| Just wondering, do they ever change the shooting dates for a challenge after the challenge is posted? I have some really cool Blue and Yellow pics that I shot shortly after the conflict started. I would love to submit one of them. |

| Unfortunately for you, we don't do that :-( It's one of the great "mysteries" of DPChallenge, according to some folks, how we manage to post a challenge the day after they see and shoot something cool that "would have been perfect for the challenge!" :-) |

In the very early days of DPC this happened to me so frequently I had to consider whether joining the SC enabled Langdon (the founder) to scan my hard drive for ideas ... :-( |

| Common, people, only 31 entries? Too busy to express your solidarity? Don't care? |

That's kinda' negative, Margaret :-( 31 entries is right in the normal wheelhouse for non-archival, themed challenges these days. And I expect we'll see some more before rollover. To imply that "not entering" = "don't care" is kind of below the belt. There are MANY ways of showing caring and involvement. |

That doesn't even make SENSE, Margaret. Of course we've noticed. I doubt there's a single DPCer that isn't aware of the situation doesn't deplore it, or that isn't scared.
But that doesn't have anything to do with challenge participation in DPC... |

I wanted to enter, but I've had a very difficult two weeks. My Mom passed away on Tuesday.
I actually tried to shoot for the challenge this afternoon but couldn't come up with anything I was happy with. There's still a slim chance I'll enter at the last moment, but I doubt it.

Thanks. It's hard, but I take comfort from the fact that she's not suffering any more. Her last couple of days were really bad.
