This photo is my one year old nephew, Caden. I took it during the summer of 2010, on a hot day where we rolled out the round, tin tub, filled it with cool water, stripped him naked, and put him in. This simple tub of water entertains him for hours. The reason I chose to place this photo under the "People/Family/Friends" category is because when I look at this photo, I see the simplicity of a child, so content with such a small thing as water, and how completely comfortable he is with being nude in front of Aunt Camille and the surrounding family members. No self consciousness here. And of course, those big blue eyes just get me every time! Photo taken by Camille Brewington (United States) - People/Family/Friends

I was sitting on a bench in a bike shop and looked up to discover this view through the wheels of a long line of bikes. Photo taken by Pat Moore (United States) - Artistic/Creative

We all enjoy the color, fun, food, arts, dance and music as the many ethnic groups in Los Angeles each celebrate their own culture. The Japanese community tradition features an annual festival in mid-August. These women are part of a large ondo traditional dance group awaiting their turn to join in the L.A. street parade.

I was taking photos of my son playing in the yard, he fell and hurt his lip and began to cry. After I put ice on his "bo bo" I got my favorite photo of the day. His sad face with that one tear left on it..and his fat lip! Photo taken by Tara Carollo (United States) - People/Family/Friends

This photo was taken in Golden Gate Park at Stow Lake, while my brother was visiting from Pennsylvania. He hadn't been to San Francisco in 25 years.

This is a picture of my 4 year old grandson. The picture really captures the deep intensity and strong will between the flamingo and my grandson. I find it such a captivating picture. The picture was taken in February 2011 at a park in Florida. I could not decide between animals--humor--nature-family...I chose family.

This picture was taken in Granger, Texas, at a wheat field my dad and I stopped at while out driving. He had to convince me to get into the field, and after several shots, this "first" picture turned out to be the best shot that day. It is an artistic shot to me, because the wheat field looks like an endless sea. Photo taken by Drew Dubcak (United States) - Artistic/Creative
