Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong…

10/08/2012

“If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. Men will believe what they see.” Henry David Thoreau

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong… Backwards? How did that happen?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong… Mooning your fans? LMFAO! See that lady’s face…


Luther Ingram – If lovin you is wrong I don’t wanna be right…

This week’s challenge was a bit of a challenge for me… Wrong? Who’s to judge? Hmmm. Anyhow, the song above kept playing in my head, so I had to share two versions with you…. Wrong acts are hardly captured by the average novice photog. Paparazzi and those who aim to capture celebs doing naughty things get a hands up. So, sorting through my files to find what fit the challenge, even vaguely close to Sara’s smoking landscape, was a bit difficult. Yet, that is what makes the weekly challenge fun. We put on our creative caps, take what we have, make it work, and voila! Fait accompli.

“When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong… A driving boot on the highway? What’s next!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong… How did the fawn end up with eight legs? Kali Durga inspired? Nyet!

For me this week, I looked for shots that showed something I viewed as wrong and, not necessarily negative, just not the norm. Perhaps, William Shakespeare’s quote, “Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.” says it well for me. I don’t feel the need to judge right from wrong… We all have our karma to create. Take my submissions as a tongue-in-cheek approach to the challenge.

“Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.” Winston Churchill

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong… What’s odd about this picture? Take a closer look at that fountain!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong… What’s with the hair? Is this really Jesse Ventura? An imposter? Hmmm

I’m always impressed by my fellow WordPress bloggers who complete the challenge because each person brings a new perspective, and a keen eye to the challenge. I’m looking forward to seeing what others have done. I hope you enjoy my selections. I look forward to visiting and applauding yours… Come back later for the answers to questions on the photos. Gottta dash.  Thank you! More below…

“If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?” Confucius

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong… At Comedy Bang, Bang Live with Scott Aukerman… Member of the audience steps up

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong… Would you do this on stage as a dare? For posterity? Hmmm


MILLIE JACKSON ( If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don’t Want To Be Right.wmv

Answers to photo questions: ♥I took the backward street sign shot by focusing my camera very closely to my rear view mirror in my car. ♥Yes, it was at the LMFAO concert and he was mooning the fans for fun. ♥The boot was an Ad on Wheels for LL Bean boots and I took it on the highway to Boston, MA. ♥An 8 legged fawn?  Well, actually there were two fawns in the photo but the other baby’s head was hidden. ♥The fountain is painted onto the wall… so, no real water spraying. ♥The improv show I saw with my kids was hysterical and that man in the bad skull cap was imitating Jesse Ventura. ♥The other shot shows a man from the audience don a wig, take off his shirt, and kneel down to role play being a dog. 😆 Now you know!

As I wrote this post, an old song came to mind,( If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don’t Want To Be Right. Enjoy Millie’s version… Have an awesome weekend! I’ll see you later. 😉 Thank you for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed this! What are your thoughts? What photos did you share on WRONG to fit the challenge? Was it easy/hard to find photos that supported your perspective on the subject? Were you drawn to certain types of photos for the prompt? Do share? Thank you! 🙂 😉

*Please bear with me as I continue to catch up on your blogs and commenting… Thank you all for your patience! 🙂

My fellow bloggers were equally creative with their selections. I listed several via Zemanta & WP Daily Post below. (I will update it and add more). We all appreciate trackbacks/ping-backs and Likes from fellow bloggers too! Check out how others interpreted the theme – WRONG – also below. ***

This post was inspired by a prompt from WP Daily Post: Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong… Wrong. As in, there’s something wrong here. The smoke over the beautiful San Francisco skyline definitely stands out as wrong on this otherwise beautiful afternoon. Minutes later we discovered it was due to the Chevron refinery explosion (earlier this week). Maybe the “wrong” in your picture is obvious, or maybe it’s quite subtle and takes a deeper look to notice – help your readers to understand what’s “wrong” in your picture. Share a picture that means WRONG to you!

Positive Motivation Tip: WRONG can be right and vise versa. It all depends on perspective… Pick your position and stand by it!

    Good Morning! :+) I will look in my files for “Wrong :+)” I have an idea of a couple of signs. I’ll see if I can find them. Can you give me your link to your flowers I want to see the mauve one with the dragon fly again. When I was at the dentist the other day I kept thinking of beautiful things to distract me that one photo kept poping up in my head as one of my favorite beautiful things. Now I will go and look for wrong photos. Have a good weekend. Sorry this comment was so long. Looks like I am extra wordy today!

      Good day! I was away this weekend and that’s why I haven’t made the rounds yet. TY for your comment and here’s the link to my flowers on One Life. It has the shot with the dragon fly. http://elizobihfrank.see.me/onelife2012
      Enjoy! 🙂

    Excellent post! You found a photo of wrong from so many great angles! I especially love the boot car and the backwards sign!

    • 13/08/2012 12:45 am

      TY! The boot car was a nice surprise for me too. It was actually an LL Bean Ad on wheels car. Pretty smart move for them. 🙂

  3. 11/08/2012 8:01 am

    All your entries, naturally, fit the wrong category but the ewwest is the mooning one. I mean really, maybe if he had a hot bod/face it would not be so painful but as it looks…eek, totally wrong, especially for our eyes!
    Thanks, Eliz!

    • 13/08/2012 12:45 am

      Yes, it was kinda ewwy! 😆 The show was great though. TY!

    • 13/08/2012 1:54 am

      BTW, Is something going on with your blog? Google warned me off it! 🙁

    Interesting!..

    • 13/08/2012 12:46 am

      Quite… TY for checking in Goz. How are ya? 🙂

  5. 11/08/2012 8:19 am

    Thanks for including me. I love that driving boot. I wonder if it’s Old Mother Hubbard’s car.

    • 13/08/2012 12:47 am

      TY! It was a fun surprise on the highway. It’s actually an Ad on Wheels for LL Bean boots and it got a lot of attention on the road. 😉

  6. 11/08/2012 9:38 am

    Love these wrongs. Wrongs are right.

    • 13/08/2012 12:48 am

      You are quite right dear one! TY! 🙂 Enjoyed the Olympics? 🙂

  7. 11/08/2012 9:59 am

    The guy mooning on stage is funny but the woman’s reaction is hilarious! Thanks for the giggle Elizabeth.

    • 13/08/2012 12:48 am

      It is priceless… I agree! I wanted to make it the lead photo but changed my mind. It is hysterical. TY! 😆

  8. 11/08/2012 10:20 am

    Wow – an eight legged fawn??

    • 13/08/2012 12:49 am

      Not quite… but TY for raising the question. 😆 There are two fawns in the photo but the other baby’s head is hidden. 🙂

      • 13/08/2012 1:05 am

        Well, it had to be – but part of me wondered if it was some kind of conjoined twin! 🙂

      • 13/08/2012 1:32 am

        Yes! I had the same sort of thought in my head after taking the shot and had a good chuckle about it. Appreciate your feedback. 🙂

  9. 11/08/2012 10:34 am

    great job…

    • 13/08/2012 12:50 am

      TY Marilyn, it was challenging but fun. 🙂

  10. 11/08/2012 12:12 pm

    Some hilarious ones Elizabeth 🙂 That man on stage…eeew!

    • 13/08/2012 12:51 am

      Yes. He was really pushing the envelope at that show. He’s the 2nd half of LMFAO musical team. 😉

  11. 11/08/2012 12:19 pm

    What can one add to this, fabulous post…;)

  12. 11/08/2012 1:42 pm

    Great post with great examples! That boot-on-wheels is just hilarious!

    • 13/08/2012 12:52 am

      Quite so and I have other shots of it, including a close up of the plates.. TY! 🙂

  13. 11/08/2012 3:38 pm

    Love the lady’s face in the mooning shot! I also really like that song. Very topical!

    • 13/08/2012 12:53 am

      Love the song and the priceless look on the lady’s face too. It was perfect… TY for checking in Robin… I’m still behind but will catch up soon. Love to the family and hope the move went well. 🙂

  14. 11/08/2012 7:28 pm

    I love the face of the lady seeing the moon. LOL!!!

  15. 11/08/2012 8:38 pm

    That lady’s expression is hilarious (and I would agree with her, haha)

    • 13/08/2012 12:54 am

      Especially being so close to the action… I would have the same look. TY! 😆

  16. 12/08/2012 2:52 am

    those speedos worn by LMAFAO are just wrong… 😀

  17. 12/08/2012 3:49 am

    I like the driving booth on highway!

    • 13/08/2012 12:57 am

      Yes me too! It was quite the show and everyone was looking and honking! 🙂

    Fabulous examples of many wrongs! Did you photograph that street sign in a mirror by any chance? 🙂

    • 13/08/2012 1:00 am

      TY for asking Madeleine! Yes. I took it by focusing my camera very closely to my rear view mirror in my car. I liked what I saw afterwards. Other times when I tried it, the images would be blurry but this time it worked. 🙂

  19. 12/08/2012 11:03 am

    I think you did really well here, even if you wrote that it was quite a challenge for you. You did absolutely bring a new perspective to the weekly theme. And as always you find some really good quotes. A great post.

    • 13/08/2012 1:01 am

      TY for stopping by Munchow! I really appreciate your feedback on my photos too. 🙂

  20. 12/08/2012 11:53 pm

    I’ve no idea where you get some of this stuff but it is hilarious. That boot/van thing was unbelievable

    • 14/08/2012 4:29 am

      I did a double take when I saw it too. Fortunately, I wasn’t driving and so I could take photos of it on the highway. TY for your comment! 🙂

  26. 14/08/2012 7:41 am

    Great collection. Love the Shakespeare quote.

      I do too… a bit eccentric isn’t it? TY for stopping by. 🙂

  28. 14/08/2012 8:45 pm

    An amazing series of photos. The lady’s facial expression at the concert was priceless. She was just being true to herself. Ha, ha, ha. Have a beautiful day!

    • 17/08/2012 9:49 am

      So true! It captured the mood of the event and a very human reaction. TY! 🙂

  29. 17/08/2012 12:41 am
