@warner esteemed company indeed considering the lacklustre pictures I tend to produce 📷🤡

@warner Thank you for putting me on your list of photos

@warner Nice wrap up! Sorry I didn’t contribute yesterday. I have been feeling disconnected. 🙃

@warner thanks for the shout out and yes I spend way to much time in hockey rinks which is why my face is always frozen 😁

@warner many thanks!

@cn what I love about M.b is the range from Insta-worthy edits to very candid iPhone quick-takes

@agilelisa you put yourself there by taking part!
Glad you’re back to singing with others again too!

@jean sorry to hear that! I have a cold and so am kinda looking forward to disconnecting on Monday for a week myself!
Curious: was I right in the Appendix about the automatically picked up photo?

@ericmwalk I think you’ve given me the cold I’m currently suffering 🥶

@lukemperez thanks for sharing awesome pics of your fam’s journey. You seem like a very committed dad!

@maique I wanna get more involved in the whole month next time. Is the etiquette that photos should have been taken fairly recently (preferably on the day?)? You seem to draw yours from past trips more, which gives more freedom to match the prompt.

@warner @maique I try to take the photo on the day of the challenge, but as all can see, I have definitely posted photos from the past, photos I’ve posted before(!), and even things that aren’t really photos (scan of a meaningful page). I think it all works.

@warner thanks. It’s been a fun photo challenge because that’s the subject most readily available to photograph.

@warner No, nothing happens automatically. If I spot the word in a photo post and it seems plausibly part of the submissions, I just include it. Some people have a more subtle style than others. Everyone is posting at their own blog, so we don’t make a requirement of including a special emoji or hashtag or formatting. Not an exact science. 🙂

@warner Thanks for the mention! I was around these original iMacs when they were new but never spent any significant amount of time on one. In recent years I’ve become more interested in Apple computers and their history, so I acquired this iMac last year!

@dfj what year was it from?

@dfj checks out for seeing at my grandparents in early 2000s

@jean respect the human touch. keep keeping it real!

@agilelisa @maique I’m gonna channel your guys approach in future, and try to complete the next month’s challenge, aiming for about 50/50 on the day vs. from the archive

@warner As our friend @patrickrhone put it so aptly, “A community can only be built by those who commune.” (Micro Monday, Episode 100)

@jean the first Micro Monday I heard: Patrick was great. Was an honour for @jasraj & I to follow him. Glad to see there’s been more since with folks I know @cm @pimoore: will catch up next week on LightPhone!
P.s. Patrick’s wonderful audio is unfortunately unplayable with error on my Duck iOS @manton
