Amandel has it then. I know archive entry #2 is a photo of the completed crossword, are we supposed to send it in?
ETA: I posted all the answers in the comments of http://amateurphotographyclub.blogspot.com/2011/05/puzzle-and-portrait.html
I dunno if I have to send in a picture of it or not.

Hi all! Timothy O'Sullivan whose dob/dod is now listed on APC was a student of Mathew Brady. Guess we'll learn more soon.

A little bit of OOG here, stating the obvious:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The game is linked to a college professor and is also probably run by college students/people involved with the same college. I'd be unsurprised if finals proved to be a little more intensive than what was initially thought. I'd expect a little bit of a pick up next week when finals end. Every thing (including the board) has come to a screeching halt.
Back IG:
30 people submitted 2 photos each. I wouldn't be surprised if it's taking them longer than expected to judge and comment on all of the photos. It also took us a little while to solve our puzzle and someone just posted to the blog about O'Sullivan, maybe it's taking a bit longer because of our lag?

True. True.
Its also easy to under estimate the influx of people showing interest in your work and trying to manage it all. Here's to hoping they cope. It's a promising concept.

Speak of the devil. Two new posts. They are starting the review of the photos and posting them one by one. I'm excited.
However, sadly, Frank is still missing. Expect clues to his whereabouts.

Got an email from Frank via the APC email address containing a "ruined.doc" which appears as one blank page...
Yet when you change the font color and use highlighting the attached msg from him becomes visible. (sneaky Frank!)
ETA : "I SEE THOU WISH URN" shouted anagram & may lead to the Archive #4 photo. Sent it to APC & guess we'll see soon.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The anagram is "White House Ruins", a photo from T.H. O'Sullivan of "Anasazi ruins called the White House in Arizona". Picture and Source Link

Hello, I am a little slow in getting started, but I have been playing (started late, got my assignment #1 in late and also got the same e-mail just this morning.)

Good job on assignment 1 Amandel.
Also good catch on the letter and anagram. I figured it was something to do with the lettering but you got to it before me.

Frank, if you're reading this blog, I left you a note that will soon be important. I think you will know where to find it.
The POINT of each day is to notice the SUNSET.

I wonder if this is a direction on where to find the note or where Emma and Frank are going to meet very soon. Intriguing.
