October '05 - Photo Challenge - "Colour"

[eydryan]

g-luck everyone and doesn't this month end already

hey, colour was here first, so color is just redneck talk

Not so sure you are right here, linguistically, for the -or ending is the old Latin ending, and the -our ending is the French variety of the same... and something tells me that Latin was there first...

I find this such a tough topic that even "Juxtaposition" seemed easier to me... the possibilities for "Colour" (as I was taught in school only because we were taught British English) are so huge... Dang! Where to start?

My first time on the Forum, 'Hello' everyone. Another first, entry into a Photo competition. It's all too much...

 

[eydryan]

damn! you're right here

[13th century. Via Old French < Latin color]

apparently you were also wrong but closer to the truth than me. and plus colour sound better!

 

[eydryan]

and more from brittanica this time:

Middle English colour, from Old French, from Latin color; akin to Latin celare to conceal -- more at HELL

so the american english word is actually derived from the english colour which in turn is derived from the latin color

 

[sleepy fire town]

this is kind of colour

 

[eydryan]

hey kid. this is not a critique gallery. i say we vote whether he should be allowed to participate at the contest, this is cheating... or well maybe ignorance but still it's not supposed to be here so i say we scrub him at least for this one. otherwise people will remember this shot from here and say uh it's that guy...

 

[LaFoto]

We need not "scrub" anyone here as long as this very photo does not appear in the Challenge. I am sure it has only been shown here out of ignorance.

"SleepyFireTown", photos that have once before been shown in any of the galleries here on this board must no longer enter the Challenge, for it is supposed to be completely anonymus. And this thread in which the October theme is being discussed is no gallery, so I would kindly request you to take your photo and present it in General Gallery, for example. But keep in mind: THIS photo must no longer go into the Challenge.

 

[eydryan]

yeah well you know i'm a little extreme at times

 

[sleepy fire town]

whta? i thought it said include your username?

 

[LaFoto]

If you hand in a photo that is supposed to take part in the Challenge, you e-mail it to the address given in the very first post, SleepyFireTown. In that e-mail, you must, of course, give your username, so ONE person DOES know all the identities (or board identities) of those who take part. How else would he in the end be able to declare a winner? No one else, though, is supposed to know who handed in the photos until voting is clearly over.

And therefore no photos that have been shown before are supposed to go into the Challenge because then it would be known by whom that photo is. And that might distort the voting. Do you understand? So if you have another photo full of colour, send it to the address provided in the very first post and hope for the best .

 

[eydryan]

yeah, pick another ace man
gee i hope it's me this month
