DISCLAIMER:
None of this data is to be construed as a Good Thing or a Bad Thing about
any of the events or their participants!!! Individuals have joined the
list since these began nearly three years ago (ADITL 1 was in June
1999). A few others have left the list. Other higher priority activities
in people's lives legitimately take precedence over participation in these
events and can preclude being able to make the time window. No single
event is everyone's "cup of tea" and it's quite legitimate to pick and
choose which to participate in.
There have been 3 ADITL and 8 TOPE events (TOPE 9 hasn't been posted yet).
George M. Anderson sponsored ADITL 1 and ADITL 2:

Olaf Greve has sponsored ADITL 3 and TOPE 1 through TOPE 9:

Some factoids about these events:
1. 162 participants have posted photographs to one or more of them.
2. 11 particpated in all the ADITL events.
3. 5 have participated in all the TOPE events (1 through 8).
4. 3 have participated in all ADITL and TOPE events.
5. 3 more have participated in all but one (10 total).
6. TOPE in order of greatest to least number of submissions:
(a) 71: TOPE 1, Self Portraits [DOH!; this one is open-ended]
(b) 70: TOPE 6, Macro
(c) 57: TOPE 5, Portraits
(d) 51: TOPE 7, Human Society
(e) 43: TOPE 3, Bokeh
(f) 35: TOPE 8, Flash Photography
(g) 32: TOPE 2, Night Pictures
(h) 31: TOPE 4, Abstract Photography
7. Numbers of participants participating in less than all 8 TOPE events:
(a) 7 events: 3
(b) 6 events: 7
(c) 5 events: 11
(d) 4 events: 10
(e) 3 events: 26
(f) 2 events: 29
(g) 1 event: 56
[Note: this won't add up to 162 as it doesn't
include the 5 who have done all eight and
15 individuals participated in an ADITL,
but not in any TOPE.]
Based on past history with the number of submissions Olafo has when the
shooting window closes, I predict TOPE 9 will land somewhere in the top
three for participation.
