jblagg,
I know your post was not a complaint. I responded just for those who may have felt that way about my photo's. The Famous Messageboard "CRYBABY SYNDROME"
Believe it or not I used a Sony Cybershot 7.2 megapixil camera I bought in 2005. I wish I had it for the 2003 Tour went oldschool on those,Throw-A-Way Camera with Flash. Never smugled Cybershot in to a show. For some reason at a show I go into this weird zone when taking the pictures. It is a combination of the energy of the show, Eddie and Pearl Jam's amazing aoura that they brings to the stage. I guess I can explain it as a synergy of energies in motion. Pearl Jam,The Music,The Audience,The Camera and Myself. The proof is in the pictures!!!

I think you went a little overboard with the photos, if you wanted to showcase them you could have just showed us the entire album, but you really tainted the spirit of pearl jam and this contest by drowning the sole single submissions.
Hey You are right. I got too excited without really thinking it out longterm. Will be more mindful about the whole thing if there is a next time!!
Take care,
NYPearlJammer
I really feel bad for Lance having to sift through all of those. Some people seemed to use no discretion at all and submitted every last fuzzy Pearl Jam related photo they had. I can understand wanting to win and all, but come on...

Seemed over half are of people NOT in PJ. Kids, themselves.
After he get's all those out he still has many good PJ photo's to look at.

And why wouldn't there be a lot of non band pics?
The offical rules from the first post state:
Now if you don't have a live shot of the band, no worries. Any Pearl Jam related photo is eligible. It could be almost anything: a pic of Pearl Jam's tour bus, a shot of you playing air guitar to “Even Flow”, or even a photo of your dog sleeping next to a copy of "Vitalogy". Just remember kids; creativity counts, nudity doesn't.

Guess I never read that, I had already heard about contest when he posted it. No wonder taking so long to pick.
I read creativity was 50% content 25%.... I excluded my first row pj pics since the band were the ones being creative at the time, I just snapped the pic and happened to be front row. Didn't think Lance was looking for that. so going back to the drawing board for the lake and album shots aiming for the creativity aspect. so here is what i felt was my best shot... But I've see some cool band pics that I like better than my attempt at creativity. The guy who put the avocado heads I think has a pic comming, also the cell phone pic of ed first row with the rainbow effect/creativity. well my 2 cents...

ok all, I have completed my duties and my eyes are bleeding from staring at the computer for way too long...I have to say it was tough to pick 10 from over 1000 images! I have passed on the results to the powers that be and through a very secretive process they will post the winners on blip.fm very soon..I made it clear that we can not hold the wolves at bay any longer so stay tuned and everybody did a great job..Im trying to a think of a way we can have another contest or something similar so we can keep our affair going..but in the mean time im going out for some air...
ps..no sore loosers, i dont do well with guilt....
thanks

Lance, may I be the first to suggest the "Lance Mercer Quarterly/Semi-Annual Photo Club". I recently picked up a used Nikon D50, (18mm-55mm and a 55mm-200mm lens) and have been taking pics all summer of various things and really enjoying it. We could always be PJ related or not, but count me in. We don't always need prizes either, just have a good time...

awesome, can't wait to see the winning pictures!!
Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?
Lance, can't thank you enough for your time. It's always great to be able to share photos and have other people enjoy them. This was a great contest, looking forward to some more!! (if possible, ha!)....
eh, procrastination is my religion, so yes, never did get around to submitting anything. haha. so if it does happen again, AND perhaps work the kinks out of submission since it seems many did have issues, perhaps i'd finally get my dreamn arse on the ball and submit one or two.
i look forward to seeing the final winners! i have seen some amazing shots taken over the years, so really look forward to seeing some beautiful images!
