I have not submitted anything except from the very beginning of the gallery.
Today i submitted several photos i'm quite fond of, and i'll see hwo they go.
I did go into the site and looked at photos to vote on.

Well said, Mark. I noticed that the Dec. Pop Photo included a Pentax
add wherein another gallery contributor was featured, Julie Quarry. I
first noticed the feature in the Nov issue.
I suspect it would be a rush for a lot of photographers to be so
featured. Exposure could be a benefit.

Sometimes I do. I have never managed to get to the end of the

I never submit more than one photo at a time, and those submissions are
infrequent. For one, it's too much work, and I have other things to do. I do
feel somewhat obligated to vote. I don't like the process, but it's the only

I don't believe that submitters to a gallery space should rank the
