[OM] TOPE suggestion

Hi Tom,

For simplicity (& more pix) I'd like to suggest that you change your shooting dates to calendar months, with submissions for 3 weeks after, giving you a week to tidy things up before display on the 1st of the month. Would be a bit more work for you

By means of a poll on the list we democratically established a maximum of 6 events per year. We then decided that 2 out of these would be ADITL events, and 4 of them would be TOPE events.

That would mean that "only" 4 full calendar months would be chosen when following your suggestion, as doing 1 theme each month is too heavy a schedule for me (and probably for you guys too)...

Also, the dates were carefully picked so they could be intertwined well with the ADITL events taking place on the winter's and summer's solstices. I then decided to give each TOPE event roughly a 6 weeks shooting interval, so as many people as possible could participate because the shooting interval is not so tight...

Personally I think this idea works quite o.k., although there's also something to be said for your suggestion. For now, I'll leave the events as they are planned and will see how that will go. I will make a "mental note" of your suggestion, and after we've done some 3 or 4 TOPE events I will see if a change to the schedule is desired...

TOPE theme suggestions: - available darkness candid shots (OM is small & lite) of people - sports

Interesting, could work very well...

- mountain scenes

Yikes!!!!
That'll be a tough one for me over here in The Netherlands! ;)))))))

- water

That one will be easy though... ;)

- nudes

Oooh, I like that one!
But... Who's going to provide the models?
No, Gioconda will NOT be one of them! ;)))

& Thanks for TOPE!

You're welcome!
Thanks to you guys too for making it such a success!

Ah, on another TOPE note: as most of the people who replied to my question about the initial 2 weeks of anonimity indicated that they do indeed like such a period, this will indeed happen. So, just like for ADITL, the first 2 weeks are anonymous, and then the names will be disclosed (sorry Barry...).

Cheers!
Olafo
