Congratulations to, Christopher Paris of Waxahachie, winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest. Christopher is a first-time winner of our contest. He follows last week’s winner Shantel Rich of Arlington.

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 Christopher.

Title of photo: Infrared Winter

Equipment: Infrared Converted Nikon D200 with a Rokinon 8mm 3.5 lens

Tell us more about your photo: Being from the north my wife and I wanted to get out and capture the snow for the brief amount of time it was out before it melted. I love the lines created when photographing the abandoned train bridge in downtown Waxahachie, especially with the trees and their beautiful shadows of the warm afternoon sun. Even though the snow only stuck around for a morning it was fun to get in it!
