Congratulations to Richard Payson of Fort Worth, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest! Richard last won our little contest in May for this stunning black-and-white shot. He follows last week’s winner, Andrew Newton.

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, more from Richard:

Title of photo: Emotional Coffee
Equipment: LG Quantum Windows Phone
Tell us more about your photo: I was getting ready to dial into a conference call and looked at my cup of coffee (50% espresso 50% drip brew) and saw this face looking back at me. I picked up my phone and snapped the shot. I took it just in time, because the face was gone after I dialed the conference number.
