Remember there aren’t any winners or losers, I just pick a few images and ramble on about why they “standout” to me for various reasons.

The following photos will be published in the Sunday, November 13th edition of the Kitsap Sun.

A few images found:

• A dog in a “stroller”
• Rev. Taylor’s church service
• West Park Highway
• Remote control battleship “wars”
• What looks to be a beauty pageant of some sort for Fathoms
• Steam boats in Port Orchard
• Portrait of “Ugly Bartenders” …I am not calling them ugly, they all look like very attractive bartenders, I just type what the negative sleeve says.

***Remember, the only information I have on these images is what is written on the negative sleeve which is then typed in beneath the photos seen below.

***I also feel the need to put small plea on this post because of some slightly unscrupulous re-postings – if you are going to share these photos around social media and what not (which is totally fine that is the whole reason I scan them) PLEASE credit the Kitsap Sun. These are our old but still copyrighted images and it is important to note that they are credited to us. ***

A few images found:

• SK bed races.
• Demolition of Roosevelt Field- which I had no idea stood so very close to Warren Ave. Also take note of how the bulldozer is just pulling the last of the stadium in on itself with cables.
• Milk carton boat races…seriously there seems to have been a whole lot of fun events going on back in the day in this county!
• A portrait of a girl leaping on the steps of Bremerton Jr. High simply titled “girl who named middle school”.
• 80’s fashion shoots!
• A woman getting the chance to dance with and then getting hugged by American blues and rock musician Elvin Bishop.
• Poulsbo Summerfest

A few images found:

• A photo illustration of “Branbo” which my best guess is for a story featuring the benefits of bran. The best part is we also get a glimpse at retired photo editor and current freelancer Steve Zugschwerdt as he was shooting the illustration.
• Dedication of Bremerton High and West Hills school- which also apparently included a light-hearted moment of a man pretending to strangle himself with his tie…
• Bainbridge High’s football stadium.

A few images found:

• Marketing photos of Thomas Kemper Brewing…which according to wikipedia: “Thomas Kemper Brewing of Poulsbo was sold to Hart Brewing (later known as Pyramid) in 1992. (Thomas Kemper had been founded in 1985 on Bainbridge Island, and began making soft drinks in 1990.)”
• OC Registration
• A lady driving with a parrot on her steering wheel…okay maybe she’s just parked but still seems a bit unsafe for the bird.
• Aerial views of Bremerton from aboard the Pepsi blimp.
• Presidential nominee Michael Dukakis’s daughter Andrea campaigns in Bremerton.
• A swimming olympian from 1928

Okay after a hiatus of photo challenges and so many people telling me much they liked them and how bummed they are that they have been on hiatus I’ve decided to bring them back sporadically…maybe not one a month maybe one every other month or so.

And well it’s September and September has always been our wildlife challenge month…SO your challenge, if you choose to accept it of course, is to show me your BEST wildlife photo.

There is a wide variety of nature right outside of our doors here in Kitsap. So grab your camera (film, digital or even a simple iPhone) and get outside and show me what you see; be it birds, creatures with fur or those slimy snakes and toads hiding in the mud. Maybe you’ve recently been on a whirlwind vacation to Yellowstone this summer and shot a bazillion photos of bison wandering around doing their bison thing, if so show me the best bison of the bunch.

“Stand-Outs” be published in an upcoming edition of the Kitsap Sun.

Per usual you have a few rules/regulations:

My definition of wildlife is: animals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and/or sea creatures living in a natural, undomesticated state.

That means unless your cockatoo “Carl” has left the comfort of his cage and has joined the ranks of the local cockatoo flock foraging around Lions Park then I don’t want to see Carl’s photo.

***ALSO I AM NOT COUNTING BUG/INSECTS/SPIDERS as “wildlife”.

I always encourage you to shoot the challenge in the time-frame that it is posted, I will accept any photos of wildlife that you have shot in 2016, but they cannot have been entered for any of the other challenges that we have had.

You may send me a maximum of 5 photos for this challenge, so edit your work down to 5 images MAX shutterbugs.

Entries may be emailed to mreid@kitsapsun.com

A few images found:

• My favorite image of this scanned group is the photo of kids in a boat looking picking up boards as the Silverdale Hotel burns in the background.
