Scavenger Hunt!
-
Read this hilarious article in the NY Times —
http://travel.nytimes.com/2007/03/04/travel/04weekend.1.html?pagewanted=1&ref=travelIt was a photo scavenger hunt held last weekend — they asked people to find, and snap, typical NYC scenes:
Some of my fave categories:
*Worst bagel/cream cheese or spread combo: Blueberry bagel with olive tofu spread? You can do better (worse) than that. Either a photo of the offending sandwich or, if you don’t dare order it, separate photos of the elements qualify.
*Multiple Starbucks in one picture: Two, certainly; three is a challenge.
*Most intellectual book being read in public: O.K., or perhaps just used as a prop to attract a Ms. or Mr. Right prone to lugging around a copy of ?Gravity’s Rainbow.? If you hear someone say, ?Oh, you’re into Kierkegaard? ? whirl, point and shoot.
*Most unlikely companions: Some New York restaurants specialize in unusual wine and food pairings, but the entire city specializes in unusual people pairings. Is that fashionable babe really dating that pitiful slob? Is that silver-haired guy about three times that woman’s age? Is that a rabbi necking with a Senegalese hair stylist? (100 points for the last one.)If we did this in Ireland… what would our categories be?
Catherine
I Love the idea of this.
Worst head on a pint of Guinness
Worst looking breakfast roll
Youngest looking Garda
Fattest Pidgeon
Most interesting piece of litter
Most disgruntled looking shop assistant
Most beat up looking taxithe list just keeps going
Most number of sheep in one field (add castle for extra points)…
Most number of Americans in castle… or parking lot….Special Neighbourhood Challenge:
“Take a photo of 10 continuous metres of footpath in a residential area with no dog turds on it.”
Catherine depends what part you come from
The most Hoodies/Baseball caps in one photo
Most murals on a wall (bonus spelt right)
Most election posters on one lamp post
Most flags hanging from lamp post (time of year varies)
It could go on up here.
Soda… an 18-25 year old youth driving a car that doesn’t have a giant
spoiler on the back of it…biggest camera carried by a tourist going to visit Guinness, and then takes a photo of the Guinness power station. :-)

Should seriously consider putting 10 of these together and all having a go in, say, a week, see how many people can get :-)
I like: garda, pigeon, litter, shop assistant, taxi
Would add: most car clamps (in use) in one shot – or – most free newspaper distributors in one shot; best ‘undercover’ photo of someone in a suit running; most amusing graffiti.
D.
how about we add…
brightest orange makeup/foundation (orange filter in photoshop NOT allowed)!
most outrageous muffin top (illustration? try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muffin_top)

Most big issue sellers in one spot (wearing yellow vests)
Most charity workers (yellow coat or Blue t-shirt)
Muffin top works for me
People out shopping/after midday in their pyjamas
How fast I can run away from the above list.
