Hi guys,
As you'll surely have noticed, my recent-father-activities have got me WAY
behind on all my hobbies and other spare time activities, and the TOPE
events have been no exception...
But... it seems matters are gradually finding their way into a somewhat more
predictable spare-time-schedule, and I'll do my best to fit the various
hobbies somehow in there too. :P
So, as far as TOPE is concerned I'll also do my best to better my life, and
be more compliant with the timelines again.
As a start: TOPE 31 should long since have been closed, but there are still
a few entries that have been sent to me quite a while ago, and that aren't
yet online. I'll try to add all of those this weekend, and then lift the
anonymity period, and consider TOPE 31 closed in one go.
Also... TOPE 32 should already have opened around September 10th, but I
totally failed to announce that, so by means of this message, I inform you
all that the TOPE 32 shooting season has been opened as of around that date
(in case you had already shot some good pictures), and that it will be open
for an extended period, let' say until around mid-November (to compensate
for the already past +/- 3 weeks).
Note: TOPE 32 is definitely the Walt Wayman tribute one, and the abstract
for the theme is:
"Sadly one of the OM-list's biggest characters and finest photographers
passed away on July 15th, 2007. Those of us who knew Walt knew him well for
his excellent pictures, and for his tongue-in-cheek (often in-your-face)
comments on the OM-list. Those of you who do not know him, can see his work
in no less than 20 of the first 25 TOPE events, making Walt one of the most
consistent contributors, until life overtook him. In order to honour Walt's
memory well, for this theme you can either take pictures of something that
reminds you of Walt (do I hear the "SUV" word? ;) ), and/or simply take
brilliantly executed shots (of a subject of your own choice), with high
levels of detail and spot-on compositions. This is one for Walt guys, let's
make this a theme Walt would be proud of!"
Sooooo, grab your cameras, the TOPE webmaster is back in business, so it's
time to get some nice pictures and make the Walt Wayman tribute yet another
fine event! :)
Cheers!
Olafo
