[SI]: New Mandate: Wide Open
Yes, your benevelont SI dictator has already selected a new mandate from a
list presented to the Shoot-In Advisory Team Committee Group Board. The new mandate is "Wide Open." You can interpret this any way you'd like, from a literal translation to the assumption that anything goes. We all need a break after sweating through the last one, Communication. I can still see the sweat beading on your foreheads. Fire at will. Besides, anyone who complains has to take over the job of Benevelont Shoot-In Dictator. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/wide_open |

The challenge, as I see it, is to find a scene that matches the mandate rather than to find an old image that matches. Those are nice pictures, though, except for Krystal-garbed guy. That's disgusting, but in focus. Why does that one guy's hand look like a lobster claw? Reflection or did he pull a hot dog out of the boiling water? -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

Dude, that's the great Kobayashi ..... the Babe Ruth of eating. Only man ever to win the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Championship 6 years in a row, and a nice guy to boot. Nice six-pack, too. http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/103790292 Why does that one guy's hand look like a lobster claw? *Reflection or did he pull a hot dog out of the boiling water? That's Patrick "Deep Dish" Bertoletti. He dips the buns in fruit punch to make them go down easier. That's why his hands are red. Among his accomplishments are eating 42 Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches in 10 minutes and 29 Waffle House waffles in 10 minutes. Amazing that I didn't recognize these celebrities. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

I try to think of the mandate but usually end up just looking at what I shot for that month to find the best match.

Recent pix are one thing, but going back in the really old files seems to me to be a lazy approach. It becomes "My favorite old shot". I do like shooting to mandate. It pushes me to look at things that I might not have looked at as subject matter before. That doesn't mean that I don't photograph off-mandate when I'm out, though. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

You need to get out more and get a little culture, Tony. These competitive eaters are pretty cool. If I want to watch competitive eaters, I'll get two dogs and one bowl. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
