Las Reglas (The Rules)

¡Buenos dias, Mis Amores! Once again, it is I, Rogelio, your host for this year's Locura de Marzo contest of photographs. I am writing at the end of a long dia which included much thinking about life, my good looks, and the concurso. 

The last thinking, of course, was done at the request of Eric, whose pathetic pleading convinced me to be the face of this year's contest. ("Please, Rogelio, I'm training for Paris Brest Paris! I don't have time, and I need help with the contest!" I have not idea what this Paris ride is, but his crying and sobbing were too much for even I to stand.)

So, Eric asked me to come up with las categories for the contest. Here is what I thought of:

• Most handsome photo of a male bike rider (I thought of this one first!)

• Most beautiful photo of a female bike rider

• Most beautiful photograph of a bicycle of either sexo (Do they have sexes? Rogelio does not know)

• Best photograph in the style of a telenovela (such as the one of which I am of course the largest star)

• Best photograph of cyclists enjoying comida mexicana, before or after a ride

• Best photograph of me, Rogelio (in case you are lucky enough to see me in real life!)

• Best photograph of bicycles in naturaleza, especially if the photo brings to mind my own handsomeness 

• The ardilla azul, a silly category for silly photos that Eric said I must include.

There may be more categories, but for now, concentrate on my handsomeness, let it inspire you, and get ready to take fotografías!
