Photo-A-Day Challenge: Get your inspiration on

With Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook driving people to snap pictures of their lives, T8N would like to offer our readers a photo challenge—a way to get in touch with your inner Ansel Adams or Annie Leibovitz. Below you’ll find 30 words: nouns, verbs and adjectives. Choose a random word a day, or just go down the list from 1 to 30 and become inspired by that word to photograph the city from a new perspective.

Here’s an example for the word “Natural”:

Send us your pics to [email protected] and we’ll post them in an upcoming T8N newsletter in our Photo of the Month article, on our Facebook page and on Twitter. Just tell us your name, contact email, where and/or of whom you took the photograph, what word prompted you to take it and why you thought the subject matched the word. There’ll be a $25 Delux Burger Bar gift card for the photographer of the photo we post.
