As you should all know by now, today (Monday, December 31st, 2007) was John Scalzi's last day blogging for AOL on By the Way.
A number of people have said they were going to miss John's Monday
Photo Shoots, and a few have asked me whether anyone will be picking up
the slack, and assigning them in John's stead. MPS addict that I am,
I'm willing to give it a shot. How about you?
Here's how this
will work: I will post an entry every Monday with that week's subject.
(After this week, it will be early Monday AM, not Monday night.) If you
want to join in, take your picture, post it to your blog or journal,
and leave a link in the comments to the original entry here. On
Thursday night, I'll do a follow-up entry just as John did, linking
back to everyone who participated. Simple, no? Then let's get started!
Your Substitute Monday Photo Shoot #1: What's New?
In honor of the new year, show us something new. It can be a gift you
got over the holidays, something you gave yourself, or even something
that symbolizes the New Year to you. If it's new, it'll do!
Here's mine:
This is the coolest Christmas present I got this year: the 25th Anniversary Illustrated Collector's Edition of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
by Douglas Adams. It's one of my favorite books of all time. It's also
one of my favorite tv shows and spoken word records, several of my
favorite audio tapes, my very favorite radio show and my second
favorite towel. It's not remotely my favorite film, but one can't have
everything.
I have the text of the first Hitchhiker's
book in several editions as it is, but this one is pretty special. It's
full of visual reproductions of annotated scripts, behind the scenes
photos from the various productions, merchandise, flyers and fan
memorabilia. Love it! (And yes, I realize the above photo isn't
terribly good from a technical standpoint. The glare off glossy paper
gets me every time!)
Your turn! Take a picture of something new,
post it to your blog, and come back here and leave your link. You have
until midnight Thursday night, when I will compile the roundup of
links from both Musings and the Outpost. Remember, your participation or lack thereof will determine
whether there's still a Monday Photo Shoot in the weeks ahead. And if
someone else wants to take it over, please let me know so we can
coordinate. Thanks!
Karen
