PoP Inauguration Photo Contest
Well, you knew it was coming. A PoP Inauguration photo contest of course! I’m interested in all types of photos – photos of the inauguration itself, the parade, parties, concerts, and what I think may be super interesting – just random shots from the week that somehow capture the celebratory spirit. Photos will be accepted all week. Winner and numerous honorable mentions will all get PoP t-shirts. I’m really psyched to see what you guys see. You can send me a flickr link or attach the image directly to an email at princeofpetworth@gmail.com

I thought they said there would be a lot of pigs here, but there are horses too?

OMG their SMOG and Baltimore Bomb pies are ridiculously delicious!
So, let me take a stab at interpreting this:
Any place populated with humans that’s 100% devoid of anything resembling capitalism. People will need stuff, they will trade to get it. People will have a problem finding a double coincidence of wants so they’ll create money. Some may begin to accumulate more money than necessary so they’ll save it and lend it with hopes they’ll get a bit more of it for when they might need it later. And then what do you have?
Yes, reallocate, regulate it ’til kingdom come but it’s still capitalism. Wake up.
To semi-hijack an inauguration photography contest thread, Fotoweek is holding their own — winners get their work in the Newseum, in a limited edition book, and can win big cash prizes.
Who says you can’t enter both: http://fotoweekdccontest.org/
May I recommend a common (and unique) tag for all flickr entries? I’d love to see everybody’s photos. Maybe a tag like PoPphotocontest?
If you use flickr you can tag your photos with PoPObamaWeekContest
woops, should read “show me any place populated with humans…”
I know most of you are fine with “the program”, and I respect that. Nothing I truly embrace (jazz, poetry, among other things) is a mass market sort of thing. Having said that, this photo makes me feel less alone.
Oh so this isn’t a contest to caption these photos? Bummer…and I spent 2 whole minutes working on “The wet t-shirt contest at the Federal Reserve’s Inaugural Ball was a really bad idea.”
I really need to read the entire post instead of just enlarging the pictures.
“It’s Still. Wake Capitalism Up!”
