Your help is needed!
For posting on Photoborg.org, I need examples of family pictures, pictures of kids or babies, pictures of pets (yes, including cats!), or other common subjects that have personal meaning for the photographer, along with 200-400 words about how you took the picture. (Please, no flowers or scenics, although pictures of your own garden are okay if you're a gardener.) Pictures of your favorite scrapbook pages are also good, as long as they have at least one photograph on the page.
The main criterion is that it should be a picture you personally really like, whether or not you think it's objectively "good."
I prefer pictures taken with point-and-shoots or digicams, or entry-level SLRs, digital or film, and I would prefer work from relatively inexperienced photographers, although you won't be disqualified on that score.
In the write-up, I'm looking for how you approached the subject and what the picture means to you, as much as technique.
If you'd like to submit a picture, please email a JPEG no larger than 940 pixels in the long dimension, along with your words in the body of the email, to my email address (which you can find in the right-hand column). Submissions won't be individually acknowledged and it may be a while before they show up on the site. Please use the words "PHOTOBORG SUBMISSION" in the subject line of your email.
There is no payment at this time, although that may be possible in the future. We will use the picture one time only, and all rights stay with you.
Thanks!

I miss one point in this post - the reason for doing so? What will you do with this stuff? What do you want to achieve in the end?

Mike, don't spread yourself too thin -- don't forget all those missed deadlines in the past.

Can we submit multiple images?

This isn't to make fun of us is it? Are you trying to put together another "most popular post" like the one on the old blog?
