"We were given: Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find."

"We were given: Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find."

This was my second week in the flickr group Get Pushed. The purpose of the group is to take a challenge from a partner assigned to you each week. For this challenge I was paired with kweese96. He has a wonderful and varied stream that you should really view. He is a very versatile and clever photographer! You'll be impressed.

Well, after perusing my stream, he came up with the following challenge for me (and may I add was a very formidable one at that):

1. You must take a picture of two or more complete strangers

2. They can not know you are taking their picture

3. The photo can have any amount of processing you would like, but it must be in black and white

4. The photo must be related to any movie of your choice in some way that is obvious, but without the movie title written on the photo (but it can be on the caption)

Now, #'s 1-3 were challenge enough for me, but adding #4, that was a real doozy. What movies could I find in a small resort area?

So Saturday my sisters, Pita and I piled into my Expedition and set out to find The River Wild since it was shot just a couple hours from home. We took a route through Yaak River country and came upon these bikers in Yaak, Montana and thus came up with my first answer to the challenge. After snapping a few shots for my first submission - Wild Hogs, I continued my journey looking for something else for this challenge in case the motorcycle shots didn't turnout like I wanted. As we came to Bull River, we saw a boat with a couple fly fishing. The sun was starting its descent in the West, and their fly lines were beautifully catching the rays of the sun as they cast. So I'm hoping that this one could represent On Golden Pond. Niether of them were in waders standing in the river, nor looked much like Brad Pitt so I decided against using A River Runs Through It.

It was a great challenge and I learned a lot and it was indeed a push, but a lot of fun. (By the way, do you think we saw a single raft on the Kootenai River for The River Wild? Not one!
A big Thank You to kweese96. for a really fun challenge! See his fabulous response to my challenge here.
