Accepting that we have passed into the middle age count and 'harked back', it is with humility that I announce the next theme for our humble photo challenge.
Some of you may follow instagram, or in some other way heard of Brandon Stanton's wonderful Humans of New York series which has taken a life of it own with a book and furthered on past NYC.
If not, the premise is compelling. I have added a couple of links where you can see and read about it.

Humans of New York
The idea is to emulate this by taking a portrait (not necessarily a head/shoulder type) and then writing a short bit about the person(s) in the image. Since we are a global group, I call this the Humans from Earth challenge. The theme is as usual open to individual interpretation.
....................................................................................................................................
The challenge will run for two weeks (approximately) and I'll close it on 4th of September around 8pm US Central time. I'll try to give warning/reminders closer to the date.
1. Either take pictures that match the nominated theme or select some from your portfolio. You must be the photographer that created the images in order to enter it.
2. Only one entry per salon, please. If you want to withdraw an entry and replace it with another, that is OK, but you must make it clear in the post containing your replacement pictures that this is what you've done. You can add or change the title and add to the edit line to let everyone know.
3. The decision of the curator at the end of the challenge is final - don't give him/her a hard time about it: this is just a friendly photo-challenge, after all!
4. The winner will assume the responsibility of curator for the next Salon Challenge, and as soon as possible post a message in a new thread in the SC Photo Challenges forum, with details of the new theme. Don't forget - that opening message must include a copy of these instructions, which also double as the rules.
5. The curator cannot enter his or her own salon
