I took this photo about a year ago of a rabbit that lived at my workplace. Although he is not living now, he was alot of fun. Rabbits are funny animals! Photo taken by O. Gurcan Ozan (Türkiye) - Animals/Pets

My wife and I were guests at a friend's wedding. I used a fisheye lens to capture the bride, the church, and the groom standing off to the left. It really took in the whole scene, and created a beautiful picture. Photo taken by Mark Beach (United States) - Holidays/Events

I think there is an unwritten law -- that every photographer in New Jersey has to have this shot in his/her portfolio. I've shot this in every format from 35mm to 5X7... 5X7 wins, hands down. This picture was taken using 5X7 Kodak Ektachrome film, using a B&J view camera and Tiffen Polarizer on a 10" f/6.3 lens. Photo taken by Bob Fowler (United States) - Travel/Vacation

I took this picture in Beijing, China in 1997. I like how engaged the men are in their conversation. I love the colors too; it almost looks like a painting. Photo taken by Jen Vallina (United States) - Travel/Vacation

When I look at this picture -- it feel's as if I am a knight on a quest, and must travel in the unknown. I took this picture on May 29th,2003 at Moss Beach, California. Photo taken by Justin Schlesinger (United States) - Nature

This picture was taken in my backyard. It's special to me because it is of my 5 year old son, Devin, doing what he loves to do...eat watermelon. Among all the things my two sons enjoy doing during the summer, eating watermelon is enjoyed the most. Photo taken by Joyce Holliday (United States) - People/Family/Friends

This is a white mini carnation shot in colour against a black velvet background. What fascinates me about shooting black and white in colour, is that the whites always prove to have subtle and interesting colour variations, as this flower does.

I have been trying to experiment with different lighting for a while now, and managed to use the natural sunlight coming through a window to capture this very serene shot of my favourite model...my 6 year old daughter Megan. I call her...my little princess. Photo taken by Karen-Jane Dudley (United Kingdom) - People/Family/Friends

This picture was taken in my back garden at 8:00 pm. It was just one of those instances -- when you're in the right place -- at the right time. Photo taken by Jeff Clift (United Kingdom) - Nature

I took this picture of my niece, Ashley, blowing bubbles in the park. Then in Paint Shop Pro, I created the effect of a grey scale picture with colored bubbles. My niece loved the picture! Photo taken by Karen Chappell (Canada) - People/Family/Friends

I was in the back yard hanging wet clothes, when I looked up at the clothes pins in the light against the sky, and thought it looked plenty cool. So, I got my camera and took some shots -- and this is what I came up with. Photo taken by Gregory Fiedler (United States) - Artistic/Creative

This is a picture I took of my friends little boys while we were at the park. I loved the picture -- and the day! Photo taken by Bridget Varner (United States) - People/Family/Friends

This is a picture of Hoosier, a European Starling who has chosen to be my friend. She makes the entire family laugh with her whistling and talking. Due to injuries, she cannot be released. I took this picture after her adult feathers came in. Photo taken by Karla Baker (United States) - Animals/Pets

This photograph was an accident -- a good one though! It was taken a year ago for a poetry reading session at the university, using an Olympus camera, a long exposure, and ISO 100. It's very artistic because of the multipilicity of meaning it can evoke -- like ethnicity, cultural rootedness, and others. It's also artistic because of it's abstraction from usual concrete images.

As I took this picture I thought, the old streetscapes of Shanghai will disappear before long... Photo taken by Rudi Butt (Japan) - Travel/Vacation

My grand daughter, Steph, is doing a 4H photography project -- and I've been shooting her, shooting pics. We were taking some sunset pictures, when I snapped this shot of her. Taken on Lake Pokegema, Pine City, MN, June 11,2003. Photo taken by Joan Soles (United States) - People/Family/Friends

This is my dog Jimmy. In this photo, he is quite suspicious of my activity. He is tired and doesn't really want to be bothered. I like taking wide angle close-ups of pets, it makes their noses look so cute! Photo taken by Ed Gauci (United States) - Animals/Pets

This is a picture of my 18 month old son, Roman. He's smelling flowers for the first time! Photo taken by Michelle Shillings (United States) - People/Family/Friends

This picture was shot using a Mamiya C220 TLR with a 135MM F/4.5 lens on Kodak Ektachrome film. It was taken at the Daniel Boone Homestead in Birdsboro, Pennsylvania. The scene was lit by light coming in from a large open door and a window on the opposite wall. Photo taken by Bob Fowler (United States) - Travel/Vacation

This picture was taken in May, and is special to me because I just love Infared shots, and because this is one of the places I love to swim at in the hot weather. The mill was erected by John McPherson on December 15, 1823, and still stands today! I wanted to shoot it in Infared to give it a dream like feel from years gone by. I used a Hoya R72 Infared filter, and a long shutter speed of 30 seconds to blur the water. I think it relates to the Artistic/Creative theme I selected because not too many people shoot in Infared, and I think it's a creative composition and technique.

I took this photo in Paris last Christmas. I had recently moved to France, and my children came to visit during the holidays. It was unbelievably cold, and there was even snow! Pretty intense when you are from California. I think this photo captured the spirit of all of the artists who braved the weather. It was unposed -- and I caught just the right moment! Photo taken by Phyllis Grannis (France) - Holidays/Events

This is a close-up shot of a 1949 Cadillac hood ornament. I took this at a classic car show by adding a +7 macro lens to my Kodak DC3400 camera. Photo taken by Ron Case (United States) - Artistic/Creative

Photographed in a Vietnamese hardware shop, this image of paint pigments had both beautiful light and colours. Photo taken by Charles McKean (Australia) - Travel/Vacation

This was my son's first visit to a friend's farm. The texture of the hay was the perfect backdrop for my photograph, as well as a great source of amusement for Pierce. Photo taken by Rachel Baker-Taylor (United States) - People/Family/Friends

Lake Crescent is very beautiful and this was one of those beautiful moments! Taken May 18, 2003 Photo taken by Kathy Cunningham (United States) - Nature

This picture was taken at Buye Beach, in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. Here's a man making a honest living selling beach toys. Very colorfull, but his age in making him stall. Even with a very slow pace, he continues to sell his goods. Photo taken by Jorge E. Pagan (Puerto Rico) - Travel/Vacation

This picture is special to be because it was taken at one of the times when you're not suppose to get great shots -- and it was the last exposure on the roll. It was taken in Zilker Park, which is in Austin, Texas, while I was a student. I had chosen to shoot in various park/gardens that day, and to focus on just flower/plants, and not the large scenes in the park. Photo taken by Loraine Corprew (United States) - Nature

Here is a photograph of my grandson, taken on a playground at a local McDonald's. The photo was taken on June 27, 2003. Photo taken by James Dupuis (United States) - People/Family/Friends

There is nothing better than spending a day sailing on the Chesapeake Bay! Photo taken by Steve Brisco (United States) - Travel/Vacation
