We usually take Saturday off, because it seems like most of you do (it's our lightest traffic day). This Saturday, all day, however, TOP will be holding its own little impromptu in-house contest for our readers...Saturday just in case people who work during the week might want to get out and shoot for it. Fun stuff. And there are even prizes! Wahoo.
Please don't spread the word. This is sort of just aimed unofficially at regular readers, and we actually don't want it to go viral. It will run all day, from the announcement at 10:00 p.m. tomorrow night (Friday) to 10:00 p.m. Saturday, Central U.S. Time (Chicago time zone), and I'll announce the prizes when the entries close. ;-)
Mike

Jim: "So! I go out and rent a skid-loader for the weekend, and then commit to spending the weekend clearing land for my church in the 105°F Texas heat! And then you announce a photo contest with a prize that I'm sure will be something I have always wanted! And probably desparately needed to finally allow me to be a great photographer!"
Mike replies: You're actually going to be in surprisingly good shape here, as you shall see. Tune in tomorrow night.
With that turn around, its going to need digital rather than analogue output, and this on the day my partner and I have our first date in 2 years. I guess we'd better take our cameras.

Well, it's not Henri Cartier-Bresson's birthday until August 22 so it can't be "street photography day" (yet).

If the questions for the contest are about cutting a shoe insert to accommodate a plantar fascia on the left foot, I'm gonna win some cool swag!!

Oh please don't let it be a contest that involves taking photos. That would be just preposterous on this photography blog.

Saturday in the US seems to occur about 2 days later than here, (is it the metric system?) but do I load the 6x9 or not?

Once again: it would be terribly nice if you could add an indication in UTC to your time infos. We Europeans are totally lost on if you're currently on central eastern winter daylight wasting time or whatever. Thanks a lot.
