Congratulations to Wade Shaffer of Plano, winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest. This is Wade’s third time to grab the Flickr gold. His last win was back in September of 2016. He follows last week’s winner, Shane Iroony of Lucas, Texas.

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 Tuesday to Monday, and the Art&Seek staff will pick a winner on Friday 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 Tuesday. Now here’s more from Wade.

Title of Photo: “A Place in the World”

Equipment: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV; Sigma 20mm F1.4 Art

Tell us more about your photo: I was in Decatur exploring and taking pictures when I spotted this little creature on a handrail. He seemed quite comfortable there, and he posed for me for a while – a very small creature in a wide world. Like most of us, really.
