Congratulations to Pia Gandolfo of Dallas, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest. This is the first time Pia has won our contest. She follows last week’s winner, Laura Rivera 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 is more from Pia.

Title of photo: “Wild Grass at SOPAC Trail”

Equipment: FujiFilm X100S

Tell us more about your photo: On my birthday a few months ago I decided to start a photo a day for an entire year. I was not feeling too well one day after work so I wasn’t too keen on taking a picture, but I forced myself to go for a short walk outside my condo. I live in Vickery Meadow very close to the SOPAC trail extension, so I spent a few minutes at the trail trying to take some pictures of the movement of the grass with the breeze.
