We're not in second grade, and don't all need to win a vote so that we can have good self-esteem (especially when it's a forced win), but at the same time, we do seem to see a winning rotation through several of the same people.<br /><br />I like the idea of best overall + one random category, and I do think it would be fun to do some quirkier categories, like Kritta suggested. I had a couple ideas for weird ones too:<br /><br />~Best use of a household item<br />~Best sacrifice of self (like the photos we've had where people braved the snow and the mud, or the boy falling in the pond)<br />~Funniest background story (like my husband thinking I wanted to take a picture of him "changing attire")<br />~Most emotional (okay, not weird, but I think this could be a good category)Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851454323588239492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101614991278288313.post-22056980492882527072009-05-16T16:45:00.000-07:002009-05-16T16:45:00.000-07:00AMEN MINDY....I ABSOLUTELY agree.

I just get feeling bad when I hear people feel so sad about not winning...and I just haven't known how to really FIX it...but I guess it's just not something that can be fixed...<br /><br />So what did you guys think of the voting this time? Do you think just voting for best overall works?Rachel Hollowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02906959500907191201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101614991278288313.post-14622081787793900872009-05-16T13:27:00.000-07:002009-05-16T13:27:00.000-07:00This might be "easy for me to say" since I have wo...This might be "easy for me to say" since I have won a few challenges, but I just don't see the point in desperately trying to make it so everyone gets a chance at winning. It wouldn't make me feel better to win knowing that people voted for me because I had the most purple in my photo, or because my name ended in "y" or because they plain old felt sorry for me. To me, this blog isn't about posting a picture so I can win... it's about improving my photography. If anyone else feels that they are improving, they have won... it doesn't matter what the votes say. The voting is just for kicks anyway. If someone really really cares about winning, they could work harder on getting the best photo, even if it takes a long time before that happens... isn't that a much more satisfying win than one that was rigged so they wouldn't feel bad? Are we not all grown-ups here?? :)Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06567142546664665869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101614991278288313.post-55299250006577570312009-05-16T11:30:00.000-07:002009-05-16T11:30:00.000-07:00Don't worry so much!
