Round Robin Challenge: Really Old

Hi, Robins! This next one is a topic that's been on my mind a lot lately. The Challenge for Saturday, May 31st is

Really Old

 Old books. Old people. Antique furniture. Historic buildings. If it's old, it counts - with one stipulation. Old is relative, of course, but let's not stretch the definition too much. I'm not talking about month-old milk, or your first cell phone. Let's stick to people, places and things that are at least 60 years old - and a century old is better!

Here are the guidelines:

1. Grab your camera and bring us one or more pictures of anything or anyone over 60 years old. Older is better, so let's try for subjects that have lasted since the early 1900s or earlier.

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

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, May 31st, 2014, 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: Funny Stuff

Hi, Robins! The next Challenge is based more on a certain feeling  than on whether it's taken inside or outside, or what is in the frame. The topic for Saturday, May 17th is

It could be something to do with the Funnies, as people used to call comic strips in the newspaper. It could be something to do with cartoons, or a comedian you saw in concert, or merchandise from a funny movie. It could be a lolcat or a loldog, or a family member making a face, or a whimsical piece of public art. If it has anything to do with humor, I want to see it!

1. Grab your camera and bring us one or more pictures of anything funny, or at least humor-adjacent.

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

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, May 17th, 2014, 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.

Round Robin Challenge: May Flowers

Hi, Robins! By the time we get to the next Challenge date, Saturday, May 3rd, Spring will be half over in the Northern hemisphere. The time is right for our next Challenge topic:

May Flowers

It's a terrible old joke, but I can't stop myself from quoting it here:

Q: If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?
A: Pilgrims.

Or, as I always insisted, June bugs.

On May 3rd, show us the very latest flowers you can find, with or without the bugs. The guidelines are a little different for this one:

1. Grab your camera and bring us one or more pictures of any kind of flowers. This time, I'm looking for the very latest photos, if you can manage it. If you must dig into your archives, try for some flowers you actually photographed last May, or the May before.

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

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, May 3rd, 2014, 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: Spring Time

Hi, Robins! The next Challenge is adapted from one of Carly's suggestions. The topic for Saturday, April 19th is

Carly described her original suggestion this way: "Spring. Anything from a slinky to a beautiful flower garden."

What we'd like to see this time out is anything that involves any kind of spring, whether it's that season between Winter and Summer, or the coil of metal inside an old pocket watch. It could even be an animal springing after its prey, or a hero springing into action! Whatever it is, we want to see it!

In case you're just joining us, here are the guidelines to participate:

1. Grab your camera and bring us one or more pictures involving some kind of spring. Archived
photos or videos 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) or video(s).

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, April 19, 2014, 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: Dress Up

Hi, Robins! The next Challenge takes us into the world of textiles - and maybe into other worlds entirely. The topic for Saturday, April 5th is

 Dress Up 

My particular inspiration here, as you may guess from the photo, is costumes from SF cosplay. But the topic is much broader than that. Any kind of costume counts, any dress, tux and tails, doll clothes, anything worn by anything or anyone as long as it's out of the ordinary - fancy, elegant, vintage, stylish or just plain weird!

The usual guidelines apply:

1. Grab your camera and bring us one or more pictures of someone or something in fancy dress (costumes or formal wear or anything along those lines). Archived photos or videos 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) or video(s).

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, April 5, 2014, 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: Being Green

Hi, Robins! The next Challenge is in honor of the coming equinox, but don't let that throw you!  The topic for Saturday, March 22nd is

Being Green

As Kermit the Frog reminds us, "Green is the color of Spring," but it's much more than that. Green is associated with plants and some animals, with U.S. currency and St. Patrick's Day, with ecological sustainability and the emotions envy and jealousy. For this Challenge, feel free to photograph anything green - but if it illustrates some larger concept of green-ness, so much the better!

The usual guidelines apply:

1. Grab your camera and bring us one or more pictures of something green (or on the green, or in the green, or green-minded, or...). Archived photos or videos 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) or video(s).

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, March 22, 2014, 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!
