I'm wondering what the most popular themes will be. My guess is:
1. Old person with young child/baby
2. Old building next to new building
We should run a book:) |

Started to do that one, but thought twice. |

Hmmm... definately the old person child, is my guess,
I don't know why I submitted - the dpc bug is crazy - I literally walked in the door at 2:40 pm (submission ends at 3:00 pm brissie time) by the time I'd uploaded todays shots it was 2:52, Only had time to run a quick contrast/levels adjustment on like one image....and yet I submitted it anyway.... bring on the 5.2!!!! :)

*hides* Those two "themes" were the only two thoughts I had for this challenge...thankfully, I didn't enter considering my creativity was waning :)

If we eliminated all the "generations" shots, all the "phone" shots, all the "audio" shots, all the "film/disk" shots, all the "camera" shots, all the "flower" shots, and all the "architecture" shots, there wouldn't be much left... I never seen a challenge (in my admittedly short time here) that clumped up so clearly.
Another popular topic was "shoes", though not as many as these others.
I'm suprised to not see more "clothes" shots, I would have expected a number of those.
Interesting to see peoples' minds converging on this one. I disn't enter this one, incidentally; I couldn't make my idea (which was none of the above) work.
Good luck to all. I see one image in particular I would be stunned not to see take the Blue, but I've been stunned often, so...
Robt.

Funny, I didn't enter this one because I just couldn't get outside the box! All I thought of was: record/c.d, old building/new building, senior/child etc etc....

'Urro.
I've only looked at the thumbnails and it looks like I got original nailed, there dosn't appear to be anything similar.. Also I'm on 5.7 which in my book is all good.
I'm hoping to break out of my '5.4' rut, my last three scores have been 5.463, 5.463 and 5.478. At least I'm consistent. :-).
Although I shouldn't jinx it, that's only after 30 votes, so I could slip back to 5.463 pretty quickly...
Cheers, Me.

I'm hesitant to rate pictures featuring inter-generational subjects (grandparents and children and the like). To me, this seems off-topic and belonging to category called "Old and Young" rather than "Old and New". I can't seem to get past the equating of Young and New and want to mark these pictures down, yet this also seems nit-picky and unfair.
Thoughts, anyone? |

Seems pretty nit-picky to me to exclude the subset "old and young" from the larger set "old and new"... If we follow that line of reasoning, who the heck knows where it will end? For example, is a bridge really "architecture"? We got a bridge that ribboned...
Just my opinion...

Of course a bridge is architecture - how wouldn't it be?

| Bridges could be considered more engineering than architecture, but I digress. Bear's right, Old and Young fits within the criteria. Right after I posted my question I saw another picture with an old person and a young child, but the theme of the picture was more Old Master and New Student. No penalty from me. |

actually two bridges ribboned...
the description of the challenge is:
"Create an image showing a juxtaposition of old and new."
It doesn't imply object, tool, technology any more than it excludes plants, people or animals. |

Bridges are examples of "structural engineering"; a purist would say that it can't be architecture if it doesn't provide shelter. That's not to say a bridge can't have architectural elements (architects often consult on the design of major bridges, the San Diego Bay Bridge is a remarkable and unique bridge that was designed by a client of mine in conjunction with an engineering firm) but among professional designers bridges are not considered to be architecture per se. The aforementioned SD Bay Bridge was entered in, and disqualified from, the annual design competition of the San Diego Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, but won several awards from the equivalent group for Structural Engineers.
However, the lines are blurry; that's why I say don't be in a hurry to exclude subsets because they fit in more precisely elsewhere. Suppose we had a challenge for "engineering"; would we exclude those subjects from "architecture"? That's the point I'm trying to make. Hell, some people would say a corrugated-steel warehouse isn't "architecture"... I'm not one of them, though.
Robt.
addendum; yeah, you're right anime. My bad. i was thinking of the Golden Gate, plumb forgot the Blue... Hell, we should DQ these damned "engineering" projects as off topic, dontcha think? jejeje�

Just to throw it out there... while bridges are examples of "structural engineering" in a purist view, how can you view the bridges of Santiago Calatrava as anything but art? :) Surely more of a cross-breed of architecture/engineering/art than anything else?

The definition of architecture
The art and science of designing and erecting buildings.
Buildings and other large structures:
A style and method of design and construction: Byzantine architecture.
