Round-the-Clock challenge: It’s a Piece of Cake!

Round-the-Clock Challenge: In with the Crowd
2008-07-28 to 2008-07-29
While rockstars and pop acts and punk bands are great subjects to photograph, personally we think that crowds are more interesting subjects. A sea of faces – sweating, jumping, singing along, holding up their lighters – simply fantastic.

Stolen Portraits
2008-05-05 to 2008-06-12
A portrait can strip a subject down to the core.Take us back to basics.A camera can steal a moment then revive it with every viewing of the image. Portrait making is the art of peeling back the layers and capturing something rare. Find something worth stealing.
The Medium Behind
2008-03-27 to 2008-05-01
A memorable picture is so much more than just the image! This mission is about the Medium or the material. Think how rough, chunky grain, light leaks or the alchemy of aged film can create the whole atmosphere of a shot. Film perforations, catching the end of the film in the image, scratches, masks, filters – make a picture something beyond the image itself.
Ghost-photographer
2008-02-21 to 2008-03-27
It’s good to share! This mission is a joint effort – your camera - someone else taking the shot. Could be a friend experimenting on your cam; a sneaky shot taken when you are not looking; the best from a roll of Doubles. Remember to share the credit because your Ghost-photographer also gets a prize!
Veni Vidi Vici
2008-01-17 to 2008-02-21
I came, I saw, I conquered-to translate from Latin. A homage to the bold and the brave. The hero of the hour. The triumph over adversity. The eye of the tiger…erm. It’s that winning moment of personal glory (however small) immortalised on film!
Out of the Picture
2007-12-13 to 2008-01-17
This mission is devoted to misfits. Things that don’t fit the scene. It wasn’t meant to be there but here it is loud, proud and stealing the show! Momentary mishaps, random shot gatecrashers or unseen aspects that now create a completely unintended vibe.
Post Intoxication Paranoia
2007-11-01 to 2007-12-08
“What the hell have I done?” It’s that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach in the morning. Intoxication has many forms. Maybe your self doubt came after a love-rush, an ego-trip or simply 14 beers? Whichever way it’s ugly!
HUNGRY LIKE FIRE
2007-09-28 to 2007-11-01
What started the fire? Just a spark and now it wants only to burn. Unstoppable and insatiable - consuming itself & everything else. Mass to kinetic. Inspiring or obsessive? It’s up to you...Who holds the matches?
Wish You Were Here - Mission
2007-08-23 to 2007-09-27
A line written on many a postcard, but interpretation is the key. A desire, a temptation, a burning question, or a bit of irony? Maybe you like to tease and are a little tongue-in-cheek? Or full of longing and sincerity-with a shot to make us weep?
“WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?” AN INTERNATIONAL PHOTO COM
2007-08-06 to 2007-08-31
Show us. (And everybody else, while you’re at it). Over the next four weeks we want to see your life in pictures. Pick up your camera and get down to business. Stop thinking and start shooting — out on the streets, up the block, in your room. We want to see you at your best, but more importantly at your most creative, your most ironic, your smartest, your most original, and most surprising. “Be yourself.” But who the hell is that?

This time we will appeal to your bold self-admiration - show us how borderless narcissistic you can be, your style, your vanity, your golden side....
