Firstly, I must apologise for my tardiness in kicking this new challenge off. Those who have followed my progress here (and at MU-43.COM) will be aware that I have significant health issues. These constrain my life in many ways, and the last week has been filled with medical appointments, fitting of household aids (grab rails and the like) as well as the normal exigencies of our abnormal lives in this time of COVID-19. I am yet to have my booster vaccine shot, due to unavoidable delays in having my first one. I hope this challenge finds you all well.
I would like to thank Miguel for his outstanding hosting of the previous challenge.
I have always been fascinated by the relationship between us humans and the things that we make. Not how we use them so much as how we relate to them. For example, changing a spark plug or otherwise maintaining a motor cycle would qualify, but one being ridden would not. I have spent much time thinking about what I would choose as a topic over this last week. Struggled with it, in fact, and how to get across the constraints of this challenge. Please ask for clarification if my topic doesn't make sense to you.
Here are two examples, 1) my friend cleaning his tuba, not playing it:

And 2) the printer and his press:

As you can see, the emphasis in my example shots is on the relationship between my friend and his musical instrument, rather than his use of it, and the printer and his press. While these are not crops, crops which satisfy the rules are acceptable There is a balance between the user and the used object, neither one being shown in whole, or being in a dominant position vis-a-vis the other.
So I am making it the 'theme' of this new Challenge - A photograph which conveys The Relationship between People and Things.
As always, any and all interpretations of the above are and will be welcomed, subject to the above clarification, whether they are new photos taken specifically for this Challenge, or older ones which you feel are good interpretations or illustrations. The Challenge will run throughout the entire month of January 2022 - and end at the end of the 10th day of the February, 2022.
As usual, this Challenge will consider originality, technical merit and artistic vision.
No change to the tried and trusted rules, which are as follows:
1. Either take pictures that match the nominated theme or select some from your portfolio. You must be the photographer that created the images in order to enter it.
2. Only one entry per challenge, please. If you want to withdraw an entry and replace it with another, that is OK, but you must make it clear in the post containing your replacement pictures that this is what you've done. You can add or change the title and add to the edit line to let everyone know.
3. The decision of the curator at the end of the challenge is final - don't give him/her a hard time about it: this is just a friendly photo challenge, after all!
4. The winner will assume the responsibility of curator for the next Challenge, and as soon as possible post a message in a new thread in the Cameraderie Photo Challenges forum, with details of the new theme. Don't forget - the opening message must include a copy of these instructions, which also double as the rules.
5. The curator cannot enter in his or her or their own challenge.
Hope you enjoy the challenge and I am looking forward to seeing your contributions.
