Congratulations to Michael Hogan of North Richland Hills, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest. This is the second time Mike has come up a winner in our our contest. He follows last week’s winner, Robert Moore of Dallas.

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.

The Killdares fan and Flickr Photo of the Week winner, Michael Hogan with Roberta Rast , member of the celtic rock band.

Now here’s more from Michael.

Title of photo:  “Haunted House with the Texas Star”

Equipment:  Canon SX50 PowerShot camera

Tell us more about your photo:  I’ve never been inside the Haunted House and I’ve never been on the Texas Star. Maybe next year. Timing is everything on a sunset shot like this. I took similar photos a few minutes before and a few minutes after this one and they did not turn out as well.
