This week your challenge is to take and share an image on the theme of ‘family’.

As we approach the end of the year and the holidays that come with it many of use are gathering to celebrate with family – and what better time to get your camera out.

Feel free to interpret the theme in any way that you wish. You might wish to take portrait of a family member – or attempt a family group photo – or photograph your family home – or perhaps be a little more abstract to do something symbolic about what family means to you or even to symbolise a family member who you miss.

Once you’ve taken and selected the ‘Family’ image that you’d like to share – upload it to your favourite photo sharing site or blog and either share a link to it or – embed them in the comments using our embed tool to do so.

If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSFAMILY to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.

Also – don’t forget to check out some of the great shots posted in last weeks challenge – Portraits with Props challenge where there were some great shots submitted.
