Get Pushed Week 52 - Monday July 15 to Sunday July 21

[☠northy]

I'm baaaaaaaa-aaaack! Well - sort of - i'm going away to a cottage for a few days, but at least i will have my laptop with me, and should have fairly reliable internet access there! Who knew the Grand Canyon would be an internet deadzone??

What with being away and all, i am really hoping that i've got the list properly updated with who's playing and who isn't - if i've messed anything up, please let me know and i will see about getting things sorted asap...

PS - happy birthday to Get Pushed on 365!!!

***********************************************************
Week 52 Dates

-- Saturday / Sunday, July 13th and 14th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday July 15th thru Sunday July 21st - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-52, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, July 22nd - the winner of week 51 will pick 5 finalists for a vote

*******************************************************************************

IF YOU ARE PAIRED UP WITH SOMEONE WHO IS MIA:
(hasn't posted in a couple weeks or does not post a challenge to you by Tuesday at midnight GMT), then:

(1) please let me know by responding to this thread... AND

(2) PLEASE TAG THE PERSON IN YOUR RESPONSE... this does 2 things... (1) it gives a little nudge to your partner and (2) it helps me because then i don't have to search thru my spreadsheet to see who you are partnered with before going to my master list spreadsheet to note that they are MIA :)

*************************************************************************

IF YOU NEED TO BOW OUT AFTER THE PAIRINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED please let me know in this thread AND please tag your partner... that way they know not to peruse your album, and if someone else pops up looking for a partner before i have a chance to check in, they will be able to sort things out themselves :)

*************************************************************************
How to play:

TO ISSUE A CHALLENGE

1. Find your partner from the list below and click on their name to get to their profile

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.


RESPOND TO A CHALLENGE

4. You have until midnight next Sunday, to take and post your shot or shots.

5. When posting your shot write a short description about who challenged you, what the challenge was, what you found hard about it etc. You really should do this because if nothing else, it helps the previous week's winner when they have to choose this week's finalists... besides, if someone is cruising the photos with a "get pushed" tag, they like to see what the challenge was when looking at your photo :)

6. Make sure to tag your shot for the challenge.... Get-Pushed-52

7. Tag your challenger in a COMMENT (not just your write-up). 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...


ALSO

8. it is nice to visit the photo that was made in response to your challenge and offer some comments and maybe even some constructive criticism...

9. On the Monday after the challenge is over, 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.

Have fun and be careful out there!

[Gillian]

oh dear, may I jump in at this late stage?
I feel I need a challenge or two or three ....

Edit: no problem ... will hold over until next week .... when I hope to feel braver anyway ;)

[☠northy]

@kwiksilver sure! how about you take my place and partner up with @so_lo_webb ? i do like to play, but will be limited in what i can do this coming week...

[Gillian]

replies /edits crossed! I'll hold off until next week ;)
Thanks, tho, obvsiouly :L)

[Mac]

I won't have Internet this week, so can you please match @degarvey with someone else? Thanks!

[Tineke]

@momsta has mot posted a photo since 25th of june, I post a comment, but shall I change to some else?

[☠northy]

@tstb she posted elsewhere that she's back and good to go... But I'll chk in again tonight to confirm

[☠northy]

@degarvey - in transit just now, but will chk in again tonight to get you sorted..

[Lois Webb]

A bit confused who I am with this week. @northy or @kwiksilver

[☠northy]

@so_lo_webb yeah... Sorry bout that... Technically you're with me... But I have to sort out a couple others and I may put you with one of them if we're still short a person for pairing... I'll sort it all tonight - hope its not too much of a confusion for you...

[Lois Webb]

okie dokie. No worries

[Janet]

Sorry to mess it up Northy, but I'm not going to get much internet for the next two weeks so can I drop out please?

[Tineke]

@northy I get het conformation, and we have contact thanks.

[☠northy]

@riverlandphotos ok - will do... do you definitely want back in next week? or do you want to let me know when you are ready?

[☠northy]

@degarvey - as your partner has had to drop out for this week, you can pair up with @ikamera - whose partner, @janturnbull , also had to drop out...

@so_lo_webb - Lois, you and i will stay partnered up... i will check out your albums and give you a push in a little while :)

[De]

Sounds like a plan. Thanks!

[Laura J.]

Sorry, I am out of country for the rest of July - August, can you please pull me from the list. I let my partner know, so if possible, please reassign them.
Thanks!

[Donna]

@northy I don't know if you still have someone not paired up for the week... as @helixconcepts says above, she's notified me that she won't be around this week... otherwise, I'll just wait for next week's pairings :) thanks!

[☠northy]

@seahawker hi Donna... so far, everyone is paired up... but there's still a chance someone else may come along looking for a partner...

[Donna]

@northy thanks :) in the event that one doesn't, I'll go ahead and start channeling a split personality!

[☠northy]

@seahawker that would actually make for a cool challenge - diptych self portrait showing two different sides of you ;p

[Donna]

@northy that would be a challenge (and I will keep that in mind just in case)! perhaps someone else will discover that their partner is awol in the next day or so, though!

[colie (Nichole Stewart)]

@northy Just wanted to give you a heads up that it doesn't look like sweet @cazla has posted since the end of June. I left a message and I am fine to sit out or play or wait another day to see if she turns up, but just thought I'd write it down while I'm thinking about it incase I lose track and forget.

[☠northy]

@colie tx Colie... you could always pair up with @seahawker this week if @cazla has gone mia....

[colie (Nichole Stewart)]

@northy sounds good:) If @seahawker is out a partner I will pair up with her for sure, although split personality sounds intriguing!!!! If cazla shows up I can just do 2???? Is that ok? It looks like she's been mia for a couple of weeks.

[☠northy]

@colie it's perfectly ok if you want to do two... if you have a split personality, this may in fact work out perfectly ;p

[Donna]

@northy @colie split personalities all around! If @cazla doesn't show up soon, then Colie and I will pair up for some push fun :)

[Helen]

@northy please will you take me off the next list for the next 4 weeks. thanks

[☠northy]

@elsbels will do... are you playing this week? or do i need to find another partner for @jocasta ?

[Helen]

@northy yes - playing this week! thanks

[Jacki]

@northy just letting you know, I posted my challenge to @nicholaeastwood but I haven't received a challenge from her yet.

[Jacki]

@nicolaeastwood spelled it wrong in the last post. I want to make sure she gets tagged

[Vijay]

@northy so if I am interested in participating in Get Pushed in the future should I just notify you on this thread. I am new to this - so advance apologies of how to actually indicate your interest, is alraedy discussed. I am still very much a novice but it definitely seems interesting!!

[dh (delena)]

@gwhit123 @northy I haven't received a challenge for this week yet so I'll just sit this one out. I will also be away for the next two weeks but please could you slot me back in for get pushed 55? I will remind you nearer the time if you like.

[☠northy]

@friend2303 hi Vijay... just let me know if you want to be added to the list for weekly pairings and i will add you in! simple as that :)

@dh hi DH, yeah, it would be better if you let me know when you're ready to play again... i can make a note that you want to rejoin week 55, but there's been times when folks have said that and then ended up forgetting, being delayed in getting back, or having to much to do on their return... so i find it best if people just let me know they're ready... :)

[Lena]

I think @manic is MIA.. He hasn't posted since 18th June.

[☠northy]

@cameraholic oh no... sorry bout that... seems a fair bit of this going on :(

[m9f9l]

I think my partner, @rawrs1009 is missing too. Lena, @cameraholic wanna partner up for these last few days?

[Lena]

Yes, of course! :)

[❀ Lynn]

@northy ....going to be quite busy for the next little while....would like to pull out for a few weeks....thanks for doing such an awesome job. Hiatus from Week 53 until things are settled down some.

[Tracy]

Hello there! I'm quite new, and can you please add me in for future challenges? Thanks!

[Paul Wright]

Northy Could I Please Rejoin The Challenge Again Please? Ty
