The Yards' Mentoring Program





As a way of improving as a street photographer we at the Yard have put together a mentoring program. If you are interested to participate as a mentor or as a protégé (a.k.a. "telemáchus" or "mentee") please send us a note [link] .

If you are a total beginner, not only as a street shooter, but also as a photographer, then many of our members are potential mentors. If you are an experienced photographer and also a veteran street roamer then the potential amount of mentors is obviously considerably smaller. Still, our ambition is to be able to provide all of us with a mentor for a while if possible. So do not hesitate to let us know if you are interested. Have in mind that you can both be a mentor and protégé at the same time...

We do not have a scheme of how a mentorship should take form. We do not want to impede a mentor by outlining how things are to be done. Most likely some relationships will blossom, and some will not. If it does then enjoy the magic! If not do not despair nor act disrespectful, just apply again for a new mentorship after your period is up. A new mentor means a new opportunity!

We will do our best to match the right Mentor for each protégé, but it is an arbitrary process. Hopefully things will run smoothly from the beginning, if not we will make adjustments and improve over time.

VETERAN'S AWARD BADGE TO THOMAS SCHMIDT







We at the Yard Collective are hereby very happy to announce that Thomas Schmidt :iconlargethomas: from Bremen in Germany is awarded the ”The Yard's Veteran's Award Badge”.







MOTIVATION:

He is a modest and quiet member that for no other reason than loyalty to the Yard, helped us without expecting anything in return. Not only did he finance our webs domain upon its creation, but he has now, AGAIN, without being asked to do so, payed for it again! So thanks to his generosity we can enjoy having our own web The-Yard-Collective.com [link]

A LINK TO HIS BLOG:

WE THANK YOU THOMAS! :iconhandshakeplz:

More exciting news about one of our dedicated fellow Admins Scott Alexander a.k.a. Obsidian-Fox: 



:iconobsidian-fox: entered 3 images into a photography contest where the grand prize is a trip to Africa.  Uganda to be exact. 

HIS MOTIVATION:   I have always wanted to photograph in Africa, as early as I could remember.  Though, probably for different reasons when I was little (big fan of the jungle book and Tarzan)

YOU can help him win the contest: It's easy and only takes a few minutes of your time. 

Scott explains: 

To win the contest, I first have to be in the top 10 as chosen by ANYONE with a facebook account, then a panel of Canadian Photojournalists pick from those 10.

This is a call to all my readers to help out with a LIKE on three images.

The best part is, you don't need to sign up for anything or like any pages, and no one will EVER send you junk mail for doing this.

The images are"

YOU CAN VOTE UNTIL MAY 16TH TO GET SCOTT AS MANY LIKES AS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE THREE PHOTO'S THAT PUT HIM INTO THE FINALS.

Note: IF YOU 'VOTE' PLEASE LET HIM KNOW BY WRITING A COMMENT AT HIS JOURNAL

Scott: 
"If you're able to SHARE the photos amongst your friends on FB, That would be even more amazing, but not at all required."

On behalf of Scott: 
Thank you, to those of you who vote, it means a lot to him, as this is, and has been for some time, a dream of his.
