These are all great and very important questions. As a start I really wanted
to just get a list of MOCs. It will be hard to judge the quality of a MOC with
bad photos but with that in mind hopefully we can judge more fairly based on
MOC and not photography skills. At least this is a good first step and fairly
non-envasive. I plan on one small step at a time.
However once selected it is almost imparitive to have good "pro-ish" photos,
especially for print (if the project goes that direction).
One idea is I can setup small model photo studio with lights... with some
advice from some photographer friends and have the MOCs mailed to me to be
photographed.
I also have in mind that a small write up (micro interview) on each MOC would
be part of the package. What the MOC was modeled after (and photos), special
details, best know or new methods, tips & tricks... Instructions would be
cool...
Just thinking outloud online.
