Count me in for sure.

Here is my take on how I THINK it should work though:

The winner of the contest picks the subject for the next one. (Spock will start if off)

The subject will be specific. If the topic is cars, then a specific car must be picked. If it's portraits, then it has to be the same person.
The twp photographers then have ONE WEEK to shoot that subject in any location at any time in any lighting. I don't think the spots should be the same. I think a big part of being a well-rounded photographer is knowing how to pick a location for a shoot that will compliment the subject they are shooting. Mandating a location for both limits the creative potential of both shooters.
As long as they are both creating images of the same subject, that's all that should matter. In the professional field, they would be the ones getting the clients the better shots.

As for post processing, it should be open to any and all methods, programs, styles, etc. Being a photographer in today's digital age means that your processing abilities are just as important as your initial shooting abilities. The end result, regardless of how it is reached, is your final product, and that's what matters. If we were shooting for a newspaper, then staying true to the original would matter, but we're not. Shooting a car is about making the car look good, in any way you deem fit.

Anyway, someone contact me if I'm picked to throw down.
