Weekend Photo Assignment Review
Thanks to those who participated in the first ever weekend photo assignment! 10 people submitted 15 kick-ass photos of fun stuff.
Unfortunatley, that means approximately 6,494,637,708 people did NOT participate. Even though participation was completely voluntary, I was admittedly disappointed in a few of you who did not submit anything (you know who you are). Luckily, you'll have a chance to redeem yourself in a few weeks when the next weekend photo assignment is announced.
For those of you who did participate, you will each be receiving one of these:

My idea of fun hanging out with my brother, especially when we're by the ocean. I love this photo of him waiting for the waves to come in at Santa Monica Beach. Not that he'd ever let himself get drenched of course. He waits...waits...waits...then runs screaming towards me like Dem from a bucket of toothless, iron-wielding worms. (by Nadia)

Ok so fun to me is the mountains...trekking that is... (by A)
It's a game of Two on Two pitting Ninja Steve and Bones against their arch rivals Ninja Dave and Captain Jack. It's kind of a heated rivalry around here as it happens to be the only one. It was a tightly contested battle for sure. I tried to capture a few of the more notable moments. In the first picture, Steve is signaling to Bones that he wants the oop. He faked Dave out badly and caught a beautiful pass from Bones for the reverse dunk. Dave was pretty pissed about that, so he had Captain Jack set a pick, which Steve alertly called out to Bones, but the Captain is kind of a dirty player. As you can see on the close up, he totally fouled Bones, but no one heard anything because he doesn't have any vocal chords. One of the negatives to being an undead skeleton is the inability to speak. Dave then proceeded to do his best Vince Carter impersonation. After that it was the Captain's turn to show off his game. He has a peg leg, so he has no hops at all. His game is all about the hook shot. And yes, we all found it ironic too given the hook on his left arm. It's amazing how coordinated he is even when he's half loaded with rum. Don't ask him to put the bottle down though, because he'll most likely break it on your head. Bones got the last laugh though because with the game tied at 10-10, he drained a 2 pointed for the win with one of the sickest jump shots I've ever seen. Apparently one of the benefits of being undead is an amazing vertical. We figure it's because he's all bones and just doesn't weigh that much. Whatever, the Captain was helpless and Dave and Steve just watched in awe.

This is me! Taken by me! Having fun on Lake Lure in North Carolina! Do all of the exclamation points make it more fun? I hope so! (by Sarah)

Fun to read AND fun to remove from their organized state on the shelf and then throw back in recklessly! (by Omar)

The basketball game had me riveted on the edge of my seat. Go Bones!

Just in case it wasn’t clear, I think playing with dolls is fun. I’m 28 years old right now and I still plan on playing with dolls until well into my 80’s. And yes, fully poseable action figures rock. (it’s the question I know you all wanted to ask but were afraid to.)

I'm still amazed by the shot of Bones in mid air. I've seen a lot of action shots, but that's SI material. Or at least, ESPN the magazine.

That basketball game was awesome. That pirate looks exactly like Karl Malone, pegleg and all.
(Yes, I'm from Utah.)

Some very good entries, lovely arty bowling shot there, pretty scenery and all... but in this non-contest, Jon is a clear winner. That photo essay rocks.

Great photos!
RaJ! I can almost see myself driving on that road! And great beach photo, Nadia, I love beaches...
Omar, yours almost gave me a cardiac arrest :p Why should the books be removed from their organized state and then photographed?! Oh wait who was doing the reading?

The Wife said:
I am in agreement with A. It's very disturbing to see those books removed from the organized state in which they were put. 5 minutes ago.
