I’m late on blogging about this, but James asked me to mention this photography contest being run by the BC Book and Magazine Week and Ripe Magazine:
The deadline for entries is very soon – April 20, 2006. So if you want to enter you have to get cracking! The winner will be announced at the Magazine Cabaret: Vancouver, at the Alibi Room on Wednesday April 26, 2006.
It basically just needs to be a photo of BC. BC being a favourite subject of mine, I’ve got a bunch of options:
- I could go gritty urban
- Or speak to local industry
- Or something more summery
- Or a very small part of BC
- Or something just plain pastoral?
Unfortunately for me, I know, like, 23 people who are better photographers than me. So, I don’t like my odds.
It’s unclear as to whether you can only submit one. James, how many can we submit?

DB: I’ll pass your question on to someone I know at Ripe, but I don’t have an answer. Sooooo…
I’d submit as many as you like. If you’re not limited, go for it, within reason, fearing backlash. I would guess 15+ is probably too many.
Well More Summery and Plain Pastoral get my vote. More Summery just shades it for that great silhouette of the toddler running past in the foreground.
The others could be pictures of anytown, anywhere…
I say gritty urban. It’s more interesting, has substance.
