********************************************************************
You know the drill... The week's pairings are below...
-- if I've left you off the list when you should be on (or left you on when you should be off), please post to this thread ONLY and i will get it fixed... (it becomes awfully challenging to keep track when you post to other threads)
-- If you've never played before but want to join up, please post to this thread as well...
-- Saturday / Sunday, Feb 23 & 24 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday Feb 25 thru Sunday Mar 3 - take a picture in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-32, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, Mar 4 - winner of week 31 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
NOTE:
If you are paired up with someone who seems to have gone MIA (does not post a challenge to you by Tuesday at midnight GMT), please let me know by responding to this thread...
*************************************************************************
How to play:
A. 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.
B. To 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-32
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...
C. 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.
@northy Almost done with my first year, and I've never asked to be included in this challenge. Can't finish without giving it a try, so please include me next time you have an opening. Thanks!
@jcarrollphoto hi Jim... you'll be added to the list for next week, but almost certainly someone else will come along in next day or two looking for a partner so you'll likely end up being able to play this week :)
Hi northy darling :) Jim can take my spot as I have been extraordinarily busy at work lately. I'll let you know when I'm less busy and can jump back in :) @jcarrollphoto
@nikolinadimitrova oh no! so sorry about that Nikolina... altho', she does seem to show up periodically so maybe she still intends to participate? in any event, if anyone else turns up looking for a partner i'll pair you up with them...
@northy I don't seem to be having much luck with partners at the moment as my one for this week hasn't got in touch either. I'm happy to pair up with @nikolinadimitrova if you want.
@northy Hey Northy, can you take me off the list again please? life if being far too lifey at the moment and im feeling a bit headless chicken like so i think its time to step back a little, thanks for your dedication to this challenge :)
@northy Uh oh! I totally spaced it this week, and apparently so did my partner. Oops!!
How 'bout I start again in 3 weeks as I have company for a bit and probably wouldn't be able to commit to a challenge anyway. I'll check back in then. Many thanks for all your efforts here. Great job :-D
@jcarrollphoto Jim - how bout you pair up with @pizzaboy as @kbalychev needs to bow out for now
