Good Luck!!!

any clarification on what the hell you mean by old & new? or are we just supposed to run with it?

I was thinking just run with it. Generally speaking, I'd be looking for shots that show some contrast between "old" and "new" using whatever subjects are selected and/or whatever interpretation the photographer wants to apply around what exactly "old" and "new" mean.

Not sure if that's any clearer?

**Keegan** · 03-12-2009, 01:57 PM

I'll play. Could be some good shots submitted for this one...

since that last photo I shot was triptych, I am not sure if it counts for 3 or just one. In any case, I think I will put up another one. Feel free to disqualify it.

My first entry into one of these things...

**Tippster** · 03-18-2009, 02:05 PM

Nice. First one that fits the theme, IMHO, which I understand to be a juxtaposition between old and new.

Great attention to the THEME!

**Crystal_Mt_Dreamin** · 03-18-2009, 03:16 PM

Well played SE Maggot!

**JimmyCarter** · 03-18-2009, 05:43 PM

I think Doc's is also a decent interpretation of the theme, more of a new from old

I was waiting for the first old/new ski comparison, as that's something half this board would easily have nearby.

**gholman12** · 03-18-2009, 07:20 PM

I don't know guys, give single some cred here, he's shooting modern day scenes in an old fashioned style (btw single, how the fuggg did you do that 2nd one? crazy post processing? Lightroom? Photoshop? TEACH ME!). And the Doc is a color master imho. I really haven't found any inspiration at all myself with this theme yet...

**single** · 03-19-2009, 01:23 AM

holman gets it.

**supermodel159** · 03-19-2009, 09:22 AM

My entry

**hdcb166** · 03-21-2009, 03:22 AM

nice shot wra ^^^

Fresh blood - old rock

Old pinecone - new plantlife

Old life feeding new life

**YoungManofTheMountain** · 03-21-2009, 06:06 PM

^^^ I really like those three, the fly is especially unique. My first thought for this contest was plant life related too which seems pretty played out at this point. Ima get back in the think tank.

**JimmyCarter** · 03-24-2009, 08:01 AM

Bump for 3 days left.

Some nice shots in here so far.

**nick > jesus** · 03-24-2009, 10:45 PM

I was looking forward to what would come of this theme, and I have not been disappointed.

**JimmyCarter** · 03-25-2009, 11:35 AM

Two days left...

haha, Oh I wish they were. But I'm not paying to enter these contests

**blackhand** · 03-25-2009, 07:17 PM

What time tomorrow does this end? I have a few shots I want to contribute but need to develop/ scan the film.

**always wright** · 03-25-2009, 08:54 PM

I'm not a photographer, but I've been following the MPCs from the start. There's some serious talent here. I especially like the shot above of blood on rock.
