A Bald Head

2008-07-15T05:27:00.001-07:00

A Keyboard

2008-07-15T05:19:00.001-07:00

Another Team

2008-07-15T05:16:00.001-07:00

A Red Backpack

2008-07-15T05:10:00.001-07:00

This was easy.... I was already wearing it!

A Tour Bus

2008-07-15T05:05:00.001-07:00

Not 15 ft from our start point....one of our first 5 pic's.

A Wheel, not on a car, truck, bike etc

2008-07-15T05:01:00.001-07:00

So, this is a wheel on a security gate.

Yesterday's News

2008-07-14T05:18:00.000-07:00

This wound up being a stroke of luck. While thinking about taking the next picture, the X and T one, I glanced in to this pizza place beside us. I saw the newspaper's there, and knew that one item was 'yesterday's news', and this wound up being the newspaper from the day previous. Perfect!

Salt and Pepper Shaker's

2008-07-14T05:06:00.001-07:00

A Word with the letter's "X" and "T" in it

2008-07-13T19:31:00.001-07:00

This one was an obvious EXIT search, so we thought to try other sources.... like Texas? (as in Lone Star Texas Grill)....but James's knowledge of bikes was useful. We stumbled on this one while I was checking out 'yesterdays news' inside a pizza place just a short jaunt from our start point.

A Canadian Web address on a Vehicle

2008-07-13T19:18:00.000-07:00

This did not specify it had to be painted on a vehicle. We used the Cityhunter's card we had with us, complete with web address, and put it on a vehicle. Voila!

An angel

2008-07-13T19:10:00.000-07:00

Found on an advertising stuck in a car's window.

Something found in a Woman's Purse

2008-07-13T19:07:00.001-07:00

Of course there are many things that can be found in a woman's purse. But if anyone know's me even a little bit, they know that my camera is always with me, most often in my purse so it's handy.

My brother has the exact same camera, and yes, this is the 'point and click' I take all my pictures with.

A Maple leaf, not on a Flag or Sign

2008-07-10T05:27:00.000-07:00

Something like that... I don't remember the exact wording for it. This is on a T-shirt of a lovely waitress in the Lone Star Texas Grill in the Byward Market.

Perfect!!

A bottle with something red in it.

2008-07-10T05:24:00.000-07:00

Thank you Lone Star!!!

Something normally found in a student backpack

2008-07-10T05:20:00.000-07:00

My brother James, is a student. So finding this item wasn't hard at all.

A Gem

2008-07-10T05:14:00.000-07:00

Fire

2008-07-10T05:09:00.001-07:00

Not the traditional fire most folks thought of...but still Fire!

Accessibility

2008-07-10T05:04:00.000-07:00

I believe most teams went for wheelchair accessibility; but the wording wasn't that specific. We saw this and grabbed it.

An odd pair of shoes

2008-07-10T05:00:00.000-07:00

Canadian Patriotism

2008-07-10T04:53:00.000-07:00

Canadian Diversity

2008-07-10T04:51:00.000-07:00

James climbed up on a trash can at an intersection to get a 'taller' perspective for this shot.

Something normally found inside, but is outside.

2008-07-10T04:42:00.000-07:00

Makes Noise, but has no moving parts

2008-07-06T10:47:00.000-07:00

We used a 'pea-less' whistle. Uses only forced air to make noise.

A Tattoo

2008-07-06T10:42:00.001-07:00

I have one myself too, but we decided to see what else we could find, using mine last minute if we didn't actually capture one on the way. This one is from a guy sitting outside of the tattoo parlour wherein we took the next 2 photo's as well (with permission of course)

Chinese symbol for PEACE

2008-07-06T10:35:00.000-07:00

We stopped outside of a tattoo parlour, taking the prevous picture (above). A few of our other sought after items were chinese symbols, and I was pretty sure they'd have them inside. We were introduced to the owner of the store, and explained what we were doing, and asked if we would be allowed permission to photograph just those few items we needed. She agreed and even helped direct us to the pages containing the proper images. We then just had to find them ourselves.

Thanks very much!! We do appreciate your help.

Always pays to ask first, as some other teams (we heard later) got in trouble for taking pictures inside the tattoo place they chose to go to. Tsk tsk tsk.... ask first!

Chinese symbol for LOVE.

2008-07-06T10:28:00.000-07:00

We asked permission to photograph the tattoo images.

A Coffee cup

2008-07-06T10:26:00.004-07:00

Tragic that garbage gets left behind. Possible it blew out of the can it had been put in, but who knows...

We deposited it where trash belongs after we took its photo.

A Mask

2008-07-06T10:26:00.003-07:00

An earring in an Ear

2008-07-06T10:26:00.001-07:00

.... and no, this is not on a human. This is from a Buddha statue we found in the Market.

Matching outfits

2008-07-06T10:17:00.000-07:00

.... 4 hot pink stewardess's.... hot stuff indeed!

An artificial Bird, not a picture.

2008-07-06T10:06:00.000-07:00

A Picture of an Insect

2008-07-06T10:04:00.000-07:00

Following the 'letter of the law' in the listing, we took a picture of an insect, and then took a picture of that picture. Helps to have 2 camera's!

Something made from red cloth.

2008-07-05T17:42:00.000-07:00

With all the red T-shirts we had around us that day, we decided to grab this shot instead. Didn't want to duplicate anyone else's shot.

2 Flags from other Countries in the same Shot

2008-07-05T17:39:00.000-07:00

A Boat

2008-07-05T17:34:00.000-07:00

A bit of a stretch, but hey.... points for inventive and original thought.

This is a gravy 'boat'.

A Candle

2008-07-05T17:32:00.000-07:00

An Instruction Sign with an Unusual Instruction

2008-07-05T17:27:00.000-07:00

A Storefront Manikan with no Hair

2008-07-05T17:20:00.000-07:00

We decided that no heads also equalled no hair.

A T-Shirt with a Funny Saying

2008-07-05T17:17:00.000-07:00

A Figurine of a Cat

2008-07-05T17:13:00.001-07:00

We opted for the (stretch of the rules possibly) soft figurine of a cat.

Thanks Webkinz!

A Fruit

2008-07-05T17:09:00.000-07:00

We chose the 'less ordinary' chocolate 'fruit' for our shot.

A Musical Instrument

2008-07-02T10:25:00.000-07:00

Paper currency from another country.

2008-07-02T10:24:00.000-07:00

Parliament Hill, reflected in a pair of sunglasses.

2008-07-02T10:22:00.000-07:00

We used a postcard to be our image, rather than trot all the way over to get the real thing in view. Besides, it was technically out of bounds of the playing field.

Something that transports humans, but is not a vehicle (ex. car, truck, etc)

2008-07-02T10:21:00.002-07:00

An illegally parked car

2008-07-02T10:12:00.000-07:00

No parking sign is in front of this vehicle....not easy to get it in the shot though.

Something that eats, but is not animal or human

2008-07-02T10:11:00.000-07:00

A Bike Stand, with a Bike, with something missing

2008-07-02T10:05:00.000-07:00

A Payphone in Use

An unusual bicycle.

2008-07-02T10:01:00.001-07:00

This may not look too unusual, but it's a speed racing bike. It has extra thin wheels, one gear only, and no brakes.

An Animal in it's name, but no regard to it's content...

2008-07-02T09:59:00.000-07:00

In case you aren't familiar with it, this is a Beaver Tail.

An Unusual Car

A clock, Roman numerals

2008-07-02T09:55:00.000-07:00

hmmm...

2008-07-02T09:53:00.000-07:00

this one is more complicated to explain exactly what they wanted. We took it to mean same numbers (plural) affixt to a building, with a parking meter. It wasn't quite worded like that, but with no punctuation, it was open to some interpretation.
