I don't see this as a valid assumption. Just as likely, availability of the proposed judge's time would be a big factor in selecting judges. And the current more commercially active photographer might well have the least amount of time and patience to judge a contest like this. And while a the sample of photogs on the LUG probably doesn't equally represent all styles of photography, the populist approach gives someone's superbly executed "scantily clad model, sprayed olive oil sweat, gold filters on the big softboxes, airbrushed ersatz Maxim cover photo" shot a flying chance of winning :-) Scott Eric wrote: >I'm not really sure how a populist approach is going to help any of us learn >or grow.
