ok, i give in. so many have asked for the return of the old “photo in need of a caption” contests from my old blog, that i’ll play along. but you must realize, i no longer have the power or wherewithal to grant free books to the winner! so with that incentive gone, we may see a dramatic decrease in playas. but we’ll see.
the rules, in case you forgot:
– add a caption as a comment.
– it can be a “title” for the photo, or a “comment” made my someone or something in the photo. either way is fair game.
– if you look back at past winners, you will certainly notice that i have a penchant for the uniquely skewed, rather than the obvious.
– the winner is selected by a purely subjective and biased committee of one: me.
– the prize for winning, in the new whyismarko photo in need of a caption contests is… a hearty congratulations! (maybe if some publisher wants to start spiffing me with sample copies of books like they do for jon acuff, i can start offering books as prizes again).
with that, i give you this beauty. have at it. i’ll likely close the contest in a few days — but i promise nothing.
