Photo Assignment V Review
Aaaand... time's up!
I thought this assignment might be a bit more challenging than the last, and for once, I was right. 30% of the photos submitted were accompanied by an email message either stating how lame the picture was, or saying how you think you can do better. I want to grab each of you by your collars, give you a small (but firm) shake, and say, "Don't you get it, man?! If you submit a photo that loosely follows the rules of the assignment within a couple of days of the deadline, you win!!" (dramatic pause) "You win!!" So if you were in that 30%, imagine that I just did that to you.
Also, several people also said they carried their cameras around with them all week and found no faces. If you really did bring your camera with you and you really did look for faces, then give yourself an "A" for effort. Actually, make that a B+. I'm not feeling that generous.
Click here to see the photos. (Javascript and Flash required, same as always.)
As always, thanks to everyone who submitted a photo. Also, thanks to NCS for the free advertising (that was free, right?). The results were great, and I even learned a few things. Most notably, I learned that I should carefully inspect any wood grain on anything I purchase. So thanks, Internet.

I think it's awesome that Omar actually ripped out a urinal just to get his photo... That's dedication... and arm strength. Color me impressed.

Aggghhh!! I can't believe I LOST! It should have been so easy, too. I just kept forgetting to take my camera out with me.
It is now safely in the car for the next assignment.
I promise not to be a slacker again!

The pictures are awesome! My favorites are the scary wood grain, the outlet, the missing urinal, and the surprised toilet!
Oh...and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :)

So since I was after the deadline...do I get an A or a B?
That wood grain was insane!
Happy Birthday Omar!

I liked the wood on the dresser. That was kinda freaky!

My favorite is Yvonne's rockface, but they were all really good.

Great job everyone. I am so impressed. I think the toilets were so fun. I think that's where I really laughed. That wood grain was amazing.

I couldn't participate in this one because I've been busy with a criminal damage suit recently. Can't say much about it, but there was this urinal that wasn't flushing right, so I ripped it off the wall with my bare hands.
Anyhow, I'll check the entries now. I hope they're good!

I give S the Best and Worst Award. Best for the toilet pic, just because toilets are funny. And worst for the knee picture. Knees are just gross. Nobody has nice knees, no-body!
Syar said:
Annie, I so agree.
I heart everyones! Jonathan's were really cool.
JeanKnee said:
Oh no, I was too late. I enjoyed seeing all the faces very much, thank you.
No Cool Story said:
I still love it!!
Now with more "!!s"
S said:
About the knee can't help what the good Lord gave me and it could have been worse like.........say a tongue or foot! Or both together!
S said:
ps are toilets really that nice?
k I am over it! really!
Nobody said:
Why thank you Annie.

NCS has asked me to collect her advertising fees.
That'll be 500 x 3 weeks divided by 4 add the decimal...
Lisa said:
Is it just me, or are you finding faces everywhere now?
No Cool Story said:
So...like...what's up?

I will never buy wood furniture again. It's all IKEA from now on.
