But I do want to know who took it, and if mine is selected, I'd like
folks to know.
That said, I'd be content to simply post a rotating gallery and
forego the contest.

Wasn't it the very inclusive idea of "A day in the life of OM" the original
idea that everyone responded positively to. Akin to the "Day in the Life of
..." series of photobooks where a group of photographers are invited to
photograph whatever they want which represents their experience of the
subject country. How did this nice idea morph into a competition with
themes and judgings and critiques? Instead of an exposition of the life
experiences of the participants, it becomes picture taking to win a
contest. Something quite different.
