O.K. it’s a tie. Unless we are counting number of votes, then Marc kicked my butt. Marc won rounds 1 and 4 and I won rounds 2 and 3. Alex, the sweet, sweet lemon was in charge of all the vote tallying. Therefore, according to the rules, Marc and I now have to have a photo-off in Japan and New York, respectively.

Any suggestions from you the people regarding the “photo-off”?

Hmmm – maybe you each have to submit 3 photos on 3 subjects that are common to both places – like 1 on subways, 1 on bridges, 1 on crowds. Granted, these particular subjects have all already been covered. The hard part is that if you want us to vote without knowing which is which, that’s going to be hard. Maybe you just have to do all nature shots. Or, you could say screw the anonymity, 3 photos to best capture the city you’re in.
Or, you could accept the tie as an indication of balance and harmony, and rise above the concept of “winner” and “loser.”
Nah.

As a sweet beverage, I would normally say – why compete? But knowing Michele and Marc as I do, neither will sleep knowing that there isn’t an out and out winner. Although, Marc did pull in the most votes.
Being impartial, I think that they should just go balls to the wall on their current home city and let the true winner win.

Why is some guy living in a tent under a bridge? In Austin they just live under the bridge without a tent and ask for money when stop at the stoplight.
And why is Alex a lemon?
