The call for our readers to capture the most extraordinary of occurrences with their cameras did not go unheeded. September’s challenge with “Once in a Blue Moon” motivated our stellar photographers to produce truly unique work. The moon itself is represented in artistically powerful ways, as well as the sun in smoke-filled skies. Even “people [...]
With the fall weather cooling things down a bit in the Northern Hemisphere, change in the air is quickly affecting millions of deciduous trees by way of creating the annual phenomenon of autumn leaves. Colors are rapidly shifting from emerald green to the traditional fall hues of gold, crimson and orange. Nature is definitely on [...]
When portraying the evident from an unusual angle, a whole new world of vistas can truly be brought to bear. This is exactly what we see in these awesome images from the participants in this month’s assignment, “Down Under, Around or Behind.” Here are some of the comments regarding their experience with the assignment listed [...]
So here we are on August 31, 2012 and with tonight’s full moon we will be witnessing a rare spectacle in the night sky – a so-called “blue moon.” It’s the second full moon of the month and occurs just once every two to three years. About as rare an occurrence as when a good [...]

This was the question asked of our viewers/photographers in July’s photo assignment, Before and After. An unusual and eclectic mix of ideas, concepts and images were the result as they rose to the challenge of telling [...]
In August we are asking you to get low, get around, get creative and maybe get a little dirty while shooting from “Down Under, Around or Behind.” Ever wonder what’s underneath that table at the diner? Or what might be stashed under your child’s bed that you had no clue was there? The underside of [...]

Well done and thank you to all who participated and made some incredible images with the theme of Gettin’ All Wet! Below are some comments from the submitting photographers, and we couldn’t be more grateful for [...]
This month, we’ll ask you to dry off a bit from last month – or not – and attempt to photograph with a little different mindset. We encourage you to capture a scene that existed in one moment, and then the exact same or similar subject or idea after any amount of time has passed [...]
Certainly not a new term, “Leap of Faith” has become vernacular for a place where people overcome doubt and are able to trust in their sometimes life-changing decisions. Unbeknownst to us at the time when we posted the assignment, the week prior, a Broadway show of the same name, Leap of Faith, opened (thank you [...]
What would life be without water? Easy answer is that there simply wouldn’t be any life without water. Water is everywhere. It sloshes, seeps, runs, pools, freezes, floods and falls. It evokes emotions such as calm and peaceful, yet our tears are outward expressions of anger or sadness. We float on it, surf on it, [...]
