." You can interpret this any way you'd like, from a
literal translation to the assumption that anything goes. We all need a
break after sweating through the last one, Communication. I can still see
the sweat beading on your foreheads. Fire at will. Besides, anyone who
complains has to take over the job of Benevelont Shoot-In Dictator.

All excellent images, but I hope that people shoot *for* the mandate
rather than submitting "old". The challenge, as I see it, is to find
a scene that matches the mandate rather than to find an old image that
matches.
Those are nice pictures, though, except for Krystal-garbed guy.
That's disgusting, but in focus.
Why does that one guy's hand look like a lobster claw? Reflection or
did he pull a hot dog out of the boiling water?

Dude, that's the great Kobayashi ..... the Babe Ruth of eating.
Only man ever to win the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Championship 6 years
in a row, and a nice guy to boot. Nice six-pack, too.

That's Patrick "Deep Dish" Bertoletti. He dips the buns in fruit
punch to make them go down easier. That's why his hands are red.
Among his accomplishments are eating 42 Peanut Butter and Jelly
sandwiches in 10 minutes and 29 Waffle House waffles in 10 minutes.

Amazing that I didn't recognize these celebrities.

I try to think of the mandate but usually end up just looking at what I
shot for that month to find the best match. If I shoot enough to be able
to pull it off, I figure that's fair <g>.

Recent pix are one thing, but going back in the really old files seems
to me to be a lazy approach. It becomes "My favorite old shot".
I do like shooting to mandate. It pushes me to look at things that I
might not have looked at as subject matter before. That doesn't mean
that I don't photograph off-mandate when I'm out, though.

If I want to watch competitive eaters, I'll get two dogs and one bowl.

Is it me, or is "competitive eating" sub-human? I can't watch it. GD
disgusting.
Alan Browne
I agree.

At that speed, you're probably correct that taste has little to do
with it.
These guys are tremendous athletes. I'll probably never win the
Masters, but I'll come closer to winning the Masters than I will to
eating 100 hamburgers in 8 minutes.
Enjoy it while you can. Some day, one of the competitors will die
right on stage and all the pantywaists will be clamoring to ban the
sport immediately.
John McWilliams
Sport???
A competition, yes. "Training," Yes. A sport? Athletes? No, no, no.
I wonder if the ancient Romans competed inside the vomitorium, as long
as we're on this mouth watering subject.

I have one dog, but would need a second to have a competition.
Here's a photo of our dog on our back porch. It's slightly
out-of-focus, has poor depth-of-field, and shows the dog from the
angle that you seem to like for doggie pix, but I didn't want to
submit an image better than one of yours.

Nonsense. That's just a big milk box that makes the dog seem small.

She's a standard (full-bred but not pedigreed) cocker spaniel of
average size for the breed. A bit wide in the beam as aged females
get. I think she's about 40 pounds now. She's 16 years-old.
She needs a trim badly, but gets very snappish with the groomer
because her old bones ache so much she doesn't like to be handled.
We've never had her groomed with one of those fru-fru spaniel cuts.
