I'm excited about all of this enthusiasm. :) One problem though with compliling a top ten list such as Charlie has undertaken, is that the SPORRS site images are changing faster than you can put a list out, and the shots that you voted for may no longer be on the site after they cycle off. The images just changed again this morning when I updated them, and hopefully I will have time to add even more again tomorrow. Please note that while I don't mind what SPORRS members compile what lists of what shots, not putting this stuff on this list seems to defeat part of this list's purpose. We do have a monthly SOTM vote which lists the most popular shots by vote, so before we run off with our own private contests, no matter how great of an idea that they sound like, we may want to consider using some of that energy and time for participating in what we already have, or for writing or contributing something for the site pages that are still empty. Last month's "Top 20" list (according to the 32 SPORRS members that voted) is at: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs/sotmframes.htm This page is updated every month, or at least it will be as long as there is enough votes coming in at the end of each month to warrant it. February's SOTM results are still on the site too. Jim was saying: > Here's a challenge for all of you. Next time you're out trackside, look > for some photos of subjects other than just the usual.

Yes, since I am 'the SPORRS site', please send me all these images as crisp, clear properly scanned digital files of the exact file sizes and dpi, all ready to upload, and with all of the correct caption information already included and spelled correctly, ready to cut and paste! I'll be expecting 'both' of these images at the end of May. :) Regards, Your SPORRS List Owner & Administrator, Editor and Webmaster, Dave Cohen -> SPORRS: 'Serious Photographers Of Railroad Related Subjects' -> Web Site: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs/ -> Message © 1998 SPORRS® - All Rights Reserved
