Dependence day

It's been another busy week on the assignment front - 100 entries as we write and your responses have been just as diverse as last time.

Once again, the nice folks at Blipcentral have trawled through all the submissions and picked out the most notable...

Every day is Dependence Day
If you've never encountered Elmer's daily adventures, you can't have been hanging round Blip long enough! He's been here since the beginning and is one of the most-talked about journals here in the studio. A great response to this week's assignment.

My Drug Of Choice
Several of you mentioned the substances you were dependent on, but this shot of Benek's particularly caught our eye. (We're glad to see you favour the dark stuff, Benek.)

Moving day with a twist
Poor, poor Chick Flick. In a valiant attempt to save her camera during an unexpected tumble, she broke her wrist. Luckily the camera's fine and she had a great subject for her assignment. Look forward to seeing some capital letters again once you've healed, Flick.

Family ties
You can't possibly have missed Arrow's new arrival - Nibbler the duck, beautifully captured here by Northern Exposure. The whole family's just realised they've got a very dependent new person on their hands...

Postie, postie....
A dramatic picture reminding us of the importance of one of The Empire's greatest achievements. Us urbanites might be all new-fangled wires and data packets, but where would eBay be without The Royal Mail?

Dependants day
A controversial note on which to round things off, but a distinctly different approach to the whole theme.

Well done people, you never cease to amaze us! We'd also just like to offer a slightly belated Happy Independence Day to all our American Blippers - it was great to see the site go fireworktastic on Wednesday.

Anyway, never mind that - we know you're only reading this to find out what's next on the list. So without further ado, we're pleased to announce that this week's theme is 'collections'. Everyone has a collection of something - show us yours. Please remember to tag your entries with 'assignment3'.

Have a great weekend, folks!

(The picture? Oh - that's what Blipfoto depends on. Well, that and your love.)
