Congratulations to Thorpe Griner of Denton, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest! Thorpe last won our contest way back in October 2010 for this ominous black-and-white shot. He follows our previous week’s winner, David Hobson.

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 Thorpe:

Title: Darting Through Dallas

Equipment: Canon 5D mkII w/ Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L lens

Tell us more about your photo: Some friends and I were out photographing the West End area and the train station. I wanted to capture the movement and excitement of Dallas nightlife. By using a longer exposure, I was able to create an eye catching image of the Dart train leaving the station.
