Congratulations to Matt Harvey of Addison, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest! This is Matt’s third victory in our contest; he previously won in February for another of his black-and-white gems. He follows last week’s winner, Brandon Burns.

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: Along the Creek
Equipment: Canon 400D
Tell us more about your photo: I spent a hot, humid summer morning exploring the hidden walkways along Turtle Creek, dodging mosquitoes and vagrants, looking for subjects that made interesting compositions. I found a nice place that allowed for receding lines and complex textures and shot several frames. This particular one turned out to be my favorite.
