Round Robin Challenge: "Past Vs. Present" (for 12/27/06)

Greetings, Robins!
This Challenge Is Now Closed!
Here we are again with another Challenge, this time for a posting date of Wednesday, December 27th. The topic comes to us from Connie, author of Windswept - Connie's Country Life. I'll let her introduce it:

How about: Past vs Present.
One could show

• a photo of how they looked, say, 20 or so years ago and now...
• or maybe the house they lived in, then and now...
• or their garden, then and now.

The possibilities are left to the imagination.

I like this one a lot. Pretty much everyone has old photos of something or someone that's still important to us, still a part of our lives today. Normally we don't get to use these in the Round Robin, because the idea is to take new photos based on that week's theme. But this time, we get to do both: show off an old photo, and compare and contrast it with a brand new one of the same person, place or thing. Or maybe it's a completely different person, place or thing, say an ex-husband and the current one, or your old house versus your new apartment, or the recreation you lavished your time on when you were young and foolish, vs. what you spend time on now that we're all older (and probably still foolish). Neat, huh? I know I'm looking forward to it!

Okay, now try to stay awake, 'cause I'm going to run down Da Rules again, briefly!

• Do RSVP by leaving your first name, blog name and URL in a comment to this entry (see below for an example*)
• Don't post before Wednesday, December 27th. Patience, my friends!
• Do post on Wednesday, December 27th, any time from midnight to midnight (but if you must delay, up to Tuesday, January 2nd is okay)
• Don't completely forget to post your entry
• Do mention the Round Robin and the topic, and do link back to this blog (and if you include the linking list, that's even better!)

* Sample RSVP:

Yes, we wants to play, oh yes, my presciousss!

Smeagol
Gollum's Bog Blog

Questions? You know where to reach us:

* Karen: mavarin[at]aol.com
* Carly: ondinemonet[at]aol.com
* Steven: steven.emmett[at]gmail.com

That's it! So in the midst of your holiday revelries, dig out that one precious (or memorable, or evocative, or silly) photo from the past, and keep it in mind as you (yes, I have to say it) go be photographers!

Karen (with Carly and Steven)

Happy Holidays!

Round Robin Challenge: "Lights Of The Holidays"

Happy Holidays Robins... This challenge is now closed! Thanks for playing. :)

We have a brand new challenge to meet! Suzanne, author of the blog, "New Suzanne R's Life," has decided on a fun and timely challenge for us, especially during this festive season, "Lights of the Holidays." How fun! So, grab your camera's Robins, and snap those photos of sparkly Christmas trees, or the awesome lighting displays in yards in your hometown, or even the light in the eyes of someone you love, on Christmas morning. :) If you don't celebrate Christmas, no worries, you can also post photos of last year's lighting of the menorah for Hanukkah, it is the "Festival of the Lights," after all. :) And don't forget New Year's Eve fireworks as another possibility for this challenge. If it's a holiday light... it's in!

The date of this challenge will be, Wednesday, December 13th 2006. As always, you can post any time between the midnights of that day. If you haven't played along with us before, you can find the complete rules of play on the sidebar. Two important rules I want to remind you of...

1. DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRIES EARLY.
2. PLEASE FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE WHEN YOU R.S.V.P. for a challenge...

Your Name
The Full Name Of Your Blog
The Full URL (Address) Of Your Blog

Carly
Ellipsis... Suddenly Carly
http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com

****PLEASE ROBINS**** try to remember to post your intention to play as in the above example. We need to know your complete information so that we can prepare the Linking List for you. It helps us a lot if we don't have to track you down, and it also makes it easier for your fellow Robins to find your entries.

OK Guys & Gals, grab your cameras, and GO BE PHOTOGRAPHERS! :) Come back here on December 13th, and show off your "Lights Of The Holidays!"

Round Robin Challenge: In the Kitchen! (for 11/15/06)

We love it when a Robin does our work for us! Jessica, author of the photoblog QuickSilver Dreams, wrote a great introduction to the next Round Robin Photo Challenge topic, entries to be posted on November 15th. Take it away, Jessica!

I thought about a few different ideas when I tried to come up with a challenge, but taking into consideration the date of this Round Robin Challenge - Nov. 15 - and the upcoming holiday seasons, I know where I am going to be spending a good deal of my time over the next month....and I'm betting I'm not the only one. So the Round Robin Challenge for Nov. 15 is

In the Kitchen! This Challenge is now closed! Thanks for playing!

...and everyone is invited .. from haute cuisine to hotdog gourmet!

What goes on in your kitchen? Kids' dishwashing duty? Dad dishing out his famous five-alarm chili? Jeweled jars of homemade strawberry jam on the windowsill? Parties at your house always end up congregating around the kitchen sink? Moldy cheese in the fridge? 10 pies cooling on the counter for last year's Christmas feast, or that secret recipe stuffing that went so wonderfully with the perfect deep fried turkey last year at Thanksgiving (or the fire in the kitchen when the deep frying didn't work so well!)...

Share the unique and prized products and people, and the hilarious "whoops" moments, from your kitchen...

Jessica

We love this topic, and we're guessing you will, too. If you'd like to play along, just leave us an RSVP in the comments to this entry. It should look something like this:

Yes, I'll play!

http://notreal.blogspot.com

Then get ready to post your kitchen-centric photos on Wednesday, November 15th, any time between midnight and midnight. If you need to post late, you may do so anytime through Tuesday the 21st, but please don't post your entry before the 15th. Be sure to include a link to this entry, or better yet, a copy of the Linking List that will be posted here starting on Tuesday night. Questions? Ask us!

Carly (OndineMonet@AOL.com)
Steven (steven.emmett@gmail.com)
Karen (Mavarin@AOL.com)

In the meantime, as we like to say around here, go be photographers! Have fun, and we'll see you on the 15th!

Karen & Carly and Steven
