The annual New Times photograph contest is coming up here in San Luis. Entries are actually due on Monday. Here are a few I was thinking about entering. Any thoughts?
Of these three, I would definitely go with the sunflower. But photo contests are notoriously hard to second guess. Do they give any criteria for the judging?
Given that it's the New Times, which means they want to print the winners in their paper, the color ones would be my choice. And given that it's the New Times, which is supposedly an alternative newspaper, then I'd choose the hand on the fence. But if you can enter two, enter both colorful shots! The curvy road one that I love would be a better entry for an art-photo contest. See you tomorrow for your birthday "banquet," love from fresno, m.
I work retail for 45 hours a week. So to escape the chaos that is customer service, I take pictures that will calm me. I try to find something amazing in something common. I try to see what no one else will see.
