Congratulations to Matt Harvey from Addison, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest! Matt last won in June for another striking black-and-white photo.  He follows last week’s winner, Guy Reynolds from Dallas.

If you would like to participate in the Flickr Photo of the Week contest, all you need to do is upload your photo to our Flickr group page. It’s fine to submit a photo you took earlier than the current week, but we are hoping that the contest will inspire you to go out and shoot something fantastic this week to share with Art&Seek users. If the picture you take involves a facet of the arts, even better. The contest week will run from Monday to Sunday, and the Art&Seek staff will pick a winner on Monday afternoon. We’ll notify the winner through FlickrMail (so be sure to check those inboxes) and ask you to fill out a short survey to tell us a little more about yourself and the photo you took. We’ll post the winners’ photo on Wednesday.

Now here’s more from Matt :

Title of photo: The Abandoned

Equipment used: Canon 60D w/Sigma lens

Tell us more about your photo: I was visiting family in Tyler over the holidays and got up early on a cold, overcast morning and went for a drive to see what had changed since I lived there as well as take some photos. I spotted this abandoned warehouse in a rundown area of town near downtown and stopped to take a few photos.
