Maybe I am a stickler. . .but the challenge said "something" not "someone" in excess of 100 years. . .do you think people will really count as non DNMC subjects for this?

Yep, you are being a stickler here, a person is someone, but also something 100 years old. I am person, but I am still something old in my ways:) I do things that are old to the yuff of today, in the realm of objects, animate or inanimate. I am a thing as well as a humman bean. |

Yes, you're a stickler. Lighten up. Enjoy the images. |

OK, I'm in and am happy with my entry. This absolutely guarantees that it'll tank big time! |

Don't listen to them. We must stick to our principles!

I think this is a semantical argument.
Dictionary Definition-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
thing n
1. an object, fact, affair, circumstance, or concept considered as being a separate entity
2. any inanimate object
3. an object or entity that cannot or need not be precisely named
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hence a person is not a thing, unless referred to informally as a "poor thing", and this challenge indicates "something" not "someone".
This actually makes the challenge harder for me, as it would be much easier to barge into a nursing home and snap a shot Elder McCrankster then it will be for me to find a something over a 100 years old.
My predicted shoehorns for this contest will be
Landscape and/or Sky Shots
People
Concepts or Ideas (either pictures or acted out ideals)
: )
BTW, I am not "THAT" worried about this. This one was just about as scary a topic for a wide range of interpretations as I've seen so far. Will certainly be fun.

The Moon.
A rock or pebble.
Although, making a photo of a rock interesting would be in itself a challenge.

What if it is an actual 100 year old shoe horn;-p :-)? |

I got a question. The thing you photograph has to be 100 years old itself or, lets say, invented 100 years before? :) |

Guaranteed DNMC if you shoot, say, a 2010 Mercedes Benz and title it "First Manufactured 1885" LOL.

Entered the challenge with yet another "hope it does well". Usually ends me up with a 5 to 5.5 range but I'm still hoping that this could be the one that hits mid 6's. |

Guess I have submitted a "shoehorn" as classified above. Not that I actually know what that means... |

Well, a shoehorn is used to force something to fit where it really doesn't, so a shoehorned entry is one that is forced to fit, usually by the use of a clever title.
Usually.

My problem is both not having the experience and/or time to create the shot I see in my head as well as my titles aren't clever enough to trick the voters! |

By the looks of your profile page you seem to be doing just fine. |

I'm in - however, I have a feeling it will not do well with the voters here, but I like it. :-D |

I'm in. First one since my last train wreck. Feels good though. If the sun would just cooperate I'd get involved in a lot more. Or maybe I should buy a flash. eh, to be pondered later. Should be interesting to see what ends up in this. |
