I thought I'd get loads of shots when I was in New York, but just ended up with a few boring regulation pics of Times Square and lots of pics of me and my mates being drunk. I'm planning a trip into town on Wednesday, will hopefully get some good shots then.

So this shopping centre didn't have CCTV cameras then?

PS. Be careful!

It did - it was all quite civilised. They got to me within 50m of the entrance. I explained the security guards were quite chatty and interested and that's what led to them taking me to see the centre manager. She was highly suspicious and point blank refused to let me do anything even though I said it was all for private use, non-commercial and I wouldn't be intrusive. It just caught me off guard so the rest of the afternoon was done with stealth.

Time to stick the neck out then. I've really enjoyed doing this.

day out in maidenhead
That looks really good! I like the angle of consumer culture being a destructive phenomenon.

Cheers mate - I'm interested to see how everyone else has interpreted it. The only thing I could see when walking around was a load of people being miserable.....

Sounds like quite a good description of cunsumer culture to me :(

Think people agreed on 1month from start date, which makes it 15th Dec.

Bugger - that would have give me a bit more time to hone it all. Never mind, I'll leave it as it is.

well you have ten more days :)

think I'll just leave it as it is. if I start changing a couple then I'll probably feel like changing them all. probably won't have time now to do anything concerted to it now until 15th anyway.
 
I have some photographs here:-

http://www.flickr.com/photos/hocus_eye/70619326/in/set-1522535/

Here are fourteen photos in a set. This is a work in progress* but I wanted to show something at this stage.

Edited 6th Dec. *Last update 11:51, I have used up my upload allowance so that's yer lot folks.

EDited 8th Dec. Dammit some of the first few photos now show only as a tiny thumbnail. I have deleted two pictures with a view to re-loading but the upload limit remains. Now there are only 12 pictures in the set.

are me and hocus the only people entering this one? seems awfully quiet after such a rapturous start......only 3 days left (i think - he who got the wrong date in the first place)
 
I would have liked to have entered this, but I've only just seen the thread. Look forward to seeing the entries...
 
I would have entered, but its just not my theme. Dont take many urban photos. I have a few I took which i may organise into some sort of gallery but its not good enough or enough photos to constitute an entry. But I do want to support this new idea as there will be some themes that I can enter.

forget the deadline, i think deadlines are too formal and restricting, and they create too much pressure

which way are we going with this? i'm not too bothered either way really but I've got to say that the deadline stuff works for me as it forces me to put some concentrated effort into it - otherwise it would just meander.

that's fair enough - it's just that i think it would be good to see as many people entering as possible...

me too - i was interested in seeing how we'd all interpret it differently, hence the ambiguity about deadlines......

I lied, I just managed to get 7 images together with some text in a sort of photo essay about consumerism.

Consumerism

Its a completly different interpretation.
