OK, here's the deal: in an attempt to encourage participation, the SI
Dictator has decided to announce multiple mandates with a "capture
date" so you can shoot for multiple mandates, and take more time for
the harder mandates. With that in mind, here's the next three
mandates, all of which have a capture date starting today:

Lines and Intersections: self explanatory. Due March 7th, 2010.

F8 and be there: while any phot shot at F8 is acceptable, the hope is
that you'll submit something journalistic, a photo where you were in
the right place at the right time and just fired at will. Due April
11th, 2010

Facescape: a merciless shot of a person's face in high detail. No
animals, building facades, just human beings, please! The human face
is a source of endless interest, so find someone interesting, shoot
them, and show us the results! Due May 16th, 2010.

The shoot-in is located here:

The rulez are here:

I'll have sample shots and galleries posted within a day or two.
