A day in the life of dgrin! (an unofficial challenge)…#2

PaulThomasMcKee

Your city, county or state; Your office, yourself, your dog, your frog, your family, your significant other; A revolving door, a ferry boat, a train depot, a bus station, a flower, a light house, a wallet; Your car, your local bar, your guitar…you get the picture.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
I’m thinking we should do this every 5th month so that we cycle through the seasons.
<o:p></o:p>
Each photographer chooses their own theme (or no theme) and then shoots to that theme as much or as little as they like in one predetermined 24hr period. Make it as artsy or as mundane you want. Then, the “Big Reveal” will be one week later (to give folks time for sorting and processing). Each photographer will upload between 1 and 10 of their best images from the day in a single post to the “A day in the life of dgrin! - the Big Reveal” entry thread that I will start one week after the day of the shoot (one photographer – one post – up to 10 photos). Each person is on their honor to post photos from the designated 24hr period…exif links are optional. The official “A day in the life of dgrin! - the Big Reveal” entry thread will only be for photos – all the fun conversation/discussion can happen here in this thread. In order to keep up the suspense for the "Big Reveal", pre-posting of images to discussion threads for comment is discouraged.
<o:p></o:p>
Let’s set Saturday, September 20th as the “day” for the shoot and Saturday, September 27th as the day to begin the “Big Reveal”.
<o:p></o:p>
No prizes, no critiques, no harshing on anyone’s work (if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it!) – just a fun exercise.
<o:p></o:p>
What do you think? Sound like fun? Who’s in?

I'm down!!! Sounds like it could be really fun. Let's just hope it does not rain that day. Maybe start the thread on the 19th, to remind everyone that the 20th is the big day?

Last time we limited it to 10 and it seemed to work well.

Thanks PTM

I would really, really love to do this!

My only problem is that the weekend you're proposing is the busiest of the entire year for me. How ironic. :bash

Are you completely settled on that date?

Yep! and I'd love to see what the busiet day of your entire year looks like!

But hey, this is informal and meant to be fun - So if a day or two before or after works best for you then go for it! I'd hate to miss out on seeing your 'day' - just make 'em all from the same 24hr period.

I had such fun last time and it was so great to see everyone's shots of the day. I'm SOOOO in!!!

Thanks for organizing again, Paul.

I had to smile when I saw your post. I remember enjoying the last round. Matter of fact, this made me search for the last one......

I figured others may want to look back, so here's a link to A Day In The Life - round 1

JAG

I loved this idea the last time and I love it this time! I will mark the shoot day on my calander!

Tango

anyway, everyone remember this is a great way to share something of yourself, its to let us in on your world...dont hold back, do it!

Mr. 2H2O

I'm in! This sounds like it will be fun.

I love it! I'm in!

I've been anxiously awaiting round 2! I, too, had big plans for September 20 before this was even announced, and it will be so perfect for the challenge. Now fingers crossed I don't have another expensive car repair like I did last time...

Sounds good to me. I'm excited!!

The Curious Camel

I would love to join in. I wanted to do this before when you had it and couldn't. I'll give it my best shot.

Thanks Paul for doing this again.

Peace, gail

pyry

I'm in! This was a boatload of fun last time!

I find your worrying about the weather funny. This being southern Finland in September, we're not gonna have any weather. +10 C or so, overcast cloudy, hardly any wind - nothing going on.

Sounds like great fun and a good exercise.

For a newish guy, I'm in too. I attempted to do something like this a month ago to make a video with for my bog, but do to some problems it didn't happen. But I'd love a good reason to go for it again.

HoofClix

Let's do it!

Tdcompton

Oooh I hope I don't forget to do this (I am terribly forgetful!), what a great idea!!!!

agilepawz

I'm game! How fun.

ilbcnu

I'll give it a try, sounds fun!

Karrie McD

This was really fun last time, looking forward to it again. Just looked at my callendar and it is blank on the 20th...hmmm...endless options..........
