Thanks to Julia for suggesting this week’s Challenge.
The title is bring a friend, and you have to do just that. You and your chosen friend (or relative, contractor, or hostage) should both take a photo for the Photo Challenge. You could even take pictures of each other.
I won’t be around to publish the results on Tuesday as I am moving house. But don’t worry – Paul has kindly agreed to take over the Challenge for a week. Please send in your photos as usual, either by leaving them as comments on this post, or emailing them to photos@jonathangazeley.com. The emails will magically fly into Paul’s inbox.
Please send your entries in by noon on Tuesday 17th August. Have fun, and good luck!
Well done and thank you to the eight people who sent something in for this week’s theme of street scene. There’s a fantastic variety this week.

This week’s Challenge was suggested by Nigel.
“Street scene” – just about anything happening out in the street – markets, processions, traffic jams, stupid parking!
This should be a good one to get you out and about in the sunny weather. Why not carry your camera with you all week, so you don’t miss anything?
Entries in by noon on Tuesday 10th August, please. Good luck!
Please welcome Kathy and Vidish this week who have joined us for the first time, on the theme of music.
The entries this week are great, so very well done to the nine ten people who sent a photo in. Sorry there’s nothing from me this week – I’m sort of in the middle of packing to move house at the moment

This week’s Challenge is one we’ve had before (about a year ago, under Stu’s watch). But with virtually limitless interpretations, there’s no reason we can’t visit this theme again.
The theme is music, as suggested by Dave.
This could be someone playing an instrument, a band on stage, a close up of an instrument, a re-creation of an album cover… lots of things could fit the bill.
I’m sure there are many other interpretations too. Don’t panic if you don’t play or have access to an instrument. Think about the other ways that music manifests itself in your life.
Entries in by noon on Tuesday 3rd August, please. Good luck with this one – I hope to see plenty of variety this week!
Well done to everyone who entered this week’s Challenge, Forks. It’s a bumper week with ten entries!
Please also give a warm welcome to Dave who has entered for the first time. We hope to see your work regularly in the future

This week’s Challenge was inspired by Paul this very morning.
The Challenge is entitled Forks, and the brief is simply to take a picture of a fork.
Everyone has forks at home, but try to make it as interesting as you can. Forks have an unusual shape, and usually a reflective surface so you could try to take advantage of these by using a torch, for example.
Have fun with this one – experiment and see what unusual set-ups you can come up with. There’s plenty of scope for those who like still life here.
Entries in by noon on Tuesday 27th July, please. Good luck!
Just three entries this week on the theme of disguise.

Thanks to Julia for suggesting this week’s Challenge.
Disguise: i.e. things that are not as they seem. Could be someone in fancy dress; a mask; something used in a way that is not usual or expected, etc. Could provide some good food for thought!
There you have it, and I’m sure there are wider interpretations still – for example hiding something by disguising it.
Have fun thinking about this one, and please get your entries in by noon on Tuesday 20th July. Good luck!
Fear not! The results of the Red-themed Challenge are here at last. I was a bit busy at work today to publish them at lunch, but it seems to have paid off since most of the entries were late anyway 
So with no further ado, let’s find out who among you saw red this week.
