If you do not get in touch with your partner by Monday, I will take your name off the list until you let me know that you are back and WILL be playing... this is not meant to be punitive - it is just intended to minimize disappointment for those who are playing consistently :)
-- if i left your name ON by mistake, left your name OFF by mistake, or made a MISTAKE in spelling your name, please let me know by responding to this thread and i'll fix things up...
-- if you are interested in joining this challenge, respond in this thread and i will add you to the list... if it's not too late in the week, you'll likely be able to play this week...
-- if you find you must bow out of the game after i've posted the list, please let me know ASAP in this thread, and please tag your partner... i will do my best to find a them a new partner...
-- if you don't get a challenge by late afternoon Monday, let me know in this thread... PLEASE do not suffer in silence! even if you're ok with not playing this week, the person paired with your partner next week may be very disappointed... letting me know about inactive players is the only way i can keep the list up-to-date...

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ!!!!!!
One of the key aspects of "get pushed" is that we get "pushed" out of our photographic comfort zones... this means that you need to find something that is a CHALLENGE for your partner...
Look thru the recent months of their project and come up with something they don't seem to have done, or have indicated struggling with... it could be a type of subject, a compositional technique, a particular camera setting, use of light, anything... as long as it is something they don't seem to have done, or done much of...
If you're paired with someone who appears very experienced and accomplished, give them a concept challenge - eg.: interpret a word (something a bit intangible like "silence", or "ambiguous"... not a thing like "animal" or "toy")...
Looking thru your partner's albums needn't take a lot of time... but it is very much appreciated when this effort is invested...
Explain what your challenge was when posting your shot. This helps the previous week's winner when they are choosing the week's finalists. And if someone is cruising the photos with a "get pushed" tag, they like to see what the challenge was when looking at your photo.
-- Saturday / Sunday Apr 18 and 19 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday Apr 20 thru Sunday Apr 26 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-143, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, April 27 - the winner of week 142 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
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.
6. Make sure to tag your shot for the challenge.... Get-Pushed-143
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.
I'm going to have to withdraw from this challenge. The new baby has been quite a handful and have been taking up my spare time and energy. Once baby is less active at night and I'm more rested, I can carry on with the 365 day project and this challenge.
@northy Hi. I think I may be ready to try this again - it has been a long time! I shall try it for a few weeks and see if its doable. So, please can you add me to the list!
Thanks
@northy I could give it a go. It's until Sunday 26th right? @neatz Anita, shall we pair up? I haven't done a get pushed for well over a year, so please be gentle with me! I shall look at your albums and see what I can come up with. Will post later on one of your shots
@dibzgreasley sounds good, I love your Danbo shots. I would like you to have any toys doing gymnastics. This is something I have been playing with myself and is a lot of fun. My daughter is a gymnast so I am very into the sport. Have fun.
@neatz Thanks, I am enjoying Danbo more as the month goes by.
Ok, I can give that a go, sounds doable before Sunday. Thanks for being gentle!
I've just been looking at your boards (the colour months look amazing by the way). I see you've been doing movement, motherhood for get pushed, lots of toy shots (incl your Danbo too!) and colour.
So I'm going to say, how about something black and white outside - street scene, people, landscape etc (but no toys)? Will that be OK for you?
Tweets ahoy!
