dave holmes Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 <p>Hello all. I got wind of a Philadelphia photo contest that I wanted toshare, just in case anybody is feeling motivated. The contest is being held by10th Street Camera in Philadelphia, and is limited to photos in the "streetphotography" category. Looks like you don't HAVE to use a Leica to take thepicture. The winner will receive a refurbished Leica IIIf with a 50mm Elmarlens and 5 rolls of Ilford B+W. The complete rules are posted <ahref="http://blog.myspace.com/10thstreetcamera">HERE</a> Entries must besubmitted by March 31st.</p><p>Anyone ever been involved in a street photo contest? Any ideas what thejudges might look for? I'm not affiliated with 10th street camera, by the way.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charles_hess2 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hmmm, I live and work in center city Philly, and I've never heard of 10th Street Camera. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarfudd Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 From the fact they have a "myspace" I'd say it's probably run be a degenerate/n'er do well ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I'm on myspace, I guess I think the "degenerate" title is fine with me. <p> It looks like they set up recently on myspace. I don't know if there's a way to find out how recently, there may be a way.<p> I figure when they say this:<p> <i>ALL IMAGES MUST ORIGINALLY BE FROM FILM.</i><p> it means they're more interested in the physical media than the photograph itself.

elmarfudd Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I'm the degenerate, actually. As far as it being film only, I have had some complaints. Future contests will allow for digital, feel free to make any inference you want from it's exclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charles_hess2 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Well, my curiosity is peaked...I'll stop by their "store" tomorrow. Again, I've never heard of them, have never seen any advertisements locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloosqr Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 That is awesome.. I'd like to do this, though i would not win, still it would be fun.. by no digital do they mean not even scanning in and printing digitally? Or just no digital camera?

jeffpolaski Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I work in Center City Philly and also am not familiar with this place. I've seen Camera Care on Arch go out of business, Center City leave Walnut Street. I know Webb's on North 12th, and Calumet is in South Philly. Is this 10th Street place a gallery? In which case, who are they? And is this a way to build stock?<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave holmes Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 James Copes, until very recently, worked at Adventure Photo in Exton: they shut their doors permanently in december. I believe James got his hands on some of Adventure's supply of equipment, found a storefront with an attractive address (and rent!) and now sells Leica and Nikon vintage-ware along with Efke film and some other items. (I'm sure James will step in and correct any of this if it's wrong.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarfudd Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Jeff, I really only sell equipment and supplies. My store is tiny, I wish I had enough room for a gallery. Stop by sometime if only just to introduce yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas_sullivan Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 that's cool...if you don't count the Speedline ride from NJ.....heh....I live like 5 blocks from the store. Have to stop in and check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarfudd Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Thomas, Get off the patco, walk up the stairs. Directly to your left will be the Locust Bar. Pick up a six pack. Procede to 10th Street Camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
