CONTEST
Bespectacled Beauty Closing Soon


Tomorrow MONDAY midnight GMT time the time to send your entries and prove that spectacles are cool and inspiring.




Rules are pretty simple, and I've left out the obvious, such as that I will gladly throw out any sexist, racist, insulting or hatemongering entry, etc.:

1. The subject of the photograph must be a female model wearing eyeglasses, not sunshades. It's not necessary for the photographer to wear glasses unless she's the model also. No obvious or excessive manipulations, we're judging photography. It has to be a new photo, meaning it must be uploaded no earlier than February 25. If we don't get at least 15 entries, the contest is void and we all will feel sad and downtrodden, don't let this happen.

2. The criteria will be the usual in photography: exposure, sharpness, composition, passion, emotion, creativity, creativity and expresiveness, expresiveness, expresiveness. This means that I'd love to have more than the expected, usual photo, but rather an original and daring approach to the subject of bespectacled beauty and emotion, Ok?

3. Deviant's votes will decide the contest. In case of a tie, I'll have the deciding vote, power is cool.

4. There will be three places. Fisrt place: a three-month subscription donated by =cfosgate and a 20x30 inch print of any of my photos. Second place: a three-month subscription donated by =cfosgate and a 16x24 inch print of any of my photos. Third place: a three-month subscription donated by =cfosgate and a 10x15 inch print of any of my photos. Additional prize donations from other deviants very welcome.

5. The contest is open as of now and we will receive entries until March 31st. To enter, send me a note with the title "Glasses" and the deviation link. I will be linking the contestants in this journal on March 31st. Voting will be massive (hah) and popular and will happen from April 1st until April 15. You can enter as many photos as you wish.



Girls who wear glasses II

Since a journal and features devoted to women, beauty and eyeglasses was the reason I launched this contest, here are more of my favorites on the topic.










I always thought of photography as a naughty thing to do -- that was one of my favorite things about it, and when I first did it, I felt very perverse.
-- Diane Arbus

As many as you wish, of course.
All this time I'd been thinking that nobody liked women with glasses. I suppose that's the difference between boys and men.
Hopefully I won't be too tied up and can make time to work on a contest entry.

Unfortunately no, it has to be new, uploaded after yesterday. But you can take a great new photo, I'm sure.
I'd really like to have an entry from one of the first people I watch in DA.

Will you collaborate with me on the video ([link])?

I am thankful for all the favorites and comments you give to my work, but you might have seen I don't send a thank you note for each and every one of them. This does not mean I'm not aware and grateful. Since I also don't send indignant notes to everyone that looks at my work and doesn't fave it or comment it, this is somehow fair.
