As always, I've done my darnedest to make the corrections, additions and deletions from last week, but if I have once again mucked something up, or you have not participated so far but want to get involved, then please post to this thread ONLY... please do NOT post to other threads, photo's etc...
Also, if you are paired up with someone who seems to have gone MIA, please let me know sooner rather than later (altho' give them a day or two - remember, not everyone visits the site daily) and i will see about getting you another partner pdq...
AND, if you know you will be away or won't have the time to participate, please let me know BEFORE the pairings are posted (generally on Saturday)... that way I can take you off the list and avoid the confusion and disappointment that ensues when part of a pair goes MIA (see note above)! Remember, it's always easy to get added back on the list for a following week :)
****************************************
A Word About Repeat Partners
I use various approaches for randomizing the pairings, but there is no way i can guarantee that you won't at some point end up paired with the same person...
if anyone has any ideas on how to prevent this, i'd be happy to hear them... at the moment, the only thing i can think of is to compare each pairing to all the previous week's pairings... and while i love you guys lots, i don't love you quite that much ;D
anyhoo... so far managing the switcharoos hasn't been too awful so i am ok to keep doing that... but please be patient on this, 'k? :)

Get Pushed 13 Dates
This weeks's challenge runs from Monday October 15th thru to Sunday October 21st... please tag your photos get-pushed-13...
***************************************
the Guidelines
1. Find your partner from the list below.
2. Browse through the last couple of months of photos 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 October 21st, to take and post your shot or shots.
5. When posting your shot tag it Get-Pushed-13, 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
7. On Monday October 22nd the winner of the previous week 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.
@lauriehiggins it is lots of fun :). To get added, you just tell me you want to get added... Chances are someone will come along over next two days in search of a partner and we'll get you paired up!
@northy - I'd love to get added to the list. I could use a challenge to get me motivated again. I think it's so awesome of you to take the time to do this!
@northy - thank you for arranging again this week. After this week can you take me off the list as I just don't seem to get the time to fulfil the challenge :( x
@summerfield shoot! sorry :( i have no idea what might have happened... can you wait thru today to see if anyone else comes along? if not, you can pair up with me (i deliberately left myself off to cover off any last minute additions without partners).... we could always come up with a uniquely downtown toronto challenge ;p
I'll join ... I may need more than a push, but every journey starts with a first step! OH, but I have no history to view ... so, mystique rules the day.
@lauriehiggins@northy thanks Northy! I'm fine with the pairing, let me know if you are on, Laurie! It's a first for me, looks like it might be for you too? I'll browse your album and post a challenge later today.
@northy It is with great sadness that I need to ask to be pulled from the get pushed challenges starting next week. I have not been able do my part in these challenges for about 3 weeks, and to be fair to future challenges i need to withdraw for the time being. This makes me a very sad panda.
@northy Thank you, Northy! @mellow I'm happy with the pairing too. And yes, this is a first for me, so I'm pretty excited. I'll do the same with your albulm. Do we post the challenge on each other's page or here? Sorry for tne newbie questions.
Hi Northy,
I have so enjoyed doing these push challenges for the last few weeks but I am just too busy to keep participating in them. So from next week could you please take me off the list :( Oh and also I did add one more image for you on Friday... :)
@northy Hi Northy, thanks for keeping the get-pushed challenge going.
Please can you remove me from the list for week 14 because I will be away that week and don't think that i will have internet access. Will message you again when I want to be included again. Thanks!
@northy I think I'm going to be swamped for the next few weeks with work and outside commitments, so could you please remove me from the challenge for the time being? I'll write again when I'm back to full swing. Thanks!!
@northy
@melissapike @tinmaddog - why don't you pair up this week?
and @mellow and @lauriehiggins do you two want to pair up for this coming week?
