Assignments

[brad]

There seems to have been a serious lack of participation on the assignment threads.. is it because they are too frequent or is it a plain lack of interest?

I know that I haven't been submitting because of a lack of time on my part..

I keep wanting to get involved but I keep putting it off for no good reason but laziness

I don't have luck of interest, however I do have luck of time, but definately would like to get involved sometimes

Brad,

It's a fun thread.

Maybe, it's just me, but I have spent a lot of time reading and posting to this forum over the last few months, and it's my impression that the last two months (since mid June or so) have been slower -- with a lower participation and volume of posts overall -- than say, the three months before that.

It's just my impression; I have no statistics for support, and I certainly do not want to start any new controversy whatsoever about posting frequency and individual participation.

My point simply is that the "Assignment" Thread might be just a part of the ebb and flow of the overall Forum's cycles. The heat; vacations; harder work schedules; etc.

Just a thought -- hopefully encouraging to you, as this is my intention.

I have heard many people complain that you should not use stock photography. I think that hasd people not participating in some cases. If you took a great picture a few months ago and the assignment is perfect for it then it should be shown.

I have heard lots of cool assignments people have offered, but have never been used. I hope they get used because they would be fun and if the people want them......

I haven't participated but one time I think but I sure make it a point to check it out. I enjoy seeing the creativity people come up with for the subject. I'm not sure my artistic side has kicked in yet but it's a good idea and I'd like to see it continue. Really, staying out of the heat and my workload have been taking up my time lately. I'm sure glad to see what does get posted though.

Keep it up!
