Congratulations to John Crisp of Mesquite, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week. John has won our contest multiple times. His last win was back in April.  He follows last week’s winner Scottie Nguyen from Garland.

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 John.

Title of photo: “The Hall of State”

Equipment: Nikon D7200 w/Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 Lens & inexpensive mini tripod. Shot at 17mm, f/11, 13-second exposure and ISO 100

Tell us about your photo: The Hall of State (originally the State of Texas Building) is a building in Dallas’s Fair Park that commemorates the history of the U.S. state of Texas and is considered one of the best examples of Art Deco architecture in the state. It was designed and built for the Texas Centennial Exposition.
