-- 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 June 25 and 26 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday June 27 thru Sunday July 3 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-205 and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, July 4 - the winner of week 204 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-205
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, sorry, I have barely been on this site in past couple of weeks… Probably best if I sit it out for a little bit. Hope that's OK? Don't want to let people down because I'm away so much!
@northy Hi Northy! I think I should probably sit out for a couple weeks. My daughter-in-law has been sick for about a month now and I've been doing a lot of traveling back and forth and covering for her, and currently here for a two-week stay. (And all the while trying to keep my boss thinking I'm still a valuable employee!) I'm thinking there's probably enough on my plate right this minute. Will you take me off the list temporarily, and I'll let you know when I can come back and play again? Thanks so much!
@stephanies hi Stephanie... i've added you to the list to be paired up next week... if you want to play this week, how about checking in with @aecasey as her partner had to bow out...
