UPDATE#2: I sent images last night to Colton to give him a head start, there are some wonderful examples there. The challenge closes on November 8 at which time I will send the remainder of the images to him for "judging"...Thanks to all showing interest in this challenge!
UPDATE: Colton Allen will be curating this challenge. I will download and send all images to him for review. For those interested in participating, here is the original post with information about Colton and links to his work.
Colton Allen is a great inspiration of mine on many levels. He is a member with me in the Film Shooter's Collective. No, film imagery is not required!
As you see, Colton soldiers on making beautiful imagery in the face of ALS.
His color imagery depicting "Urban Exploration" is the goal of this challenge. Colton's colors are rich and his choice of subject matter and composition are simple and refined.
I asked for Colton's permission before starting this and he is thrilled to be featured. I ask each of the 6 finalists send me a .jpg of the image to me at lasousa@me.com. I will send it along directly to Colton and ask him to contact each of the photographers with words of thanks and encouragement.
Here is a link to Colton's color portfolio of urban scenes. If you wish, add Colton's signature simple white border to your image (not required of course)
Lastly thank you all immensely for choosing my work from the many great images submitted. Special thanks to my partner in crime Kali for giving me the nudge to participate.
