Am I making sense?

truth truth : ) I totally get what you are saying. i do like the idea of getting feedback if others are inclined to offer it, and mostly I will be doing this as a way to open myself up to life and not be sucked in by the vice grip of winter SAD,

Once it's decided what is going to happen, I would be happy to start threads each month if it's the contest idea, or start a thread if we are going the project route. Just let me know and I'll be happy to help

any help you want to give would be excellent and appreciated. I work full time and most days cannot be on the computer for non-work related things. Today is a great exception, everyone is gone . And, at home, I have two kids in elementary school and the chaos of dinner and homework. I don't really know how to put it all into words for a post.

haha, i can get busy sometimes, but i can try to make time, but i may be a day or two late from time to time. but i can try.

just let me know what is decided, ( friendly ) contest or project.

[Izzie]

I don't think there's any reason to decide between a project and a contest. The contest can be the same as the project. Kind of how I tried to explain above.

Bob, I'll PM you, and we can figure out what we want to do. You and I can be the organizers this time around.
In the mean time, I think I'll make a thread asking for those "professionals" among us to offer their services when the time comes.

Sorry, you kind of lost me on this...........I thought it was going to be popular vote thing......are you having a "judging committee".......
I kinda feel like the Fonz "I'm soooo confused"

[Call_Me_Bob]

i thought that originally, but i think that Izzie wanted to ask some of the pros to help judge, so that we can get critiques and therefore learn how to improve our photography. as far as i know, we were still planning on having people vote for their favorite too.

hope that made sense
