I’ve never actually entered a photo contest before, which is sort of ironic because I do consider myself an amateur photographer. One certainly cannot pass up the opportunity to enter a photo contest when all the fees are waived. Thus is the case with the Faces and Places of the World contest, being put on by The Examiner and Now Public and since I am a writer for the Examiner, my fees have been waived so I figured why not?
This is where you come in. I need votes for the People’s Choice award!! So… if you have a moment to check out the six photos I’ve submitted, please choose your favorite and vote!! I would really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy them. *Click on the thumbnail image to go to the voting page, and on the voting page you can scroll your mouse over the image for a larger version.

Here is where I take my appreciation of technology and my love of photography and mix them together for a whimsical voyage of visual fun. I recently upgraded my phone from the LG Voyager to the LG EnV Touch. The EnV Touch is modeled after the Voyager with many wonderfully delicious features, including it’s ever-fantastic digital camera feature. The phone has a 3.2 megapixel lense with automatic focus and… (drum roll please) … a flash! It’s a bright flash too, sufficient for 10-15 foot object distances with little to no effort.
You can take pictures in six different resolutions (2,048×1,536, 1,600×1,200, 1,280×960, 640×480, and 320×240 pixels), five white balance presets, and five color effects. It also has three focusing modes: autofocus, macro mode, or manual mode, the last of which lets you pick one of seven points on the screen to focus in on. You can toggle the flash on or off, adjust a self timer if you want, or select one of three shutter sounds (there’s also a silent option).
