Greetings again. Once again I am running a photo contest/submission for photography of Green-Wood Cemetery during the summer/fall of 2006 and summer 2007 (up to this month) for use in the Green-Wood Historic Fund's The Arch magazine.

We had some great submissions last time and we picked 4 guest photographers. :)

Your photo submissions are for review only (by me and the brooklynian crew) and may be selected for the Fall issue of The Arch. Like last time, you will receive proper photo credit (and any © info) and a few issues of the Arch mailed to you.

Since they are a not-for-profit, we are not offering a stipend or award for the photos. Just your chance to possibly get you great shots in print! 8)

Please post your images in this thread and I'll be in touch via PM. Final submissions, if selected, will need to be send as hi-res jpeg files.

I will be closing out the context/submissions by next Friday, 9/14/07 late afternoon.

Images can be from any genre,as long as they are of Green-Wood and during the summer or fall...so, nature, statues, monuments, views, etc.

PM me with any questions.

NOTE: this contest is not being run by the Green-Wood Historic Fund. The submissions will be selected by yours truly on behalf of Green-Wood.

    ebrendan's photos are stunning. If I didn't know better, I'd think I was looking at somewhere in old Europe, some place like Prague. Nice work!

    I'm no expert photographer, and I have a dinky powershot S200, but GWC is too cool for me not to offer my two cents, or four photos, as the case may be.

    Apologies in advance if this doesn't work. I'm a novice with posting shots:

    I liked it, myself. In addition to the initials, it was a good contrast to the WIFE site.
