[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 296326, member: 9240"] Just wanted to bring this back to the top of the stack and thank Joe for bringing this to my attention. While I didn't participate in the assignment during the first month (it wasn't on my radar, though it seems I had some shots that would have fit just nicely), I am participating this time around, and will likely do so moving forward. Zack is one of those guys that can be a bit polarizing, and many love him or hate him. I happen to be in the camp that manages to appreciate him for most of what he has to say, and can ignore the rest. What I like is that he seems to be taking the time to go through and talk about the images submitted, and provide in many cases some constructive feedback (and in other cases, not so much). Assignment 2 is set to finish at the end of the week, so you have time to get in. Even if you don't want to participate actively, I found that in watching the assignment and critique videos for Assignment 1, I was able to see a lot in others' photos that mirrors what I might have done, and in that, gained some insight into how I may not have been pursuing a photo as intently as I possibly should have. Anyway, if DEDPXL isn't on your radar, but you like the idea of purposed shooting, this can give you a nice companion or alternative to the monthly assignments here. [/QUOTE]
