Ok, I would like some feedback from our readers on this post. I was thinking to myself how fun it would be to do some sort of contest. So, as I was mulling around ideas and thinking about different things that would be fun, I came up with a brilliant idea (or one that I thought was brilliant!! lol!)
So, it is a writers/photographers contest. I will randomly pick (out of those who enter) 10 participants (five photographers, 5 writers). I will then randomly match up each of these (1 writer with 1 photographer).
We will somehow get each pair connected to each other via email or whatever.
Now the challenge. Each pair will have until a certain time period (if I do this at the end of October, it will end the middle of December) to write the story and get pictures that correlate with the story (so, writers will write up the story, and the photographer will have to use some big creativity to get photos that actually work for the story (ei: if the story was talking about a tree, you wouldn't want to get a picture of a kitchen)). However, the writer will also have to keep in mind that the story will need to be kept relatively simple so that modern day pics will actually fit into the story (in other words, don't write about great historical places if the person who is photographing for you doesn't live any where near historical places).
We could even have prizes, perhaps... lol!
Does all of this make sense?? So, what do you think? I want to know if we would actually have enough people that would want to participate (I said 5 of each only if we ended up having lots of people enter.. we could do less, depending..)
If we end up needing one more author/photographer, perhaps Becca or I could fill in, but we will just see.
Any way, I would love to hear your thoughts on this! You DON'T have to be a professional photographer to participate! Even if all you have is a digital camera, that works just fine. Same the author (esses) out there.
It is just to have some fun, but also give the participants a little challenge.
Thoughts?
Love, Sarah

Hello Sarah,
It's sounds great!!! I'll try to enter. I'd probably enter as a photographer. I'm not very good at either, but I really don't know what I'd write about! It's nice that you're on my blogs, because this way you can see the pictures that I've taken & stories I wrote! ;) (I haven't written many stories lately, though.)
Been enjoying your blog!
Much love to y'all!
Your new friend,

Hey! Me and my camera would love that!! I am two thumbs up!! I think it would be a very nice challenge for both authors and photographers. For one thing working together on coming up with the best way to portray the ideas! I think it sounds wonderful! Great idea! And I LOVE, the new background! Very fitting! MEL

Sarah,
I just came across this writing contest that you might enjoy entering:

So far there is only one submission, and since I am not much of a writer, I thought I might pass the info on to you. =)
Oh, and I love your new header! Very pretty and fall-ish. =)
Love,
Samantha
Hello!
This is a great idea. . . what a fun (and challenging) way to get our creative juices flowing!
I would be interested in the writing part. . .it would be a challenge, but I think I would enjoy it!!
Also, I really like your new header and background; it is beautiful!
With many blessings, Frannie
Howdy!
Thanks for the great response!! I think we might get to do it! So, Becca and I will type it up and get it ready for the end of October (this will give us a chance to kind of calm down and get into a more regular schedule!)
Thanks for letting us know what you thought!
Sarah
Also Sarah, I would love to participate in this! Although, I would have to be the photographer! Let me know if I can join dear Friend! Also, I wanted to say that your blog looks absolutely GORGIOUS!!! LOVE the new Autumn look!
