So if you want to score high, take a picture of yard tools, mountains, or something besides a child's toy. Goodness knows EGGS are not being voted on highly.

Woohoo I got over the laziness and entered something :D I'm quite pleased with it actually, probably won't score that well though.

I want the challenge to start now.

I think that I may finally get a 6 with the one I entered.. my hopes are set high. (knocks on wood*)

What's with all the basic rules... Both Children's toy challenges were basic and the children without children was classic and basic... This one should be changed to Advanced

Well, just got my entry with a little help from a C-T R, so now only have to choose which one to enter. Ahh, decisions, decisions! :-)

agreed, I hope people don't over do it with all of the older toys.

So what are you looking for, screen shots from Playstation, and gameboy? Take a walk down to the Elementary school, marbles and Jacks are still being played. Barbie and Tonka still are popular. Teddy Bears, Raggedy Ann, and sock monkeys are in rooms world wide. I still see Yo-yo̢۪s and hula hoops regularly. How old is old in toys? Bicycles? Baseball? What?

Action figures, skateboards, soccerballs, gameboys.. there is alot to choose from.

I'm not saying theres anything wrong with older toys as entries, but in the previous challenges there were too many of them.

Took the words outta my mouth haha

To be honest, going with old toys is probably a good idea.
03/06/2010 12:39:17 PM · #17
Other than the Gameboy, the newest toy you are talking about, the skateboard, predates you both by about 3 decades..
03/06/2010 12:55:01 PM · #18
hmmm, my son should get a clue, then. One of his favorite games is marbles.
03/06/2010 01:05:08 PM · #19
yes but the skateboard has changed into a newer toy each decade, as with the other toys I mentioned.

Just becasue a version of something was made a long time ago doesn't mean that the ones we have now are old. Thats like saying the all cars are old becuase the first one was in the 1800s.

Look, first off, a lot of people are probably going to be entering toys that they played with, and which their children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews etc are still enjoying now. The wooden building blocks, the Etch-a-Sketch, Hot Wheels cars, stuffed animals and Fisher-Price figurines that I played with - and I am literally old enough to be your mother - are still being played with by my nieces, aged 10, 4 and 6. Yes they have lots of 'new' toys too, but one thing you have to realize is that there is nothing new out there. Just old ideas (and toys) brought up to date. You can see the same cycles in the fashion world.

I hope people arent going to vote down on subjects they think are too old/new. I thought it was supposed to be about the actual photograph, not who has the best toys...

I agree this shouldn't be a generation thing. A wooden horse a playstation or a climbing frame there are all toys, but everybody knows what the majority of kids would choose nowadays. Old or modern lets be neutral and make this a photo thing, or maybe we should let the kids judge.

Sorry, I haven't read the whole thread, but why is this a concern? There's nothing in the challenge title or description that says anything about old/new.
