You will see when I am gone, can't you see that I am trying?

Well, this evening I was intending to put the entries for the photo competition online.

And indeed I have done, but not before a good deal of wailing and gnashing of teeth had been indulged in. Part of that was due to me burning my nice stuffed aubergines[*], but most of it was caused by the discovery that some of my own entries for the competition are... still in the camera. Not just undownloaded, but trapped - trapped, I tell you - on a tiny little roll of celluloid. Bother.

However.

People's photographs are now listed, and available for your expert perusal. Expert, of course, because you - yes you - are the judge.

I had been planning to group the photos onto a page for each category, but too many categories have too few entries[**]. So instead, you are invited to browse around people's collections and nominate:

- your top three photographs (judged on them just being jolly nice pictures)
- your top three interpretations (judged on the picture fitting the lyric it represents)

Nominations should be emailed to me (venta at livejournal dot com) as and when you feel like it. I'll warn before I call time on the judging.

Anyone else is welcome to vote on the pictures, regardless of whether they've been playing up til now or not. The more the merrier.

[*] As may have been evident to liriselei when he came to the door. He certainly looked pretty scared when I offered him one.
[**] I accept partial responsibility for this - many people have grumbled to me that the categories were too hard/too longwinded/too rubbish.[***]
[***] Why yes, since you ask, I do have another idea for a new competition, should anyone care, and it's much simpler.

Well without a big printout of the rules, I couldn't remember what the photos were meant to be of (so took a corresponding number of pics). Something thc also commented on, and said he'd have to do some rummaging to find the songs to get the vibe of first.

Your transport themed one was beautifully simple and easy to memorise the rules. I seem to remember the one prior to that was themed on colours, so again nice and simple and easier to remember.
