Sometimes it takes me days to get my ass on MSN/ICQ. And most of you don't have my email address. So, if you need to ask me something/flame me/pee on me and can't reach me, do it here.
All comments are screened; only the two of us can see your comment.
And don't forget to leave your email/IM (if I don't have it) or I won't be able to get back to you.

I don't know, this seemed like a good idea. It'll probably turn out not to be... haha.


ATTENTION, s'il vous plaît: Flames, declarations of love, and commentary regarding sex organs go in here. Friends requests one post down, tyvm.

This little beauty is my cousin's (third) cat. Maybe he'll be the one that stays~

More on flickr.

Second and final round of voting. Up to 2 votes per user. Comment with the ID of your favorite picture(s). Comments are screened, so don't use this post to start a conversation or ask me any questions, do that in the posts on bonertown/refuse/anas. And you can't vote twice for the same picture.

9 Pictures are in the runoff. 5 from the first batch and 4 from the second batch, because none of the others from that group could get a significant number of votes.

Same rules as in #1 apply. 5 votes per user.

( Second batch under here. )

There were 52 submissions, which I divided into two batches. There were some photos that imho had nothing to do with the theme, so I didn't allow them.

Election rules y'all: You simply vote by commenting with the numbers of the pictures that you like best. Don't link to the picture, just use the ID that's on top of it. All comments are screened. Everyone has five votes per batch (total of 10 votes). The top 12 will make it into the runoff vote, but only one picture (the higher rated one) per contestant.

( First batch. )

Submissions for the Photo Contest #6 go in here please. Comments are screened, pictures will then be presented without names.

New theme:
CANDIDS

Pretty self-explanatory. No set up or carefully created imagery. No posing people, just snapshots.


Rules:

1. You have to be a member of ontd_anas, bonertown and/or ontd_refuse.

2. You can submit one or two pictures.

3. The photos have to be YOURS. Don't steal them. That one should be obvious.

4. For the sake of anonymity, don't tell anyone which images are yours. We don't wanna vote on the user but on the picture.

5. Do NOT use photos you have posted on LJ, either your personal journal or on ontd_anas or _refuse. Try not to use pictures that are already on your flickr. Remember you two whole weeks to get your ass away from the computer and take new pictures.

6. No self-portraits if your face is commonly known on LJ.

7. Don't over-edit your picture on the computer. Keep in mind that this is a photo, not a photoshop contest. Obviously shopped pictures will be disqualified.

WINNER GETS 2 MONTHS WORTH OF PAID ACCOUNT.

You have until two weeks from now. Submissions close on April 17th, 11pm GMT / 6pm ET.

( Second batch )

First poll, we're doing it the same as last time. Comment with your preferred pictures by simply using their "code". Don't describe the picture, don't repost it, just use the code cause it makes it easier for me to count the votes. You have up to 5 votes. All comments are screened, if you wanna discuss the photos you can do so on anas or garbage.

Submissions for the Photo Contest #4 go in here please. Comments are screened, pictures will then be presented without names.

New theme:
Music




Try to visualize music. It doesn't matter how you do it, be creative. The more diverse the submissions are, the more interesting the contest will be.


Rules:

1. You gotta be a member of ontd_anas and/or ontd_refuse.

2. You can submit one or two pictures.

3. The photos have to be YOURS. Don't steal them. That one should be obvious.

4. For the sake of anonymity, don't tell anyone which images are yours. We don't wanna vote on the user but on the picture.

5. Do NOT use photos you have posted on LJ, either your personal journal or on ontd_anas or _garbage. Try not to use pictures that are already on your flickr. Remember you have a whole week to get your ass away from the computer and take new pictures.

6. No self-portraits if the people of anas or garbage know what you look like.

7. Don't over-edit them on the computer. Keep in mind that this is a photo, not a photoshop contest. If I feel that your picture is too obviously photoshopped, I will show it to a panel of people who actually know things about photography and they will decide on it. We might ask you to send in the original photo so we can check the exif data. So it's best to just stay away from it.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

You have until one week from now. Submissions close on August 18, 11pm GMT / 6pm ET.

If you can, please keep the pictures at a reasonable size. I will probably resize them to something like 600x400 if you haven't already.

Okay so these are the top 5 pictures from the first batch and the top 6 from the second. Results were closer in the second batch so there are more photos from that one. Rules are the same as last time, but you only have up to 2 votes. Comment with the picture ID(s) of your choice. Comments are screened.

Please keep in mind that you're voting for the best photo, not the best architecture.

Thanks to everyone who submitted pictures!

And I'm sorry for the friendslist spam.

Since LJ is fucking up, comment with your preferred picture IDs (up to 5) in this post. All comments are screened.

Please don't link to the picture, don't describe it, just enter the ID. That way I can count the votes by just Apple + F'ing the whole thing.

Remember you're voting for the picture, not the architecture.

This week's theme:



PORTRAITS AND PEOPLE

Meaning you can submit portraits, casual shots of casual people doing casual things, pictures of people in the apartment building on the other side of the street or whatever else your creepy ass can come up with. As long as human beings are the main subject of your photo.



Rules:

1. You gotta be a member of ontd_anas or ontd_refuse or both.

If I feel that your picture is too obviously photoshopped, I will show it to a panel of people who actually know things about photography and they will decide on it.
