Photo Assignment Review
I admit it. I doubted you.
Then you were like, "doubt me? Take THAT, (expletive)!"
The only way I could have been happier with the results of this photo assignment is if it could have resulted in some sort of financial gain for me. I thought the photos were fantastic, and the participation rate was great as well. Those who sent photos, pat yourselves on the back for a job well done. Take tomorrow afternoon off for your efforts. Tell your boss I said it's OK.

RaJ, I'll admit to being a bit puzzled about yours. I feel like it should be something I know, yet I can't figure it out.

omar, maybe if you "put your ear to the ground," you'll figure it out...
me likey the mr. potato head ear, the zit, the horses,and the eggs (i had a diffeent one for "dime a dozen," but my crappy camera-phone couldn't focus tight enough.)
okay, i liked them all!
Viking said:
At least this time I have an excuse for not submitting a photo. My camera is dead!
Not that it matters. Those were all way better than mine would have been!

great entries! everyone is so creative.
i'll bet it'll be a cold day in hell when omar doubts us again, eh?

Okay, I didn't know that you could post captions. I thought this was more of a guessing game kind of thing. No matter, since my little unimaginative mind didn't produce anything to difficult to figure out.
Pictures that made me and my ilk chuckle include "Omar On A Roll", Becky's "Can O Worms", and X's "Crap In A Bag." Honorable Mention for most work put into an Omar photo assignment goes to Jon for his "Spidey Finally Breaks Through The Glass Ceiling."
Only one duplicate amongst all the entries too. I feel proud to be blogging in the company of all you fine people. You guys are the SHIZ!

How can you ever doubt us Omar? We never doubt you. :-)
I love all the entries. Silandara's balls to the wall got me chuckling tho, and Elastic's expansive entries were very cool. Jon's is just...gravity-defying.
and a mr potato head ear cameo! awesome.

I just want to be sure everyone knows that no animals were harmed during the shooting of my photo.

I forgot that my kids also like lianne's gratuitous panty shot! Bu then their main reading staple is the "Captain Underpants" series right now, so that's to be expected.

I've been asked why, with two daughters, I used my son's boxer briefs for the picture.
1. They are not x-rated as are my younger daughter's panties.
2. They were handy.
3. Likely they were already in a not.
I was so very impressed with everyone's entries! Omar, let's do it again. (Fab flash posting, BTW)
Glo said:
Awesome photo work, everyone!
For me, though, it has proven that I've truly grown stupid (no one here shocked, I'm sure). I think I only barely speak english. Next time - do one in Spanish and I'm sure I'll rock the house o' digital film.

OK, they were all awesome photos, but I'm really partial to "balls to the wall" and "I'm on a roll." Way to go, y'all! :)

Heh. A fine, fun activity; yet another great omarphillips.net exclusive offering. Thanks Omar!
I said:
Becky, I tried putting my ear to the ground, but it didn't help me figure it out.
Jon, a few people have voiced concern over whether or not you broke the no-photoshop rule. Personally, I don't doubt your resourcefulness, and I'm working under the assumption that it's an elaborate fastening system involving electrical tape, grappling hooks, and epoxy that kept the leg up there. Feel free to add/subtract any details.

Oddly enough, I’m not offended that people think I used photoshop. In fact, I am flattered that they think I’m that good. However, I’m simply not that good. The truth is much worse. That Spiderman leg is from a piñata, and it weighs almost nothing. It is held up by 3 thumb tacks. Normally a magician never reveals his secrets, but in this case, I’ll make the reveal. That leg, believe it or not, has been attached to the ceiling for several years now. And only this photo assignment provided the proper setting to make it even remotely necessary.
Believe me, I really wanted to break the no photoshop rule, but I have too much respect for OP.net rules.
Lia said:
Fantastic! I still feel bad about not submitting, but let's face it - I don't know if I could come up with anything that good.
I like them all!

I missed this one. There's always next time! I have a plethora of misunderstood photos, too. Very arty. Very creative. Beyond indubitable.
