Well, I'll go along with any decision that is made.
But, I kinda thought the whole purpose of a photography forum was so that people could post non-NB related pictures? Post up ideas, images they've taken, etc. Just to share.
"Hey, here are some pics I took that I liked and thought you might like too."
I understand Gail's dilemma. But there's really nothing stopping her from posting those images in different threads.
Several people have created threads to show their work. That's why this whole forum was added.
The "assignment" thread was to be, just that. An assignment.
I too took a couple photography classes in college. I've spent much time in the dark room. I agree that it's a great way to learn. I LOVED the assignments we were given in class. Kinda like Justin said. It gets you to open your eyes and start seeing things you never saw before.
When these assignments come out, I spend quite a bit of time trying to think of what would make a good picture. I'll walk around, keeping an open mind, trying to see things I hadn't seen before. I kinda think that's what this assignment is all about.
Not going through hundreds of old photos I've taken to see what might "accidentally" fit into this category.
This is an open forum for all things photo-related. People can post all they want. I just think the assignment thread is a bit different, and should be treated, as the title refers, as an assignment.
