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 :)
WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING FOR YOUR PARTNER, REMEMBER:
-- 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...
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, July 12th and 13th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday July 14th thru Sunday July 20th - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-104, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, July 21st - the winner of week 103 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-104
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.
thanx for doing all this every week. I'm good for this week, but will be gone for next week so I want to mention it now before I forget that I will need a temporary one week off the next go around. thank you :)
Hi. I'm in for this week but can you then take me out as we're on holiday for about 4 weeks. I will let you know when I'm around again. Thanks for all your work on this
@lorrainelouise hi Lorraine... You tell me you want to be added and I add you to the list to get paired up... If you want to play this week you can pair up with @linc - let me know
@not_left_handed hi Dawn... i've added you to the list to be paired up next week... for this week, there is still a good chance someone else will come along looking for a partner, so stay tuned
@northy@gbsphotos Northy. I have left a message with Geoff @gbsphotos but have not heard back. Also his last photo was 4th July. I hope you can pair me up with someone this week but if not never worry.
@linc hi Cheri... probably someone else will come along this week looking for a partner..
