Assignment 15 is the conceptual topic of Competition. There are all kinds of competition in this world of ours. I photographed many types of competitions at the New York State Fair this year from art, photography, crafts, clothing, food, farm animals, wood working, talent, science and a slew of others. When I think of competition, I think of sporting events but there is also band, music, dance, games and eating.
I am sure you could come up with more kinds of competitions. In fact, that is what I am asking you to do. Photograph a competition(s) of any kind and share them with us.
As in the other assignments, do not send me your photos. What I would like you to do is post them on your blog, flickr, Google+ or other photo sharing site, personal website or any other place on the Internet where you can place a link to it here by making a comment to this blog entry. Then we can visit those sites and enjoy everyone’s Competition photos.
Please, have your photos posted on or before Midnight (your time), Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Don’t have a place to post? Might be a good time to start up a blog or join a photo community like flickr. As I have done for all the Assignments, I’ll put together a recap with my comments.
If you have any questions, leave me a comment and I will be happy to answer them. By the way, I would really appreciate it if you would help spread the word about this assignment so we can get lots of people to participate. Blog it, tweet it, Google+ it, email it and talk about it to your fellow photographers, bloggers, friends, family and pets. Thank you

Hi Scott-
Since I didn’t have any SU or Jets game on the calendar (darn it) I went with some good old fashioned girls soccer. Enjoy!! http://mylifeincny.wordpress.com/2011/09/26/competition-cny-style/
