Congratulations to Briget Murphy of Plano, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest! Briget is a first time winner of our little contest, she follows last week’s winner,  Patrick Harvey.

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 Briget:

Title of photo: Little Gypsy Girl
Equipment: Sony DSC-WX9 Cyber Shot
Tell us more about your photo: My friend Hatice and I were relaxing beside the Bosphorus in Uskadar, Istanbul, drinking tea, chatting, and looking at the water. A gypsy woman came around, selling babbles, and this little girl was tagging along behind her. I smiled at her, jabbered in English, pointed to my camera, got down to her level, and took a shot while she was bending forward, examining the camera. I could tell she didn’t know what it was or what it did, so I got a natural facial expression from her.
