Photo Competition: Deadline

Get clicking!

When I wrote the instructions for the 23 Things, I had no idea how people would be interacting with the tasks - and it's become clear that many of you are not able to jump straight into each Week's "Thing" at 9am on a Monday morning.

Of course that's absolutely fine - so I'm going to let the photo competition run until the end of Monday 22 April... hopefully that will give everyone plenty of time to put up a photo or two and (this is important!) post it in the 23 Things Southampton Flickr group, with the appropriate tag.

I know I haven't added any competition photos myself - I'll sort that out very soon... I've had a lot of work on, too :)

What You Need To Do

• Join Flickr
• Make "23 Things Soton" one of your contacts
• I'll then reciprocate, and invite you to the "23 Things Southampton" group
• You must then accept the invitation
• You can then add photos to the group - just remember to apply the relevant tag for the competition category you're entering

I apologise that there are quite a few steps - I'm afraid that's just how this process works.

Photography Competition

Take photo, win prize

If you read the instructions for the Flickr "thing" this week, you'll see that I'm running a photography competition. Well, thanks to my wonderful wife, I've now got the prizes sorted out.

From memory, there are three categories for you to submit photos to the competition, and each category winner will get a copy of their winning image in a 4" x 6" frame.

And the overall winner will get in addition the satisfaction of having been selected as the overall winner ;)

Celebration!

Let's face it, it's not always fun & games at work. I guess that's why they call it "work". But every now and then things work out just nicely - after years of struggling against barriers and "no entry" signs, you suddenly find that you're able to do what you've been wanting to do for so long. Those that you've felt have been holding you back, are all of a sudden giving you exactly the tools you need and want.

I'm sure it won't last - it can't, it just can't - so I'm making the most of it while I can. Oh, this feels soooooo good! And you know what? I can't even tell you what it is yet - you'll just have to be patient! So in the meantime, enjoy this wonderful little video...

Me? I'm heading into the weekend with a smile on my face, not worrying about whatever emails I get next week telling me I don't have quite the amount of freedom I think I have right now. But I don't care - that's for next week :)
