To accomodate the holiday schedule and my work/travel schedule, I've
pushed the due dates for the next two mandates back a bit. The new due
dates are:

Furniture: June 2nd, 2013

Grilling/Outdoor Cooking: July 14th, 2013

More info:

The galleries:

http://www.pbase.com/shootin/furniture

http://www.pbase.com/shootin/bbq_outdoor_cooking

For you noobs, the Shoot-In is a monthly exercise that was concieved a
long time ago, in a galaxy far,far away, but has survivied nearly 10
years since the first mandate. This isn't a contest; we shoot for
entertainment. For more info, please see the rulz page here:

http://upload.pbase.com/shootin/rulzpage

And don't forget the mandate following Furniture, which has already
been announced:

Lastly, how about some ideas for the 10th anniversary edition of the
Shoot-In? It will occur in August of this year, so get those synapses
firing and post some suggestions!

Why not celebrate by having a variation of the first SI event:

Pinhole.

You turn a map[1] of your region upside down and lay it on the
floor.

You close your eyes and drop three pins on the map. Where they
fall on the map, you punch a hole to the other side. If it
falls on a river or lake and too far from shore you can re-drop.

Where each pin comes through you go to that location and make
an interesting photo with what you find there. Must be within
300 metres of the pin location (to avoid certain compositions
such as: http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/21112536 ;-)

Kudos for GPS tagging.



[1] I suggest a map of at least 25 x 25 km and up to 100 x 100 km.

Have we not already done "Pinhole Project II"?

Appears I missed it. But it has been a few years.

How about something challenging, like Nikon's "Small World" contest?

We could photograph people or things that are ten years old. (As it happens, I
have a grandson who's ten, but obviously that doesn't figure in this
suggestion.)

Or we could throw it open and require each person to provide his own
idiosyncratic take on "ten".

So you think that fenced private land and dangerous locations are
exclusive to "rust-belt U.S. cities"?

Didn't stop anyone the first and second times a Pin Drop was done.

Really - there is no imperative to go somewhere inaccessible or
dangerous. Just re-drop the pin or do best effort near the inaccessible
area. Common sense is always permitted. Really.

Broken down factories and urban decay make for some of the best
photographic opportunities.

Orlando is not a rust-belt city. I wonder how happy RichA would be to
be dropped off in some of the areas of this city when the pin might
stab.

You can find urban decay in any dental office in Orlando.

Comically, in light of Rich's characterization, the Boston metropolitan area
has very little urban decay left. It does have areas where a sensible person
wouldn't walk around displaying expensive photographic equipment.
