Patch Picture of the Week Contest

WINNER: Black & White Photo Contest

Readers have been uploading photos for nearly a week. We've crowned a winner.

We received more than 120 entries in our black and white photography contest. It's never easy to pick the one winner of our weekly photo contest, but upon clicking through the gallery several times, we had to go with Paul Bishop's photo, as shown above. Using the lighting style of a classic Hollywood photographer, Bishop noted in our comments section that "using discrete light sources and live balancing gives a feel and flexibility that you just can't get otherwise." Congratulations, Paul: we'll be contacting you to get you your $25 gift card. Thank you to all who entered: collectively, you've created a gallery of wonderful photos on Patch!

So, if you haven't entered yet (or, if you'd like to enter more photos), simply click on this link and follow the easy instructions to upload.

I'll be doing the stage and promotional photography for the Arts Alliance production of Blithe Spirit, that will be coming up in a few months- but will provide a tremendous opportunity for the style. I'll be shooting their new "mobile gallery" Synergia this coming Thursday night, with a pictorial blogpost here on Patch probably on Friday. If the stars align, however, I and my ragtag band of …   more ›
