Round Robin Challenge: Threads

Hello Robins :)

It's time again for a new challenge!

Save The Date! Saturday, April 6th, 2013, and the subject is THREADS!

This time I want you to grab your cameras and show me the THREADS in your life! Are you hanging by a THREAD? Does your pet enjoy playing with stray THREADS on your sweaters? Do you have a THREAD collection? Do you find a needle and THREAD photogenically? Do you have a difficult time, like I do, THREADing a needle? Maybe you would like to throw open your closet door, or walk into your closet, and show us all the THREADS of your lives! It's all good, but if you really like the subject of this Round Robin Challenge, THREADS, don't forget to R.S.V.P. in the comment THREAD.

But first there are some challenge guidelines to remember...


1. Please post your blog entry for the challenge only on the challenge date! In this case, Saturday, April 6th, 2013! It's not a race, and I will not be visiting your post prior to the challenge date, so please DO NOT POST EARLY!

2. If you will be joining us, please leave your information in the comment thread for this challenge in the following manner...

Your Name
The Name Of Your Blog
The Address Of Your Blog

We need your full information each time you join us!

3. Please include a link back to this challenge post, so your readers can play along! The more the merrier!

4. I will be posting a participation list at or around midnight (Eastern Time) on April 6th, 2013. If you will be joining us, please R.S.V.P no later than midnight, so I can include you on the list. If you decide to participate on the day of the challenge, no worries, just leave your information as usual and I will update the list as soon as I can.

*Please be sure to let me know if this is the first time you are participating, so I can give you a proper welcome on the day of the challenge!

*It's not mandatory that you visit the other Robins, but the spirit of the challenges is to meet new folks who share our fondness for photography, and it's good to encourage others in their creativity!

Okie doke... I will see you back here in 2 weeks! I can't wait to see what you come up with for the challenge!

Round Robin Challenge: Gates

Hi Everyone :)

It's nice to be back hosting the Round Robin Challenges! I am looking forward to the next 3 months! Okay, for this outing, I thought I would get things off with a subject familiar to all of us... Gates!

Please grab your cameras and show us the Gates in your life! Garden Gates. Your Gateway computer. The Gate at your place of employment. The Gate between winter and spring. You could include a pet door as a Gate. Or maybe even a horse in the starting Gate at the races! If it's a Gate, you are all set! Ideally, I would love to see more than one interpretation of the subject, but as always the interpretation of the subject is entirely up to you!



Save The Date: Saturday March 23rd, 2013!

As always, there are some guidelines to follow...

1. Please post your blog entry for the challenge only on the challenge date! In this case, March 23rd! It's not a race, and I will not be visiting your post prior to the challenge date, so please DO NOT POST EARLY!

2. If you will be joining us, please leave your information in the comment thread for this challenge in the following manner...

A Brief Pause in the Proceedings

Hi, Folks!

You probably noticed that I did not post a new Challenge topic this past Sunday. No, the Round Robin Photo Challenges are not shutting down, so don't give up on us. But I do need a little break. I have been embroiled in a series of personal crises lately, culminating with my dad almost dying this past weekend. (His pulse got below 30 even with a temporary pacemaker.) Between my new responsibilities with my dad, the illness and death of my dog Pepper, and the challenges of working three part time jobs at once, I've been stressed, depressed and generally overwhelmed.

But don't worry that the Round Robin Photo Challenges will fall apart because I'm facing very different challenges of my own. Help is at hand! Our old friend and co-founder of the RRPC, Carly, will be taking over posting the Challenges for the next three months. Her first challenge date will be Saturday March 9th, and she will keep it going through June 8th. She has lots of ideas for themes, so I look forward to posting alongside you - but just as a participant. I'm hoping that by the time June 8th comes around, my life will have settled down a bit, and I'll be refreshed and ready to go. Thanks for your participation and your understanding, and keep on being photographers!

Round Robin Challenge: Give It Up!

Hi, Robins! This next one is inspired by something millions of Christians (particularly Roman Catholics and Episcopalians) attempt to do this time of year, in the 40-days-plus-Sundays following Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras).The Round Robin Challenge for Saturday, February 23rd is

Give It Up!

As you may know, I gave up high carbohydrate foods (such as pancakes!) nearly two years ago, with very few lapses since then. Other people have given up smoking, or Facebook, or video games, or more serious addictive substances or activities. We forego certain pleasures temporarily for spiritual purposes, or we attempt to give them up permanently (or at least, one day at a time) for health, financial, ethical or interpersonal reasons. For this Challenge, show us something you've given up at some time in your life, or would like to give up, or wish someone else would give up. You know the drill:

1. Grab your camera or go through your files for one or more photographs of something that you've given up at one time or another, or would like to give up, or would like someone else to give up.

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, February 23rd, 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!

I have a defensive driving class in the morning and my dad is in intensive care at St. Joseph's Hospital here in town, so I won't be around much this weekend. I'll try to check in when I can!

A Quick Note

Hi, Robins!

As you may have gathered, I've had a difficult week and a busy day. I'm not quite ready to post the next Challenge, but never fear!  I'll be back shortly, probably Monday evening, to announce the next topic and to visit your entries from this weekend. Stay tuned!

Round Robin Challenge: Frozen

Hi, Robins! Thanks to all who participated in our most recent Challenge. It was great to see all those older photos that meant so much to so many people. This next one will be a bit different, but I hope you'll give it a shot (of the camera shutter, of course!). The Round Robin Photo Challenge for Saturday, February 9th is

Frozen

Water frozen in a pond, or in an ice cube tray. Snow. Ice cream. Icicles hanging off a tree, or a rooftop. A creature frozen with fear. A Slurpee. You get the idea. If it's frozen, let's see it!

You know the drill:

1. Grab your camera or go through your files for one or more photographs of something that's frozen.

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, February 9th, 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: Long Ago, Far Away

Hi, Robins! Our next topic is inspired by Martha, whose Flashback Friday meme is all about scanning and posting old photos. The Round Robin Photo Challenge for Saturday, January 26th is

Long Ago, Far Away

Here is your chance to get all nostalgic, photographically! Maybe it's a photo you took with your first, cheap camera when you were 12 years old. Maybe it's a photo you just took of a person, place or thing from your childhood. Maybe it's something from longer ago or farther away than that: a castle or cathedral you photographed on a trip overseas, a dinosaur skeleton, or a distant constellation of stars, the light from which has taken years to reach us. If it was long ago or far away or both, it counts! All I ask is that it be a photo you took yourself, whether it was 40 years ago or five minutes ago.

You know the drill:

1. Grab your camera or go through your files for one or more photographs you took of something from long ago or far away.

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, January 26th, 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!
