As some of you may know, Jase has left 365 :( However, I have last week's list of participants, plus I think (hope!!) all the updates, along with some basic instructions from Jase... so, with some trepidation, I will happily take over setting up the weekly pairings for the challenge...
Hopefully I've got this figured out correctly, and below you will find the pairings for Week 7 of the Get Pushed Challenge.
If I have mucked something up, or you have not participated so far but want to get involved, then please post to this thread ONLY please... please do NOT post to other threads, photo's etc. etc.
For those who are new, here is a run down of the guidelines....
1. Find your partner from the list below.
2. Browse through the last couple of months of photo's to get a feel for what they shoot and don't shoot etc.
3. Post an introduction on their last photo, and also issue the challenge you are setting.
4. You have until midnight next Sunday September 9th, to take and post your shot or shot's.
5. When posting your shot tag it Get-Pushed-7, tag your challenger in the comments and write a short description about what the challenge was, what you found hard about it etc.
6. Maybe the challenger could then critique the photo as well
Tomorrow (Monday) the winner of Week 5 (that would be moi - altho' this has nothing to do with hosting the challenge) will pick 5 finalists for a vote, this can be based purely on their fav photos, who they felt best met the challenge etc, etc.
oh ~ sorry to see Jase gone ~ thanks for hosting :-) ... I will be able to complete this one, but the 2 weeks after 8 & 9 I will sit out as I am away for 2 weeks, and not sure if I will get internet signal
@northy@dhostick thank you! I won't do it for a while. Last week was my first try, it was fun, but I think I prefer the freedom of shooting what I feel like shooting.
Geez...I was gone for ten days, and people have dropped from here like flies. What has made Jase decided to leave? And thanks for choosing to host. It seems like quite an undertaking, but I know you'll do well!
@tryeveryday yeah... i wondered... about the @todd ... i went by the list jase sent me and i noticed that that name was in last week's push pair-up as well - and i didn't see anything in the thread correcting it... but when i search the name, that's the only place it comes up... you could post to @ltodd and ask her :)
@cmc1200 i dunno... things have changed a fair bit here over the last few months - i guess everything has it's time? as for hosting this - i've got huge shoes to fill, but i'm known for being a pushy broad in real life so i expect i'll figure it out :)
@alisonp ok - i'll flag you as removed for next week and the following... will try to remember to add you back in, but you might want to tag me with a reminder just in case!
I just wish all these guys who "leave" wouldn't delete their albums; Jase has some awesome stuff I like to visit from time to time; especially in the film department. I know most of it is on Flickr, but I don't Flickr much... Oh well... @northy
Thank you so much for taking this over! Unfortunately, my partner @socalgirl seems to have left as well. The page can't be found. Maybe take her off the list for next week?
Hi, thank you for taking over the running of this, I'm sure it's quite involved! I've just been looking through my partners photos, gracej, but I see she's only posted once in the last two weeks, and her last photo comment is her challenger setting a challenge for week 6. I feel a bit bad issuing another challenge right underneath it if she's not got time to get on here!
Do you have anyone else that needs a partner, and if grace does come back on, I'm more than willing to set her a challenge too.
Gosh, he left? So sudden! I wonder what happened? It's great that you're picking this up for him - it's a great idea and really gets me thinking outside the box (even though I didn't participate last week - ran out of time! Oops!! :/ )
@mariaswaisland hey Maria... @myhrhelper mentioned (just below your post) that @djepie wanted to participate... maybe check to see if they are looking for a partner for this week?
@traumerlein, my apologies for whatever confusion seems to be happening with my page...I hope we have an opportunity to pair up in a future challenge :-( I can assure you I am very much alive on the 365, and still actively participating in the challenges.
@socalgal oh nooooo! i'm so sorry for the mix up Patty... i've put you back on the list for next week... do you have a partner for this week? if not, i can partner up with you... i don't mind pushing (and being pushed!) twice..
@northy - No worries, I think my page had a hiccup in it or something...I'd hate to burden you with a second partner so if there's a single floating around I'm happy to pair up with them...otherwise, if you honestly feel you can manage two challenges this week, I'd love to co-partner with you. :-) If not, I can sit this one out and rejoin next weeks' rounds.
@northy as long as its not another selfie... lol!!! I'd do the same with your album although I already know your work and know that finding something new for you will be quite a challenge in itself! Looking forward to partnering with you this week :-)
Now that my kids will be back in school, I think I'd like a go at this challenge (as she bites her nails nervously). Please add me to the list when convenient - thanks!
Thanks, northy! If you would, please update - on the list it shows me as cmuir1967. I'll take those extra years off, gladly, but it should be cmuir1963
Hmmm - I haven't received a challenge from my partner @izzymathie yet this week. Can either sit this week out, or if there is still anyone out there who hasn't found a partner then let me know!
@katharinehubbard Hi Katherine... You can see if @tctime (posted above) wants to start this week... Just be warned - Izzy might surface and you could end up pushed twice :)
Sorry to see Jase go. Thanks for taking the reins on this @northy ! I love that in the process of pushing and getting pushed, you get a chance to 'meet' new 365-ers as well!
@northy, the person I was paired with @buttercup hasn't posted since July, so you may as well scrub her from the list. I will wait until next week unless someone else pops up in the meantime...
Please include me in the list for next week or I'll still take a push this week if someone wants to pair. Thanks for taking this on. Looks like a lot of work!
@michellegaynor ~ sounds good! I think the basic rules are just to check out each others photos and challenge or 'push' them to do something a little different from their standard fare.
@northy Poor thing... You've got a lot of work cut out for you on this site. Thanks for hosting the challenge. It's a stimulating one in many ways... glad it didn't die out :)
@asutherland1964 hmmm... ok - just went to cross buttercup off the list and realized that actually you are paired with @bluebell who seems to be current as far as i can tell... have you posted to her? she's got three albums and maybe you were looking at her 365#1 instead of 365#2?
@jjefferies yeah... i'm kinda confused too... haven't heard back from asutherland yet... hopefully this will get sorted within the next 12 hours... you could always post to him directly and ask where he's at... he might see that more quickly than the tag here...
@socalgal - the problem lies in that they're looking for "socalgirl" when it should be "socalgal". nothing wrong with your page, my friend who "loves" selfies. hahaha!
@northy - thank you for taking over. are you stressed yet?
@northy Oops, my bad, buttercup, bluebell...close but not close enough! I have contacted @bluebell, waiting to hear back! Apologies for the confusion I have created!!
Hello! I had connectivity issues last week and so was unable to participate in Week 6, but I'd like to participate in Week 7, if it's not too late and anyone needs a partner. Otherwise, I'll sign up for the next one. :-)
@northy
Sorry to be a pain, but is it possible for me to be ADDED Back onto the list for upcoming challenges? My school semester doesn't seem to be as demanding as I had anticipated.
Tweets ahoy!

@cmc1200 I wondered the same thing!!
@dhostick - i will pair you up with the next person who puts their name in... if no one does by tonight - i'll push you :)
Do you have anyone else that needs a partner, and if grace does come back on, I'm more than willing to set her a challenge too.
@djepie Jaap was left off the list and wanted to do these challenges.
I'm going to do this week's challenge and then I'm out. It's been fun, but also somewhat stressful.
Thanks!
I saw that you were partnered up with someone else already, but do want to continue with this challenge...@northy, is there someone without a partner?
@northy, please don't remove my name from the challenge list.
:)
agreed.
its like losing a favourite book of photos when people do that.
If there is no pair for me I shall just wait till next week.
@northy - thank you for taking over. are you stressed yet?
