[SI] Still time to generate some interest

If your trying to encourage folks to get out and photography, then why does
the gallery show an image taken January 4th, 2006?

It's just a placeholder for the empty gallery in waiting.
I've got a couple shots from my recent road trip to submit...

The placeholder is always removed when the entries are put up.

I've submitted two, so far, but have had no acknowledgement. Have you
received them?

I have. I just don't use the auto-responder in the mail client. I guess I'll
set it up...

Thanks - but I wasn't panicking.

Am I missing something? That *is* the correct spelling. Apply your spell
checker if you don't believe me. Because a "c" before "i" is normally
pronounced "s", the "k" is inserted to contradict the rule. Many other words
("picnicking" comes to mind) follow that convention.

Don't sell yourself short; it's unbecoming a photographer. A certain ego level
is necessary to counteract the diffidence and suspicion of the yokelry.)

Please excuse Eric. He's one of those many resident usenet-trolls that has
nothing better to do. Indeed, "panicking" is the correct spelling, always
has been, most everyone knows this. Eric looks for any reason he can to try
to get attention for himself. He's that lonely and desperate. This is his
only contact with any form of humanity and jumps at any chance he can find,
even it it's caused by some delusional psychotic episode of his, such as
this.

We will forward this thread to his latest psychiatrist to see if a meds
adjustment is in order. For *his* safety, I assure you.

Wow, the nagging is starting early this month! I'm still deciding which three
pictures to submit. And I took one of them only two days ago.

Some may be confused by the fact that the deadline date falls on a Saturday,
rather than the more usual Sunday. But I'm not complaining; the Shoot-In's
amateur critics (of which I'm one) may be glad to have an extra day to write
our critiques before the work week begins.

I've been married nearly 29 years. Osmosis, maybe?

Thanks for the reminder. After struggling to interpret the mandate for
weeks I finally had inspiration today and grabbed one of my favourite models
for a shoot. Entry is on its way.

I had it easy. Took a day and went into Boston for a few shots. I think most
cities have a few interesting things...

Anyway, I'm hoping I can do better than my first proposed shot, "the big dog
show," which is just a bunch of big metal statues of dogs scattered around a
public park.

Somehow I would rather find them in a park, than a single statue in my
front yard? Anyway, the guys wife has a photo studio right next to the
lake on 125.

Geez, how close are you to me? I shot the statues in the Bradford park
across from that white church.
