Hopefully I've got the list right and everyone who should be on it is, and everyone who should not be on it, isn't...
however... if you missed the housekeeping check-in, or if despite my efforts, I've somehow left you off the list when you should be on (or left you on when you should be off), please post to this thread ONLY and i will get it fixed...
If you've never played before but want to join up, please post to this thread as well...
If you are paired up with someone who seems to have gone MIA (does not post a challenge to you by Tuesday at midnight GMT), please let me know...
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! 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? :)

A Word about Repeat or Impossible Push Challenges
because this challenge has been going for close to 5 months now, it can be hard to figure out what challenges may have previously been given to your partner in the past... I would suggest not over-thinking this... issue a challenge based on what you see in the last couple of months... if your partner has already done this challenge, they can let you know and you can come up with another one...
also, if you end up with a challenge that is simply not possible for you (eg: requires a DSLR but you only have a p&s, requires you to shoot a skyscraper when the tallest building in your area is 4 or 5 stories), then I think it should be ok to let your partner know and ask for a different challenge... remember, you should be stretching your skills, trying something different, even something you are a little uncomfortable with... but i do not think this is intended to be mission impossible :)

Get Pushed 22 Dates
This weeks's challenge runs from Monday December 17th thru to Sunday December 23rd... please tag your photos get-pushed-22...
***************************************
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, to take and post your shot or shots.
5. When posting your shot
(a) Write a short description about who challenged you, what the challenge was, what you found hard about it etc.
(b) Tag it Get-Pushed-22, and
(c) Tag your challenger in the COMMENTS (not just your write-up)
PLEASE NOTE - you MUST tag your partner in a separate comment... tagging them in your write-up of your photo is not sufficient as it will not result in them getting a notification...
6. Maybe the challenger could then critique the photo as well
7. On Monday December 24th (yikes! Christmas Eve!!!) 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.
@summerfield no worries... not sure what your time is like these days... but i have none, and am hoping you will be gentle... and y'know, do unto others, and all ;p
You forgot me. :( I don't see myself on the list, I'm pretty sure I said I was in the next few weeks. Though I have been having trouble posting lately, so maybe it didn't go through. LOL
@sarie i'm so sorry Sarie... i can't seem to find where you posted! i'll definitely add you in for next week... for this week, can we give it until tomorrow to see if anyone else wants to be added in? if not, i can always give you a push...
Hi Northy, work, study and parenting have been getting the better of me lately and struggling to post so could you take me off the list. Will look at signing up in new year :-) Thank you.
Tweets ahoy!
