Photography competition Sept' 05 "Mischief"

[firky]

Mischief
Harm; damage; esp., disarrangement of order; trouble or vexation caused by human agency or by some living being, intentionally or not; often, calamity, mishap; trivial evil caused by thoughtlessness, or in sport.

Cause of trouble or vexation; trouble.

I got the idea because I initialy thought of 'broken' as a theme, which seemed to macabre, so I reconsidered and thought about 'meddle', but that is too particular, so in the end I thought of 'mischief', as this is more playful and 'happier'.

hard in that it's hard to decide where to go - so many possibilities ...

[firky]

[Onket]

my first entry

I really like the angle and perspective on this one - but get her to pull a different expression she looks sad

Nice high contrast black and white photoshopping would be cool as well.

she'd just been told off by her mum, there's actually a tear in her eye, mischief indeed

I try and keep my entries for the competion as camera, little sharpening and saturation in the raw conversion only as a normal jpeg from the camera would have

The little girl of our host family in Cuba managed to jam a spanner under the gear stick, leaving with us forward gears only.

hi and welcome - problem viewing your image - it says "The File You Are Looking For Is Inaccessible" - I guess there is some setting on yahoo photos to make them public - you need to check that

[firky]

I can see them dude, but I can't see how they fit in with the theme

[Paul Russell]

Here's one:

[hiccup]

Arse. Had an idea for a photo, but just realised the recycling people took the subject away this morning.

[snadge]

heres my second pic, pushing the theme a bit

datura flower

my datura plant has sprouted a flower, and you know what sort of mischief these plants can do if you are that way inclined

[alef]

Got two entries, taken when I used to live on the Marquess estate in Islington:

Fuck your mum and dad
Gutter porn

I'd never actually noticed the slice of tomato next to the porn until Paul Russell pointed it out, thx Paul! Still makes me LOL.

1st entry:

"Mischief" By The Pool.

[Skim]

Here's my mischief photo, taken at a squat party in east London last year.

Dealers kill

I think squat parties can easily be classed under 'disarrangement of order' and graffiti was the first thing that came to mind when thinking about mischief.

Note "so does lettuce" reply under "dealers kill" and the poignant illustration of the world's inequality in the top right hand of the shot. It was also nice of someone to tell us "I'm buzzin" and that "Pippa is buff".
