Default Grumble, grumble...

There is a little time left before this week's assignment closes and I've begun collecting together the images that I think are contenders. I have noticed that a lot of pictures, including some very good ones, don't contain anything that looks like the magic tag "assignment: strangers" and so I'm passing over those.

I probably shouldn't be grumbling, as it makes the job of judging easier (there are also plenty of good pictures which do include that phrase) but here is a chance to go back and double check that you included it.

Default Assignment - strangers

Familiar Stranger

My grown up son - my familiar stranger, no longer know what goes on in his head, nor should I. Wish he'd tidy his room though

assignment: strangers

I didn't get chance to speak to this lady as she was driving the car infront as we went round the safari park, so I can't tell you her story at all. I didn't even notice straight away that it was a contender until I spotted her face in the wing mirror. A lucky shot from that point of view. Just a shame the other car is in the background.

Strangers

Cheers

Tim

Default my Stranger assignment

Assignment: my entry for the Strangers mini contest:

I ran into this man while walking down the 16th Street Mall in Lodo. The irony of his sign caught my attention first....the fact that Ronnie made his "living" from tips he got when people asked to take a pic of him and his "movie star dog," Dolly.

This is a photo that I took while in Rockport, MA. He is painting the scene that you see here.

Also, how do I make the picture smaller? Does anyone know? Sorry for my Flickr incompetence!

Here is another shot that I took while in Rockport. His name is Zack (the dog) I didn't get the baby's name (He had his pacifier in, he couldn’t really talk)
