Alright, I'm going to give it to MiguelATF. I enjoyed the context, and it reminds me of similar things happening here, businesses all trying to find a way to adapt. Thanks for the entries, and for humoring me, folks. -K

One more day, folks.

Start Date: Jun 23, 2020 End Date: Jul 7, 2020...

Awww nice! Ok let me think.

Ok, here's the rare photo of mine someone actually paid me for. Maybe that makes it good? I'm terrible at this. The context, for those that might want it: This is midway through a 6 day bike trip between Pittsburgh and Washington DC via rail trails. We're exiting a very long tunnel here, one of...

I thought I'd just take a look at one year, pulled up a highlight reel folder from 2016, and there are like 14 that I can't even decide between. Much less 2017, 18, 19, 20, ... 15, 14... ye gods. One of you do it for me please. Someone magically go through my folders and tell me what's...

I have ....... too many.

(first two are great!)

I'm notoriously bad at judging my own stuff. So who knows. But here are the three that jumped on quick review... Exactly 1 year ago today: wife giving birth to a little girl, as a surrogate for a French family who couldn't concieve or carry a child. This is the moment my wife handed her over...

Well cool.

Oh very cool! I may have to dig for an old one, lacking proper gear to go shoot something new.

Apologies - work was nuts. I'm ready now. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to see these images presented, each framed with such care and dignity. As I said before, there aren't "winners" in an exercise like this. I got what I asked for, and I was asking for a set of images that would be...

Excellent work, folks. Still have today to get something in. I'll wrap it up tomorrow afternoon (afternoon my time, Pacific US).

Whooooa. That's amazing.

.....the idea that I'm going to pick one of these posts and declare it a "winner" of some kind is deeply misleading. I hope you all know that. These are amazing. Thank you.

This is slightly different this time. Your entry this time will be a photo AND a caption explaining why it means something to you, and you're being judged on the effect of both of them together. The whole point of taking all these pics we take is to produce an image that moves people. Many...

Oh no way! Thank you! Hmmmmm.... what to do with my pile of prize money...

Exactly. I watched and photographed for years as my wife raced, and LOVED it. Now, she's 7+ months pregnant, so I got my excuse to suit up.

Cross started with the Belgians, it was their winter workout routine. Take their summer road racing bikes, fit skinny little knobby tires on, go ride through grass and mud. Then they worked in stairs and barriers you have to carry your bike over. We love it here in the states because it's...

What I did this weekend... my first cyclocross race. This is a team mate, navigating the extensive and treacherous corn maze. KBRX9246P by gordopuggy, on Flickr

Excellent theme!

You can do it. Ponder on a theme, and roll it out.

Honorable Mentions: Davect01 – I’m a sucker for clean composition, uncluttered backgrounds, and a strong subject. You hit all of those well here, and I love her expression. Rayvonn – In this case the subject matter is so engaging that it pulls the photo way up the list. The way she’s...

Ok, today's the day. I'll take a look at everything here in a few hours. Good work, folks.

Awesome shots. And that's a Brompton folding bike up there - we have 2, and love them.

That got a chuckle

Ladies and Gents… the theme of the next Photo Challenge will be BALANCE. This should provide plenty of opportunities for interpretations – both literal and metaphorical – so that everyone can find something strong on their camera cards / negatives and chuck it in here. Take it as an opportunity...

Awww COOL! I'm beyond flattered. About that shot: We biked from Pittsburgh to DC, took 6 days, averaged about 60 miles a day. My daughter (you had no prayer determining gender from that shot, fear not) rode behind me on a 1-wheeled trail-a-bike, helping when she felt like it, while I pedaled...

Family selfie, courtesy of 10 second timer, propped on camera bag, somewhere between Pittsburgh and Washington DC... KBRX2349 by gordopuggy, on Flickr

Thanks Miguel. There's not a lot done that photo - one of the reasons I lov the rokinon 12 f2 so much is that, wide open, it vignettes and flares and shoves a ton of character into images.

Cat converters?

Casey – A very crisply executed product shot, and a strong tug at my childhood (in the suburbs of Atlanta, actually), spent reading the Service Merchandise catalog every December, lusting after all the diving and calculator watches. I remember circling everything I wanted, as though Santa would...

Alright, I'm going to ruminate and respond. Thanks for entering, folks.

I'll let this run til tomorrow about noon my time (eastern US), and then I'll wrap it up. Go shoot something!

Yep that is pretty.

Off to a great start.

Allllrighty, folks. For this 27th go round I'd like you to make me want something... anything. A cold beer, a hot sandwich, a fast car, a slow stroll through the countryside. Your goal is to make me say "oh THAT would be nice" as loudly as possible. I'll give this one a good week at least, and...

Ack - I have been away too much and I missed this at first. Also, I never win anything. Ok, I'm on it. And many thanks, all, that's a lovely boost to my ego.

It looks reflective, but ... I have no idea what it is.

It alllmost looks like my braided steel-lined brake cables, but not quite. Or a candle wick.

Motocamping deep in the woods of Vermont some years ago, alone by a campfire, nothing to do but drink beer and play with an X100 with frozen fingers. DSCF9487 by gordopuggy, on Flickr

You could spin the cassette around in the air so quickly on a pencil...

Watch face?

Woo hoo! Second place is incredibly flattering. Thanks, Sue.

This is probably the cleanest, most translatable image I've ever made. And it's SOOC, which is nice. Strawberry Wine by gordopuggy, on Flickr
