      Yeah let's do it! I'm keen.

    2. lebogang nkoane

      Awe! I'll give you shout when I touch down!

    3. Diaan

      I'm in ye olde Cape Town too these days! You have my phone number?

      I won't lie, Cape Town is so awesome that I hardly have any free time, but I'll definitely scratch open a moment for a 75 meetup, especially now that I live so close to the action and not 50km away like I did in GP.

      This Thursday (tomorrow, as I type this) is First Thursdays (http://www.first-thursdays.co.za/) so Cape Town is gonna be rocking. I'll start off at an exhibition at the CTSP (http://ctsp.co.za/) at about 6pm, and see where the evening takes me from there.

      That said... I almost always have time for a quick coffee during the day... life of a freelancer, yo. I'm usually working at a coffee shop either near Orms, or in the Woodstock Exchange. ;)

    4. lebogang nkoane

      Ah! I got your number now!

      We will connect!

    1. Lebogang Ditibane

      nah thats all good with me, will start looking now.

    2. ntsasa

      so exciting *does a little jig*
      ok, so just to clarify: i as a 'grapher must:
      1. nominate any 2 photographs over the last year
      2. nominate 2 of my own photographs for the same period?

      please confirm
      thanks

    3. lebogang nkoane

      I'd say do both.

      But, you haven't posted in a long, long time.

    4. ntsasa

      yes *bows head in shame*

    5. Lebogang Ditibane

      Annual range being 2011/10 - now right?

    6. lebogang nkoane

      Nah.

      12 months from the first of september this year. which would make it: September 2011 — 31 August, 2012.

    7. Diaan

      I'd like to see unlimited nominations, actually. The more good stuff surfaces, the more good stuff we have to pick the very best from.

      For interest sake, how many photos have been submitted in the last 12 months? Can you say?

    8. Fluxd

      This sounds really cool im in will send my nominees hehehe sounds weird

    9. lebogang nkoane

      If my SQL was correct, then we have 3705 photographs for that period.

    10. Gods Kid Brother

      mnandi mnandi!

    11. Native Soul

      is there an extention to the DEADLINE SWOOOOOOSHED PASS me , as i was travelling
      i still need to sit down and get my selections going ---

      what is the what what ---

    12. lebogang nkoane

      lets extend it to december?

    13. Daz

      Sadly, I cannot submit anything as I haven't posted on 75 for a year.
      But I'd happily submit previous images for The Annual, if (as Diaan suggests) the nominations were unlimited.
      Shot. Snap'd.

      PS: Is there a reason I haven't been on 75. iPhoneography & Instagram. Mostly. I have barely used my DSLR of late. I'll be back ..

    13. Thato Sehlabela

      I'm there!

      Let me charge my cam's battery...

    14. Diaan

      You mean you don't have multiple spares that are always charged? Sho! ;)

    15. Lebo Shmoove

      @Diaan duh! lol. I have a bad habit of forgetting my memory cards, always leave em in my laptop. Hope i don't forget em or take the one smallest in size this time around -___-

    16. Lebogang Ditibane

      @Lebo, i suffer from the same thing but that was back when i had only one... i'd always forget it in the laptop , get somewhere and try to shoot, then i get "NO CARD" i used to hate that ish

    17. Diaan

      You guys mean you don't always-as-in-ALWAYS keep your spare memory cards in your camera bag and nowhere else, ever? Double-sho! ;)

    18. Thato Sehlabela

      :'D

      That too...

    19. Lebogang Ditibane

      im on that tip now Diaan, always covered with the spare

    20. lebogang nkoane

      Yes, that reminds me — I gotta charge too.

    21. Lebo Shmoove

      LOL Diaan are u nuts. I have three now thanx to my short term memory. And hence " I hope I don't take the smallest one in size" n used the words "memory cards". Meaning there is more than one lol
      @Lebo I hope u don't only one have memory card :(

    22. Lebogang Ditibane

      got more than one shmoove...

      just from my thoughts.... theres too many Lebogangs in this world. WHY!!!!

  4. Themes Anybody?

    1. Sheri_G

      I like the "Tag you are it" theme... Sounds like fun!

    2. Lebogang Ditibane

      sudijons mentioned architectural on this shot: http://75.co.za/t_sehlabela/2012/06/05 that would be a cool one too. i like number 3 and 5 on the "normal list" and 1 - 3 on the "tricky" parts.

      When do we begin...

    3. Mxolisi twentySeven

      I like:
      Looking down
      Colour
      & Self-reflection

      Manipulation could be fun too. Sort of like Photoshop tennis on Flickr.

    4. lebogang nkoane

      :)

      @lebogang ditibane: we will begin when we have a consensus.

      I also think a theme every 3 to 4 weeks is better.

    5. Jeff Rikhotso

      Any Theme for me out of the above, we on. But i like Flattery, sounds more challenging and might be more interesting since it will be a collabo and involves more than just Jeff and his camera.

    6. Lebogang Ditibane

      flattery sounds awesome yes

    7. Lebo Shmoove

      I'm good with all the themes,i currently blew my external/backup drive. Lost all my photos, so i need to get out there and start shooting super hardcore :-[

      Via Manipulation - how would we get the raw file to manipulate, would the interested parties be emailed the file maybe?

    8. lebogang nkoane

      tjo! harde jo! jerr — there is no consoling lost photographs, none!

      on Manipulation: it will be share via dropbox, or email even. the trick would be for all of us keep mom 'bout it until we upload, that the guest that come here get surprised when we do it.

    9. Fluxd

      I like these when do we start ?

    10. lebogang nkoane

      I don't know yet, say from next week.

      We start with the easy ones then get to the tricky one's when the moment has moved.

      I'd suggest we do a theme at least every 3 weeks or at most every month?

  5. 5 Years. Spirit of the time.

    3. lebogang nkoane

      No doubt, in the words of Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim):

      "We've come a long long way together / through the hard times and the good / I have to celebrate you, baby / I have to praise you, like I should." — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex1qzIggZnA

    8. Jeff Rikhotso
