[finknoos]

quick question, does it all have to be new or can we use stuff weve allready shot if it fits the theme?

[Matze]

no problem with that, I guess.

damn, the hardest part will be about policemen and interesting people ... I hate talking to people to shoot a picture of them, haha.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

same here. maybe gotta get drunk to do that.

[finknoos]

i might have to skip the police one, dont have the best history with them

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

Figure it out and grow some balls. I figure the "interesting people" one should be fun. So many potential cover stories for taking it

[Grubby Mits]

I'm down to represent the London area. Also, i can make a banner if it's needed

[saucy ragu]

I have some abandoned building shit that I got recently, but it's from south of Boston, not Brooklyn. Should I emphasize that if I send it in and make sure I get 3 from that area for that topic?

[Mooley]

allright, I think we have our list ... 6 topics are left, which is one more then we decided to have in the first run. I guess six is allright too.

thanks to the gipper for the final move!

Here is the list:

3 "interesting" people (goths, scene, hipsters)
3 tourist pics
3 policemen
3 skatespots
3 rad transportation(bikes/cars/whatever)
3 old/high/famous/regular/abandoned/grey/boring houses

Deadline is: Monday 16th.

send your pictures to: slappalproject (at) googlemail.com

@faceneck: I guess your hand written logo is a little bit too .... easy? haha. somebody else, something else

Just to clarify, are we choosing one of these 6 topics to shoot? Or are we shooting all of them?

[Cadillac Ranch Dressing]

Getting 9 rolls back tomorrow so hopefully I'll have something to submit.

all of them! If you manage to shoot only four of six , it's allright too. would be cool to have enough submissions for at least 2 months, just to have a proper start.

@grubby mits: it would be awesome if you could create a nice looking banner.

[HATE!]

I'm gonna have to bust my ass for the 16th since I am moving to KC on Friday.

Cannot believe we didn't think of this- 3 badass local businesses- anything- record store, skate shop, grocery store etc.

[Matze]

shot 2 skatespots today and thought it's the easiest thing to walk right into a police station and ask about pictures .. they told me, that I need to get in contact with their officials first. damn, this could be a hard piece of work

You can film/photograph pretty much everybody in public. I'm hoping to get action shots, in which case they will probably be too busy to tell me to stop.

[Matze]

could we stick this topic until the deadline?

[friendly dave]

Just emailed in all my photos. Gettin hyped. Whoever is checking the email want to double check and make sure it worked.

[finknoos]

Sent in my submission yesterday

still working on the police one, ive been a bit unlucky. i havnt seen any when i have my camera on me except for yesterday.

I took a snap of him and he demanded i delete it, i said "im allowed by law to photograph anything in public as long as it wont be published" he said "where as that may or may not be correct if you do not delete the photo i will have to confiscate your camera" so i got rid of it to avoid all the hastle, feelsbadman

hopefully ill see more before sunday

[cringe.]

Will there be another chance to submit after this post? Because I don't think i'll be able to make this deadline as I have exams fast approaching.
But after early May I'll have all the time in the world

[saucy ragu]

My pictures came out bunk, and I definitely don't have 3 of each. I'll pilfer through them and email anyway..

[HATE!]

No way in fuck am I making that deadline.  Things is crazy round here.

[Matze]

same here. I even have to work this saturday ... we can push the deadline for a week or two I guess, haha.

[Matze]

so far, only friendly dave and finknoos submitted their pics ... 2 more submissions are coming this week, including vihreekerma and mine. who else has some stuff in the works?

[HATE!]

If you guys wait two weeks, all my shit will be coming from Italy.

[finknoos]

If you guys wait two weeks, all my shit will be coming from Italy.

i thought all the pics were meant to be from our home town, to represent where we live.

Italy is beautifull though

[HATE!]

FINE, I WON'T SEND 'EM! 

Nah, I forgot though- you're right about the town thing.

[finknoos]

So whats going on?

[Cadillac Ranch Dressing]

Bump.

Even though I wasn't able to contribute some stuff by the deadline myself, it would be a shame if a cool idea like this fell through the cracks. I'm getting off school pretty soon so I'm totally down to make a better effort this summer.

[vihreekerma]

I haven't done much lately, few weeks ago I got really sick and spent some time recovering. Now I'm fine, almost. At least I have  time to shoot now. We're not dumping this thing. This is just too good for that. I'm sorry that I didn't make the deadline myself either, but I want the photos to be also really really good. So, what I'm trying to say. Let's fucking do this mates, but let's not rush it through.

Cheers,
Eeli

[friendly dave]

So, are we gonna do this or did everybody give up?

[brent]

take 15 pictures of a cop's butt

[brianwilson]

Yeah let's do this.
