I had a very difficult child who only spoke Spanish... he routinely hurt kids in my class.... one day on the playground I went into a rant at him about how he was hurting my friends, I didn't like it... pushing was not ok.... the whole deal..... but I heard this raucous laughter just outside the playground.... I had totally NOT thought about it.... but I did it all in my pitiful spanish!!!! My co-worker (bilingual) who is originally from Costa Rica (and taught me everything I know) was laughing hysterically because I had done it all in Spanish. I asked what she was laughing at.... she said she didn't know I had THAT in me! hehehehehehehe She said I taught you well! Once she was there... I had her help me with a few more things that needed to be said that didn't fit in my phrases I knew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of my best spanish has come in situations where I have thought the least about it. The first time I realized I was capable of confidently carrying on conversation with native speakers, I was asked a question and I automatically responded in Spanish with out realizing it until they said "Wow your spanish has gotten a lot better"

Very few places will actually provide you with feedback. It used to be you could at least see the judging sheets...but most places have stopped doing that.

A typical score sheet has four categories.
Visual Impact 0----------20----------40
Composition 0----------15----------30
Technical Quality 0----------10----------20
Workmanship 0----------5----------10
Maximum Score = 100

Now to explain how the judging can go so fast...as you notice, there is a score in the middle of each column. In standard judging, if a print receives a score to the left of center in any category, the print is rejected and scoring stops...Scores to the right of center are tallied and the highest score wins...and so on down the line...in the event of a tie...the image with the highest score at the top of the sheet wins....(two prints score 90...print A scores 36 in Visual Impact, print B scores 38 in Visual Impact...print B wins)

The three judges at the Oregon State Fair did not use that form. I would guess that it took an average of 6 or 7 seconds to judge each photo. Each judge could award a minimum of 1 point and a maximum of 9 I believe. A helper would place a photo on the easel, the judges would vote, the photo would be stored and another put on the easel. They were doing 2 or 3 per minute.

Product photography is not my thing... (Especially with out my 17-35 at the moment and the tight space surrounding the clean corner of my room ).
I wanted the 8" version of this boot, but the factory store had a GREAT deal on a factory 1st of the 6" and I couldn't turn it down.
