Week-long Photo Assignment IV
Seriously? Has it seriously been OVER A YEAR since my last photo assignment?! Well, it's time to dust off those cameras. Dust off the creative parts of your brains too, just make sure to do it gently. Brain matter is squishy.
Last time, I underestimated your ability to embrace a creative challenge. Then I saw what you guys came up with, and I did a little dance of joy. I've been known to do that on occasion, break into dance at seemingly random times (though it's never actually random, to me). One might say I have Happy Feet.
Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is NOT to take foot-fetish photos. It is to take a photo that is a literal representation of a movie title. Yes, it's similar to the last one, but that was a year ago! Quit living in the past! The assignments are due on 11:59 p.m. EDT on Sunday, October 28. "The 28th? Omar, that's like 11 days! That's so generous!" I know! But flattery is not scoring you any points, in this game.
I don't like to seem like I'm trying to coerce people into participating in these assignments, but let's just say that a very reliable source told me that some big dude named Bruno is thinking about slashing your car's tires on the 29th if you don't submit a photo. (And if you don't have a car, I heard he's going to cut the soles off your shoes.) Seriously though, it's all in the name of fun. And if you don't want to participate, that's fine. There have been several people in the past who have been longtime readers named Jasmine who have enjoyed the results of each assignment without ever participating, and I totally don't hold it against her them. But I won't name any names.

Update - I forgot to note how to submit photos, which may be considered helpful. Please email them to me at omar at omarphillips dot net.

Your second toe is longer than your first? That means you're a genius like me, my friend. Cosmo magazine says so.
I said:
No! My toes go in order from tallest (big toe) to shortest (pinky toe)!

Oh, I'll be participating the hell out of this competition, and I guarantee a finish of no lower than 5th this time!
Bones just picked up his ball and said, "Let's do this!"

Elastic : I have the same wise toes. We truly are toe sisters.
Whee for Omar's photo assignments. I'm getting right on it!
(And let me just say, if it was suddenly a foot fetish photo competition, I'd rock the house down with my trademark rainbow socks. (ha)BOO(b)yah!)
Lia said:
I just want to know if those smileys are actually inked on your feet, or if it's photoshop.
I said:
It was pen and ink, Lia. I promise I only used photoshop to crop it.

Das Boot? No...
Nobody said:
The only thing that could truly make your feet happy, is if they didn't have to watch that movie. Did they?
jasmine said:
i have submitted! "a dime a dozen" a carton of eggs with a ten cent sticker on them.
shame on you for not remembering such inspiring creativity!
Sarah said:
I'll participate if I can come up with something clever, even though the picture of your feet is almost enough to make me not come back here ever.
Please don't take it personally, I hate ALL feet... except mine. Mine are cute. Otherwise, feet make me gag.

"Assignment"
Is that like "homework"?
If I don't do this "assignment", will I get an "F" in "Blog Participation"?
