Tom Robinson Travel Photography: I'm going to be a dad! Lovely-Nature-Gifts9.jpg (JPEG Image, 600x415 pixels) National Geographic's Photography Contest 2010. National Geographic is once again holding their annual Photo Contest, with the deadline for submissions coming up on November 30th.
For the past eight weeks, they have been gathering and presenting galleries of submissions, encouraging readers to rate them as well. National Geographic was again kind enough to let me choose some of their entries from 2010 for display here on The Big Picture. Collected below are 47 images from the three categories of People, Places and Nature. Captions were written by the individual photographers. (47 photos total) Kanana Camp, Botswana. e17_00000014.jpg (JPEG Image, 991x582 pixels) Quilling-art5.jpg (JPEG Image, 550x638 pixels) - Scaled (91%)
Mostly Carved Away Eggshell. Duckling-trying-to-fly.jpg (JPEG Image, 500x395 pixels) Stunning Self-Portraits by a 17-Year-Old (18 photos) Like Valerie Chiang or Kalie Garrett, Alex Stoddard is one of those talented teenage photographers who knows how to express themselves.
His self-portraits are all incredibly unique and after viewing them you're left wondering where he's going to take you next. What I enjoy most is that you can almost feel his passion come through. His commitment to not only executing on an idea but doing it well, is apparent to anyone who sees his photos. I got in touch with Alex to ask him a few questions, including how his style evolved while taking on the 365 project. (That is, to shoot and share one picture each day.) What have you learned from your 365 project? Your photos are all beautifully artistic. I see that you're friends with Rosie Hardy. How has Flickr helped you develop your style? Are there any quotes you live by? Thanks for the interview, Alex. Check out more of Alex's incredible photos on his Flickr page. Spiral pictures - Spiral photo gallery.
