hair "goop" how precise.
i knew it was yours.
i like your perspective in this one. good luck.

Nicely sharp..

Don't forget the ice for the beer!

Haha nice list!

Nice job (on the list and the photo), and you can stock up on stuff cheap 'cos you shop at ALDI.

Oh and Josh, he might not need ice, most of us own refigerators, hehe

looks kinda staged up to me!

well craigers i could take a picture of the receipt if you'd like. How on earth does this looked staged up!?

Sorry, i forgot everyone takes their camera shopping, my bad!

hehehe... sometimes I take mine to Wal-Mart! Saves from buying stuff just for one shot!

WHAT'S ALDI???

Was just thinking it would be funny if there was "tampons" added to this list... then I would have thought the wife/girlfriend sent you out shopping! hehehe

Well craigers when a photographer needs to go grocery shopping and it just so happens that there is a contest that includes shopping lists then yes the possibility exists that that photographer will take his camera along, weird.

I'm sorry I tried to think out the box a bit and make an original entry, your right it probably would be better to have all the entries look the same, would you be happy if i put my list on a table took a snapshot of it straight down with no perspective and no consideration to lighting?

But tell you what my friend right below the comments here is a little box that says "raise red flag" feel free to check it, but be sure to leave a reason

NAAAA, It's all good, me thinks you protest too much,...and you know how that goes!
all I got to say about that pix is;....Take 26,.....light ,..camera,... action!

I agree with Craigers, all other entries are on point, this one is out of the box we were all put in by Jawshoewhah who suggested it, and defended it! Going on location with camera and list is staging and defiantly not how the other entries perceived this contest .!

It's not staged if he actually shopped. I say it's fine.

I suppose that's why the latest two entries also went on location, and the other "13" of us all assumed locations were staged! Fair?
Bad theme explanation from the start !

Andrewm, nothing in the description said on location makes it staged, if you misinterpreted the guidelines that isn't our fault. I see that you and your friend are new here and I know that the way things work around here can be funny at times but you may want to refrain from attacking an author's entry in the future, that is why we have the redflag system, so you can bring it to the mods attention without creating an unneeded stir.

I think 'Clicky's' the word Dude. And it takes two to tango,...best to lead by example with us New-bees Josh!! But we'll try a be more sensitive towards you and your posse in the future,

I think "Cliquey" is the word... dude. But thank you for demonstrating my point, the comment section is here to give constructive criticism not to try and act as a moderator or to have petty arguments. In the future you may want to stick to the red flag system. Perhaps check out the commenting section here:

http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/

Are we perhaps a bit clicuey, maybe, but keep in mind that we have been here for a long time and we are friends, so when someone new comes in and rocks the boat yes friends may stick together. That being said however, if Josh felt this was off topic he would certainly say so (he has before), it doesn't matter who I am, he isn't a puppet who just agrees with things for the hell of it.

I may disagree with your comment and the way you went about it but will I hold that against you, no. I'll continue to go about as I have for a long time now. This is a community where sometimes tempers get riled but all in all its a fun place to share and learn. Why don't we try and keep it that way?

in the defense of the photographers out there that live with a camera strapped to their side.

DUDE! I ALWAYS go shopping with my camera in my posession.
i go everywhere with my camera. or a camera of one sort or another. My droid phone has one great camera (for a cell phone anyway), and my point and shoot is always in the side pocket...my canon fits into the central pocket of my purse..so..yeah...

camera is always ready and willing to snap off an amazing shot. or less than amazing. which ever the case may be... the point is..my camera is closer to me than just about anything.

um... will someone answer my question from years back on this entry?

WHAT'S ALDI???

Lol Amdanda, sorry

ALDI is a discount supermarket that sells off brand food. Not really a one stop store but I always start out my grocery shopping days there, they have good prices on meats and frozen foods and....... canned goods

Hmmmmm, thanks, I was wondering about that myself, thought it was another camera thing i don't know about!

Yaaaaawn! Potato, Patato, Clicky, Cliquey, Dude, Dude-ett...........lets move on already!

Congrats for your first place, Adam!

Just wanted you to know I was very happy I saw that you won this! Well deserved :

NEVER THROW AWAY A LIST THAT HAS BEER ON IT! It's an ongoing need! lol Cool shot btw!

nice and interesting photograph of something really boring. well done.

Congrats for your second place!

wooow.. thx this is my best place for now!

Amazing shot :P I love the contrast and no colors

I like it, nice DOF and clarity. This list is also kinda mysterious =)

You make a good point. It could be but I assure you its not. Look at it this way. You see the creases in the folds of paper that are really badly falling apart? Well, that's because I keep this list in my back pocket of all weekly photography contests going on, so when I go out in the field shooting, I'll have the contest themes on my mind and know what I'm looking for. I've reused the same piece of paper for the last few weeks, picking a new page to write the contest themes on so that's why it looks so beat up.

Proof enough it's not staged?

Yup - that explanation works for me - seeing that I do the same

these are about the only lists I make anymore too I keep mine with my purse and then I use a sticky on the dashboard of my van in case I see anything when I'm out that can be entered into contests.

Congrats for your third place, Joshua!

It's so nice that you were able to keep these, beautiful.

gotta love a daddy who gets all involved in that kinda stuff!

Good perspective. Good luck.
