Round Robin Challenge: "Friendship"



Hello Robins :)

This Challenge is now closed. Thanks for playing!
We certainly had an awesome turnout for our anniversary challenge! A big thank you, goes to all the Robins who made it for our big event! :) You guys are great! So, are you now ready to be challenged yet again? Sure you are! :)

Teena, author of the blog, "It's all about me!" has chosen "Friendship" for our next challenge topic. Do you have a best friend in all the world? Take their photo, and share a little about what makes them so special to you. Do you love yellow roses? The yellow rose indicates friendship, arrange some in a vase, or photograph them right from your yard, and make that your entry. Maybe your best friend is of the four pawed variety... of course you can share a picture of your favorite pet, who just also happens to be your best friend. All you really need to play along with the Round Robin challenges is your camera, your imagination, and a blog or journal or website, where your entry can be viewed. :)

The posting date for this challenge will be Wednesday, May 2nd, and as always you can post your entry any time between the midnights of that day, or for up to one week after the posting date. To maximize your chances of being read, it's best if you try to post on the day of the challenge, as that is when most folks visit the participating journals/blogs, but if you know you will be posting late, you can indicate the date you will be posting, and we can make a note of it next to your name on the Linking List, on the day of the challenge. When you sign up to play, please use the following format...

(Example)
Carly
Ellipsis... Suddenly Carly
http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com

It helps us if we don't have to track you down, so please try to remember to leave us your information. :) Even if you have played before. :) Ok, that's about it for now, circle the date on your calendars, Wednesday, May 2nd. Now grab your cameras, and your best friends, and go be photographers!

Round Robin Anniversary Challenge: The Best of RRPC!



This challenge is now closed. Thanks for playing. :)

Happy, Anniversary, Robins!

As you may have guessed from the subject line, the Round Robin Photo Challenges are two years old this month! Yes, on the weekend of April 2nd, 2005, Carly and Karen challenged each other to photograph "A Special Part of Your Hometown." There were three of us for the next Challenge, "Tacky Hometown Souvenirs," and the whole thing just took off from there.

So, in honor of our two year anniversary, we're interrupting our usual rotation of topic suggestions for a special "Best of the Round Robin Photo Challenges" Challenge, with a posting date of Wednesday, April 18, 2007. Whether you've been a Robin for two years, two minutes or any length of time in between, this is your chance to play along with any past Challenge of your choice. Have you a photograph to share of "Mysterious Doorways," or would you prefer to show us some "Silly Animals?" Perhaps spring and Easter have you thinking about "New Life," "Flower Power" or all things "Holy." Have you "Secrets" to reveal or conceal in photographs, or would you rather display "Reflections", or tell us about "Who I Am in Black and White" or "The Animal Inside?" There are dozens of topics to choose from - four dozen, to be exact - and they're all on the sidebar. Pick one that appeals to you, and get ready to give us a blast from our collective past on Wednesday, April 18th. We're looking for new photos here, but to go with the old topics. Got it? Good!

As always, you have six days from the Challenge date to get your entry in, but it's best to post on the 18th (and no sooner, please!). In celebration of this fun thing we do together, Steven will be putting together a WooHoo slide show of a photo from each Robin's entry, right here on the RR blog. If you have more than one photo in your entry, and there's a particular one you want us to use or not use in the WooHoo, just let us know!

Oh, and we have some fun goodies to help us celebrate! Steven has turned our Round Robin birdie into four new "badges" you can display on your blog! Go here to grab them:

Okay, folks, here are the usual helpful hints:

1. Please RSVP in the comment thread of this entry, thus:

Yes, I'll be celebrating!

2. Please post your entry on Wednesday, April 18th. A few days later is okay, but do not post early!

3. Please include a link back here in your entry. If you want to also include the Linking List to your fellow Robins, that's even better!

That's it for now, Robins! We've been saying it for almost two years: go be photographers!
