I see it on Facebook and Flickr all the time; photography keeners sharing their snaps with the rest of the world for validation. I’m not the biggest fan of the amateur photographer and I have stated before that there are very few photogs that I admire, but I figure why not do something for you peeps.
Lenzr.com is a new social photography contest community that’s pretty local—in fact, it’s pretty Toronto-centric. Since you’re all really into uploading your pictures, why not do it for some audience validation and interesting prizes.
Lenzr pits your photos in specialized Toronto contests for “the best picture” with other photogs. Users then vote by thumbing up or down the photo. Most votes with thumbs up wins! You can grab stuff like cell phones, MORE CAMERAS, and—at the moment—a watch. More contests will be appearing monthly with more prizes. It’s a pretty easy shtick if you ask me.
If you want consistent updates through Facebook, join the Lenzr group.

This is an awesome video set to an awesome song using tilt-shift photography by Kevin Loutit. It’s all real. It reminds me of when I was young and use to watch Thomas the Tank Engine all the time. I love trains! This has nothing to do with trains, though.
The song is called “Clementine” and is performed by Megan Washington.

The best photo of the entire day. The Obamas and the Bidens wave goodbye to the Bushes.

My friend Asen is a great guy. He’s even a great photographer. I’ve always told him that photography is a no talent hobby that anyone who has the ability to point and shoot can do. Asen has a great eye for things that people would miss, and I think that’s what I like about his stuff. There’s nothing fancy about what he does.
