Every year since 2001 Troy DeArmitt has held The Everyman Photo Contest to allow us everyday blokes a chance to win a photo contest. The picture above was taken by Jesica Hall and is one of my favorites in the People/Portrait catagory for 2007; even though she didn’t place. That’s the joy I have found at this site: it’s not that there are a few good pictures and the rest mediocre at best but rather even the pictures that don’t place are very good.

I should mention no photoshoping is allowed and that the deadline for this year’s contest (2008) is 09/01/2008, now if I could just muster the nerve . . .
