At home: Big sky day

The children and I spent the evening laid on our tummies on the living room floor. The laptop in front and the Lovers of Light maximised up on the screen. We decided that we were to pursue the judging task as perscribed at Blipfoto HQ.

Ella was the button pusher. Move on or Nominate. Sam being the voice of reason, would pipe up and say, "well, they thought about this", "look how that shines" and "wow, criss crossing clouds". To some extent, we feel like a judging panel on 'The Voice' or a talent contest. There is so much talent thats the problem. How do you define talent.

My personal reference points, I am thinking Man Ray, Eccleston, and sometimes harsh elements of McCullin. I am thinking paintings too, the huey British tones, washed together. How do you know where to begin and end. Everyone has a different perception of beauty and art. That, I guess is the point of the big vote. A national, a global average. Its more than just a competition. Its a gauge of where the global eye is at. Where it settles.

Let the contest begin........x
