The Photo Entries Are In, Now It Is Voting Time!!!


I'm not sure if ya'll are ready for this, but we got a pretty large response for this contest (over 30 entries!).   But it's not over, cause we need ya'll to vote on your favorite photo.   Each photo will be given a 1 word name, provided by myself, and then listed in the poll.  Vote on the poll for the one you like most.  FYI, the super sweet pic of my custom Create2Destroy denim jacket is not part of the contest.  

As for the prizes, we'll be digging thru the C2D treasure chest for some goodies, and also depending on the winners shoe/shirt size some extra special gear from the Hollister bed bug dumpster sale.   Just kidding, we got some ill shit that will make you the envy of the internet and all those suckers who didn't participate.

C2D Viewer Submitted Photo Contest

There comes a time when a ballerific website such as ours needs to step back, take a look at what we’ve achieved, and then give back to the little people that got us here.    For every gold plated drug kingpin 45 Accatone buys we need to think about young Jimmy in Nebraska clickin on those ad’s.   Whenever Curtis adds another tricked out 50cc scooter to his collection, we need to thank Javier down in Lima (global shun!).   I won’t go into details on the interns and their trips to the NAMBLA districts of Thailand, but I will remind them that this is their final warning.  And me?  I don't have any vices...

The point I am trying to drive home here, is that we need to give back, and what better way than with a user submitted photo contest.   The theme, to take a picture that captures the C2D spirit.   Send it in, we’ll post em up, and have all the viewers vote in a poll.   The winner will get a prize pack full of hip T-shirts, hip hop musical CDs, reggae musical CDs, stickers, maybe some sweat bands, etc…     (the last contest winner won 2 pairs of sneakers and some books!!)   Original photos only, none of that google image search shit.   Send pics and your info to createtodestroy@gmail.com

And yes, “the spirit of C2D” means you can send in photos of whatever the hell you want, so have fun with it.   We’ll be accepting submissions for 30 days, so get em in while you can (July 22nd).  Multiple submissions are allowed.   Voting will take place once all submissions are posted up.

A step back

Now that I have access to a darkroom and negative scanner, its about time I give this analogue thing a try. I've never officially shot film before - a pure digital shooter since my first camera, a 3.2MP canon s30 back in 2001. Maybe I'm tired of the aesthetic ambiguity digital provides. Either way, I welcome this Nikkormat to my stable, and thank the bed stuy Argentinian for lending it to me - its in good hands.
