I've Been Tempted



Many visitors here know I am from Sunderland and that my local football team is Sunderland AFC.

There is a football team in Kenya named Sunderland AFC Keroche, the team is sponsored by people mainly from the Sunderland and Seaham areas of the North East of England.

A few years back a number of the players of the team and people associated with the team sent me images and asked if I could do anything with them, one of those people was Buddah Jose Jairaz, the top goal scorer for Sunderland AFC Keroche.

After giving the FAA TV Competition some thought, I messaged Buddah Jose and asked if he thought it would be OK to enter the image I produced from the one he asked me to work on, I received a reply today telling me to go ahead, so here it is, 2013 A Place Odyssey.

Votes required please.

ANNE GEDDES







Have you looked into the work of Anne Geddes - Having an idea of the work she produces might be an indicator of the type of work that might win. If she is a landscape photographer she is more likely to have an interest in the landscapes that are entered than say the portraits
____

Gina Pierson:

Her fame is actually centered around newborn pictures. I unfortunately don't have any of those.

____



Family life - more likely happy - outdoors I would say - not the gleaming white smiling - tooth paste type images - but almost - activity shots - the type you might see of Barack Obama and his family. - her way of dressing would suggests she is not often in gritty areas such as ghettos.
____

Landscapes possibly - in order not to look predictable - Street Photography not likely, She is likely to like a big sky - Texas could be in the running,
____

She likes her comfort - I would guess snow and ice are out of the betting,
____

Though snow and ice viewed from a luxury cabin with a roaring log fire I guess has its charm.
____

She lives in New Zealand so Wikipedia claim, so she is possibly a little more hardy than her bone structure would indicate.
____

She once lived in Hong Kong so big cities have a chance - what big city in America looks the most romantic? I think the winner will be American - if big cities are in the running I would say possibly the waterways of Chicago. But Paris is good outside bet,
____

Who are the people most likely to be in the photographs?
____

I am sure you can guess,
____

From those rough ideas do a search in FAA of Paris, Chicago and Texas and then go though photographers until you find those of a big agency - such as National Geographic - study their work - but among them I do not think there will be a winner but someone else producing work in a similar style.
____

Sports and outdoor activities - out

Hunting and fishing - out

Pets - out

Flowers and plants - not in a month of Sundays

Babies? - Not Likely

Ships and boats - out

Cars, trains and aeroplanes - out

Wildlife - out

_

But entry is free

And so enter your Teddy Bear and just wait and see
