It strikes me as somewhat odd that this section - well, where the first pic on the site gets seen - stimulates such little response. I can´t remember where I picked up on this next point, but somebody wrote to the effect that LuLa seems to be more about pixels than pictures.
There are three or four main bits where pics get posted: the MF section; a 35mm space; the newest section started by James and then the 'criticism' section down at the end of the contents list. Though the one started by James was intended to be for pro work in format and era of your choice, after an initial burst of enthusiasm it pretty well dried up - more or less - and non-pro work appeared.
This is not to knock non-pro work, but it defeats the point of the section. To make it clear, should that read commissioned work?
Perhaps there is a need for a fresh direction via the Admin in order to return these sections to their original purpose or, perhaps, a re-vamp to separate pro from am. This wouldn´t stop anyone posting but might at least keep the separate interests alive. For example, what difference does it make if both MF and smaller pro work is bundled together? File/film details can still be posted and is there really anyone so small minded that they can´t bear to see all formats together? Or would that be part of the problem, a playing field too level for some?
For myself, I like to see pro pictures; which camera they come from matters not a jot. What matters is that they be interesting and their purpose known.
What do you think about this?
