1. Two weeks after Sandy.. the big claw finally came

and removed a big, wet, stinky pile of destroyed rugs, padding and insulation....

[Solly Mack]

2. That would have made an interesting photo.

[annabanana]

3. Did I post it wrong in the submissions thread?

I never did one before....

[Solly Mack]

4. ETA: See it.

You posted it correctly!

and Thank you!

[Whovian]

7. Already some great submissions!

Hoping to participate myself but my desktop with PP programs is down with a bad boot sector. Hope to get it back up soon enough to throw one out there.

[Solly Mack]

8. I agree. We're off to a great start.

This is annabanana's first time entering - and she was the first to enter!

Looking forward to your entry, so I hope you get everything back up soon too.

[Solly Mack]

9. More wonderful photos!

I'm truly enjoying everyone's take on Lost/Discarded. I'm jealous because I can't enter.

[Earth_First]

10. Almost halfway full in only four hours!

WTG!

[Solly Mack]

11. Let's hope the pace keeps up and we get 30.

I'm loving the submissions.

[SouthernDonkey]

12. Excellent entries

So far! As was last months, some really great shots yall!
Thanks for hosting Solly! Great job!

[Solly Mack]

16. Hi, SouthernDonkey.

Thank you! (and you're welcome!)

[GoneOffShore]

13. And I see that there are some excellent shots.

I'm really liking Tragedy Strikes and Eyewitness - good details and great color balance.

[intheflow]

14. Hey, kids!

Lookin' good so far! I personally love the sad tale of the lost ice cream. Tragic, indeed!

Will someone who knows more about photo dimensions look at my submission and tell me if it's too big? I think it's okay but photobucket is doing this new layout and some of their pages are buggy for me. Not sure if what it says it is is what it is! Thanks!

[Solly Mack]

15. Hi! It's just right. (channeling Goldilocks)

Very nice photo!

[intheflow]

18. Thanks!

And thanks for hosting. It's been a long time since I played because I kept missing the deadline. Thank god for the subscription tab lighting up, allowing me to see your post.

[Solly Mack]

17. So close to half way there!

Wonderful entries!

Thank you all!

19. It should be a good contest. The Corvair image is very good.

[handmade34]

22. I particularly

like the Corvair... good photo but also nostalgic for me... (1st kiss on date in Corvair )

[alfredo]

24. Sadly, by the time they fixed the handling problem people were afraid of the car.

[Solly Mack]

20. Lots of wonderful photos!

[a la izquierda]

21. Looking good, DU!

[SouthernDonkey]

23. Really good entries!

I have many favorites. Some tough choices again.

[alfredo]

25. I think I see the winner. Cool photo

[a la izquierda]

26. I hope someone adopted that dog!

[bluedigger]

27. I'm torn between submitting in this contest and The DU Lounge's.

[Solly Mack]

28. LMAO

Do both. Just uh - with different photos perhaps.

[Solly Mack]

29. Good morning!

Very creative photos!

[Blue_In_AK]

30. Solly, I hope you don't mind that I went back into my archives

for my shot. I just couldn't find anything interesting enough in my travels, other than the tampon (which I would die before I would post in a contest) and some lost gloves. My photo is from the Gulf Coast a year and a half after Katrina.

[Solly Mack]

31. I don't mind.

Sad. A year and a half later... debris and junk still in the trees.

[SouthernDonkey]

39. HA! :)

Good photo Blue! Mine is actually from my archive as well, when I was in Alaska a few years ago! That's kind of ironic, mine from there and your's from down here.

Solly...there's is still a lot left to do on the Gulf Coast even after all these years! Katrina was devastating.

[Blue_In_AK]

40. I should have known, SouthernDonkey, given the subject matter.

. I have some similar photos, except they involve halibut heads and seagulls.

[Solly Mack]

32. Woohoo! 4 more slots!

[Earth_First]

33. 'Bottom's Up' by LauraPourMeADrink...

Best photo emboding both the contest theme and username ever!

[Solly Mack]

34. You're right. Hmm....might even make a good contest theme one day.

expressing screen name through photography.

[Earth_First]

35. That's a great thought!

+1

[Solly Mack]

36. I'd need a sunny day and a Mack truck.

[Earth_First]

37. Mine could get me on a Federal Watchlist...

Probably already am!

[Solly Mack]

38. Let's hope not.

You could figure out something that wouldn't do that.

[intheflow]

41. RichardD!

I almost posted similar old car photos from Santa Fe!



At first I thought it was the same car, but yours is leaning up against barbed wire so I guess not. Still, same color and similarly graffitied

[Richard D]

42. It's the same one!!

Looks like the fence was moved or put in after you took that. Too funny.
What's really funny is that I almost entered this view instead.
Good eye, intheflow!

[SouthernDonkey]

43. That has got to be the same car..

That's wild!

edited to add: Yes it is the same one! See the rock in front of the left front tire in both shots as well.
That is just such an amazing coincidence! Really cool!

[intheflow]

44. Great photographers shoot alike, I guess!

That's a nice little park. My dog and I had a wonderful time romping through there. I can see why they'd have added the wire, though. I'll bet kids were climbing all over those vehicles and the city feared a law suit.

[JohnnyRingo]

50. That's just incredible!

I have a lot of junk around here, but to imagine someone else is eying up my hometown trash is unbelievable.

Nice image, BTW.

[Solly Mack]

45. 4 more to go. Entries close soon.

[handmade34]

46. was gonna enter...

too late... ok, I guess I was playing loose with the topic...

"Lost in the Fog"

[Solly Mack]

47. I'll enter it. :)

Just go ahead and add it.

[handmade34]

48. ...

[Solly Mack]

49. Good Luck All!
