Damn, I was expecting a bigger turnout. What gives?
Yeah, I kind of thought that with the theme being not too challenging this time round more people might give it a go, but with my own life frequently spinning out of control time-wise these days I am absolutely not going to judge anyone else on whether they were able to contribute or not. I suspect a lot of people here wanted to join in, or at least thought about it and then either forgot or ran out of time, or both. Anything over 10 is fine by me because I think that number gives the viewer enough to look at and think about. If you look back over the previous 16 collaborations the numbers go from 8 to 22 and tend to average out at around 15, so we're there or thereabouts.
The other thing I've just thought about is that in the discussion thread on the forum that led up to us going with SP's as a theme I suggested that we go for new work this time round (something we don't usually put in the guidelines) and I'm sure that reduced the numbers by a few. The "Colour/Color" collab got the most entries, but you can see why. Most people would be able to trawl through their portfolios and dig out something from the past that they felt merited inclusion, re-size it and mail it in. Not so this time.
As I understand it, both Skorj & Leon have actually taken photos for the collaboration, but neither has yet had time to get them out of the camera. They may backfill in the next few days...or not. Busy, busy, busy.
I think there are some really wonderful SP's on show here though so am keen to dwell on them rather than be concerned that we're a few contributions lighter than I hoped we might be.
