-- some folks don't post much on the weekends, post in clumps (ie: 3 or 4 days of shots in one go) or are at a point in their project when they only post a few times a week... soooo - if your partner doesn't get back to you right away, or appears to be a few days behind, please give it a day or so before asking for a new partner...
-- HOWEVER, if you're partner hasn't posted in over a week and hasn't responded to their last challenge, please let me know... even if you are ok with taking the week off, letting me know helps me keep the list up to date and makes things easier for pairings the following week...
IF YOU NEED TO BOW OUT AFTER THE PAIRINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED please let me know asap 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 :)
DID I MUCK SOMETHING UP?
if i left you off by mistake (or left you in by mistake!), misspelt your name or otherwise mucked things up, please let me know...
-- Saturday / Sunday, April 12th and 13th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday April 14th thru Sunday April 20th - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-91, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, April 14th - the winner of week 90 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
*************************************************************************
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-91
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.
Hi - First, thank you Northy for all your hard work organising this every week - really appreciate it. My partner for this week @jagoto hasn't uploaded since March 16th. Is there anyone else here looking for a partner for this week?
@northy@pennyp
ladies, I'd like to apologize but I need to step down from this challenge. It's been very difficult for me to work it into my work schedule lately and I'm not being fair to my partners right now.
Penny, I hope you find a wonderful partner this week! :-)
Northy - please remove me from the challenge for now. Thanks for all your hard work on this, I've always appreciated it! :-D
@debseibly hi Deborah... i've added you to the list to get paired up next week... for this week, how about you pair up with @pennyp as her partner has had to bow out...
@northy hi Northy, i'm afraid I won't be able to take part this week, I'm in the Kruger Park until this coming Saturday.
Only have internet on my phone, sorry guys.
@northy I saw @semjaja was off on safari, have a great time! Dont worry about finding me another partner, I've also got a busy week so happy to sit this week out. :)
@northy - Hi Northy! Can you take me off the list again for a while..... just not finding time to enter fully into the spirit at the moment. Thanks for all your continued hard work with this, you must be a saint!
@northy I have had very understanding partners lately but as I am very rarely finding the time to post I am going to give in to the "busyness" of life that is keeping me away from photography. Please take me off the get pushed challenges for the time being. ( and yes you are a saint for organizing this each week and still keeping up with your project). @stephan_haay my apologies.
Hi Northy. Could you take me off the list from next week, week
92. Will be back but need a break for a bit. Thanks v much for all your work pulling this together each week.
@northy, yes, I'll let you know when to put me back in the mix, thanks. That way I won't get a partner wondering why he or she isn't hearing from me. :)
@jocasta - how about you pair up with @brigette
ladies, I'd like to apologize but I need to step down from this challenge. It's been very difficult for me to work it into my work schedule lately and I'm not being fair to my partners right now.
