I'm getting pretty excited! Carl is getting set to formally announce the Something Sinister II photo contest, and I'm lucky enough to be one of the judges again this year.
With that in mind I thought I'd give a little cheat sheet so that participants who want an edge could get my feedback in advance.
It's really all about the word sinister which is defined (in part) as follows:
singularly evil or productive of evil
presaging ill fortune or trouble
accompanied by or leading to disaster
When I came up with the project the idea was to take something innocent and make something sinister and dark. That's what I hope to see in the images submitted this year.
Carl will post the formal rules, but I want you to know the spirit of what I hope to see. Make it as simple or as complicated as you want, but tell me a story (without telling me the whole story, leave a little something to my imagination), make me think, make me worry, make me look over my shoulder. And as for you...have fun with it! I'm really looking forward to seeing again what Carl's creative readers come up with.
