Enter our Photo Contest to Help Tell the Story of Sustainability in New York City

“I know that the accident of my being a photographer has made my life possible”
-Richard Avedon
This quote, spoken by one of my absolute favorite photographers, has a way of resonating deep in my soul. For one short sentence, it says quite a bit. That’s what a great sentence is supposed to do, right? My becoming a photographer was an accident. For years I had wanted to be a journalist—a writer. Until a college friend handed me a camera and I thought, “Wow, I could go outside every day if I used one of these to tell stories.” Stories. That’s the other part. With a camera, I became a witness to a life so much bigger than my own. From behind the lens I had access where my ordinary eyes would not. For such a small object, a camera moves mountains.
With our New York City blog, “Greening the Apple” just launched, I wanted to share my passion for photography with others. We’ve launched a photo contest, “A Greener Apple” Photo Contest and we hope you will all participate. The theme for the contest is, “What does sustainability look like in New York City?” Pick your best work, submit your photos easily online, and have a chance at some exposure and recognition on our blog. Photography is story-telling. Share your stories with the rest of us. The deadline for submissions is midnight, August 12, 2011 (EST).
Please read contest rules and guidelines on Greening the Apple
