    MPC #66 "Patterns" (4/26-5/10)

    Lane seems to be taking a hiatus so mtcham asked me as runner up to start the next contest. Lane, if you see this before anyone posts and want to change the topic I will be happy to delete.

    I wanted this MPC to be accessible to anyone with a camera regardless of ability so I made it about something we see everyday.

    Not that you need it but...
    pattern |ˈpatərn|
    noun
    1 a repeated decorative design : a neat blue herringbone pattern.
    • an arrangement or sequence regularly found in comparable objects or events : the house had been built on the usual pattern.
    • a regular and intelligible form or sequence discernible in certain actions or situations : a complicating factor is the change in working patterns.
    2 a model or design used as a guide in needlework and other crafts. See note at model .
    • a set of instructions to be followed in making a sewn or knitted item.
    • a wooden or metal model from which a mold is made for a casting.
    • an example for others to follow : he set the pattern for subsequent study.
    • a sample of cloth or wallpaper.
    verb [ trans. ]
    1 [usu. as adj. ] ( patterned) decorate with a recurring design : rosebud patterned wallpapers | violet-tinged flowers patterned the grassy banks.
    2 give a regular or intelligible form to : the brain not only receives information, but interprets and patterns it.
    • ( pattern something on/after) give something a form based on that of (something else) : the clothing is patterned on athletes' wear.

    RULES:
    1. Photos must be taken within the time period of the contest.
    2. You may submit 3 photos during the competition.
    3. The contest moderator will choose 5 photos to be voted on.
    4. The winner will get a happy feeling in his/her pants. (That is a rule by the way, not an option.)
    5. In the event of a tie, the contest moderator will have the deciding vote.
    6. Winner will be the contest starter/moderator for the next comp.
    7. The winner has 3 days to start a new contest or 2nd place becomes the new winner.

    Not eligible

    Be careful about buying snowboard goggles for skiing. Snowboard goggles come in right eye and left eye (for goofy-footers) dominant models. This can make it hard to see correctly when skiing because you are facing straight down the hill, not sideways.
