Mildly curious. What happens, no matter how remote the possibility might be, if
more than 120 folks submit images?
How much more would the book cost?

120 pages probably means more like 100 photogs... they count the T of C,
the PDML quotes, intro, etc... I imagine.

I agree with Frank and Bill and the proposed policy.
I've "been
there, done that" in a minor way - i.e. edited a
couple of Blurb
books. There were several times in my Venice book where I
had to make
choices resulting in leaving out a "better"
photo in favor of one
which was more appropriate for the slot on the book page.
I'll send
Mark et al two or three images and leave it to them to
figure which
one helps build a stronger book. Going through this
year's version, I
have to agree with the editors that there was no place to
neatly fit
in my second image.

=============
I am glad we seem beyond the point of arguing about it.
I often don't agree with others' assessments of
what is a better or worse
photo or what would work here or there or not. Reacting to
art work,
photography, etc. can be a very subjective thing. In the
real world, I sometimes write,
and I don't enter writing contests. I don't enter
photography contests. I
don't like contests, period. When I am creative I am
not competitive, when I am
competitive I feel much, much less creative. If I
concentrate on one c or
the other, the other c suffers -- to me they are
conflicting emotions. So I
limit my competitiveness to card and other games. I can be
very competitive.
What I like about PDML is it's democratic with no
moderation. What I like
about the PUG is the same thing, it's democratic with
no moderation (or not
much). What I don't like about the Pentax Gallery is
that other people, who I
might easily not agree with, get to subjectively choose
what goes in and what
does not.
If most people are happy with the proposed setup, then I
will accept and
work with it. Or not. I don't have to submit a photo
at all. I can just continue
to enjoy the PDML without worrying about the annual and
the things around
it.
However, I am glad it will be one photographer, one photo,
because I feel
that is the fairest. If I do submit, I will submit one
photo, because I would
want to KNOW what one is going to represent my work -- and
not leave that
decision to others.
I still have the Pentax Optio A40, so I might. You have
been warned. ;-)
