Round Robin Challenge: Family

Hi, Robins! As we head into the holiday season, there will be lots of opportunities for families to do things together, whether it's eating a turkey dinner, attending a sporting event, Christmas shopping or just hanging out at home. That's the inspiration for the next Challenge. The topic for Saturday, November 30th is

 Family

You can photograph one member of your own family, or a whole family reunion. Or maybe it's someone else's family. (But try not to invade their privacy!)  It can even be something that represents family to you. Whatever it is, we want to see it! All I ask is that you take the photo(s) yourself. No shots of Great Uncle Arthur as photographed by your grandmother in 1947!

You know how this works, right?

1. Grab your camera and bring us one or more pictures of family, or representing family. Archived photos are okay as long as you took them yourself.

2. RSVP in the comments below with your name and the name and URL of the place you plan to post your photo(s).

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, Saturday, November 30th, post the results on any blog, social media site or online photo album. Don't forget to link back to here in your entry, so your readers can check out the other Robins' contributions.

4. Please visit the other Robins' entries, and comment if so moved. The list of entries will be posted at the bottom of this entry starting around midnight MST on the Challenge date, and updated through the day.

That's all there is to it! Have fun, and go be photographers!

Round Robin Challenge: Family

We're coming to a time of year when one subject is on the minds of many people, more than at any other time of year. The Round Robin topic for Saturday, December 3rd is

Family

For those of us who celebrate the various November and December holidays, this is a time for family reunions and get-togethers - but not always. Some people gather only with their immediate family, and others with a family of choice, none of whom may be actually related. And if no family is available, this is the time of year when we tend to miss them the most.

So that's your Challenge: show us a family, or members of a family. Your family would be best, but any family will do: your friend's family, your surrogate family, or even a family of strangers. It can even be a picture of something that symbolizes the concept of family. Just show us something - someone - that means family to you!

Here are the usual rules, in brief:

1. Please RSVP in the comments below with your name, blog name and blog URL. Let me know if you're new to the Challenge, or using a new blog for it.

2. Please wait for Saturday, December 3rd to post your entry. A day or two late is okay but not ideal.

3. Please link back to this blog in your entry.

4. Please visit the other participating blogs if you can, and leave a comment if so moved. A list of links will be posted around midnight MST on the Challenge date;

That's it! Go be photographers!
