The ongoing contest theme Anachronism will be extended one week, submissions accepted until June 12.

Anachronism: (from the Greek ἀνά ana, "against" and χρόνος khronos, "time") a chronological inconsistency in some arrangement, especially a juxtaposition of person(s), events, objects, or customs from different periods of time. The most common type of anachronism is an object misplaced in time, but it may be a verbal expression, a technology, a philosophical idea, a musical style, a material/textile, a plant or animal, a custom or anything else associated with a particular period in time so that it is incorrect to place it outside its proper temporal domain.

An anachronism may be either intentional or unintentional. Intentional anachronisms may be introduced into a literary or artistic work to help a contemporary audience engage more readily with a historical period. Anachronism can also be used for purposes of rhetoric, comedy, or shock. Unintentional anachronisms may occur when a writer, artist, or performer is unaware of differences in technology, customs, attitudes, or fashions between different historical eras.
 
Exceptional photo socko-both concept and execution. i just read about a civil war reenactment that was hosted in a nearby city which i missed and might have been a decent opportunity for a proper photograph. i understand this would be lame but if i can't find anything new i might have to resort to stealing your idea again! :D

i really enjoy this contest so all participation is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the kind words. The night I took the photo, I was at a party on another river boat when that one passed. I ran down the deck follwing it to try to get a good shot. I only have my cell phone as a camera and it is an equivalent of a 50mm lens so it was hard to get teh entire boat and any detail of the paddle wheel in the same shot. took about 30 photos of that boat trying to get one taht showed the paddle wheel in good light. The person I was with did the same thing and had some good ones in which the boat was framed by some willow looking plants growing on the deck.
 
unless you have a tripod and a remote the phone can often take better pictures than a SLR. i used to love taking long exposure photos at night but remember my Nikon would only take clear pictures if i used a tripod. Were you on a small riverboat casino? I once played a lot of poker and was told the riverboat casinos were relatively cheap for a night out and usually full of terrible players

im gonna dig through the pictures i took with my kindle recently. the camera on the kindle fire is mediocre but the device takes excellent video.

voted for assclass even though i'm not 100 percent sure how it relates to "anachronism." are romantic kisses in the rain dated in this day and age? anyway, awesome photo.
