Sorry, no drug photo could ever get more than a "1" from me. If I could I'd give a "-10"!
p.s. I hope the kid "just said no"!

So i thought we were supposed to grade the photos on their ingenuity and quality. Not on our moralistic leanings?

Don't see how this is a transition... its a handoff.
04/28/2002 01:57:00 PM
i wonder if people will react as strongly to this if they don't smoke pot! technically, the sky is a bit blown out, and the contrast could use a bump to make the image a bit more punchy, it has the bluey cast of a snapshot. it made me take my first hit of the day anyway, immediately reproducing your transition. :)
04/28/2002 03:59:00 AM
Transition??
04/27/2002 09:05:00 AM
too many people, too much stuff in the picture.
04/27/2002 07:30:00 AM
This has the potential to be a very strong image with cropping. The kid in the foreground has an innocent look about him and too me the pipe being offered suggests that is about to change hence fitting the challenge beautifully. Try taking off the left and top quarters of the photo and see what happens.
04/26/2002 05:11:00 PM
what a trippy tempting pipe guy
04/26/2002 03:59:00 PM
was this photo taken on 4.20? his eyes say it all.
04/26/2002 02:49:00 PM
i stopped, because it made me smell like an old lady
04/25/2002 10:34:00 AM
is that tobacco?
04/23/2002 08:25:00 PM
Sorry idea!
04/23/2002 06:29:00 PM
No thanks.
04/23/2002 05:24:00 PM
Very disturbing!
04/23/2002 03:19:00 PM
The top of the picture, especailly just right of center is overexposed. Dropping the light down a notch or two might have corrected this.
04/23/2002 01:11:00 PM
Great clear photo, I don't know how wise it was to put this on here.
04/23/2002 09:07:00 AM
the colors seem kind of washed out -- also the sky is way overexposed
04/23/2002 05:39:00 AM
what a hoot!!
04/23/2002 05:36:00 AM
transition of human to what??- zombie?
04/22/2002 06:17:00 PM
Good job. A crowd picture where the subject isn't lost.
04/22/2002 06:10:00 PM
wow, the world has another pothead
04/22/2002 04:28:00 PM
Transition, aka sharing? of a bong I think...Interesting. The background is a bit washed out, doesn't really create the atmosphere that I feel this subject would look best in. ~more isolated, darker, etc
04/22/2002 03:37:00 PM
Not sure what I am looking at here
04/22/2002 12:09:00 PM
is that stuff still good, been awhile
04/22/2002 11:50:00 AM
Sorry, no drug photo could ever get more than a "1" from me. If I could I'd give a "-10"!
p.s. I hope the kid "just said no"!
04/22/2002 11:37:00 AM
he he he funny idea.... 4/20 party?
04/22/2002 10:53:00 AM
Transition between levels of consciousness
04/22/2002 10:02:00 AM
Try Stridex... hey, maybe that would have been a good transition... watching that zit disappear :))
04/22/2002 08:15:00 AM
Ya know, this is actually an interesting composition. The three dudes are brough in as the subject of the image. Could be a little more crisp. Background is a bit bright.
04/22/2002 07:52:00 AM
420 fest... looks like fun. transitioning from low to high?
04/22/2002 06:19:00 AM
Let me guess? Germany?
04/22/2002 06:14:00 AM
hehe..
04/22/2002 06:08:00 AM
get rid of the bloke in the foreground
04/22/2002 05:30:00 AM
well dodgy and not just the facial hair! Interesting interpretation of the challenge...
04/22/2002 04:25:00 AM
badboyz badboyz badjob
04/22/2002 03:09:00 AM
Smoke weed much?
04/25/2002 09:42:00 AM
Lucky shot or engineered? :o) Feels very blue tho
04/23/2002 09:59:00 AM
Photography: the anti-drug. ;) This is very realistic, but I think I would have prefered more contrasts in color.
04/21/2002 10:14:00 PM
Would have liked a tighter crop around the subjects.
