I can't begin to explain how much I love this post. Thank you sincerely to all who submitted photos for our second call for entries. I received nearly 50 very different interpretations! Not too shabby for a little photo blog! I had planned on narrowing the entries down to 10 of the very best, but in the end, I felt these 16 formed such a nice group together, so that's where I stopped. I hope you like them too. As always, a very big thank you to our regular contributors as well! Words would be nothing without you.

PS: Our next open call for entries will be in April!

And now, the CALL FOR ENTRIES!

We had so much fun with the call for "orange" back in October that we thought we'd do another one. Same as last time, I'll post our regular contributors' photos and up to 10 of yours.

So what we shooting next? PLACE.

THE RULES: You MUST submit 3 individual photos of the current theme ("place") interpreted however you'd like. We accept all forms of photography: film, Polaroid, digital, pinhole, toy, b/w, color, square, rectangular, horizontal, vertical, etc. Your photos MUST be sized for the web: 72 dpi, and around 500 pixels wide. I will put them together in a triptych, just like what you see here on the blog. I also stress that you shoot something NEW! This project was born from a desire to get out and waste some film (or pixels if that's your thing)! I can't require you to go out and shoot, but I strongly urge you to.

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU:
*Three individual, appropriately-sized photos e-mailed to wordstoshootby AT gmail DOT com
*Your name/internet handle
*Your blog or website or Flickr link (just one please)
*The order in which you'd like the photos to appear

~~Deadline is now Sunday, January 30, 1pm, Utah time. Not sure what time that is? Check out the world clock.~~ Deadline has now passed. Any questions? wordstoshootby AT gmail DOT com.

Remember, not all of the entries will be selected. There are no prizes or awards, but your photos will be posted here on the blog with proper credit given, and a link to your site. And please, just three photos per person per word. Good luck! Now get shooting!
