In the City: Weekly Photography Challenge
Earlier in the week we shared 49 city skyline shots in an image collection that got passed around the web quite a bit. I thought it might be good this weekend to followup with a ‘city’ themed photography challenge.
So your challenge is to shoot and share an image or two on the theme of ‘in the city’. You can shoot some skylines if you wish or can interpret the theme in any other way that you wish. Photograph people in the city, do some street photograph, concentrate on architecture, photograph a street parade or festival – whatever you wish.
Once you’ve taken and selected the ‘city’ 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 the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSCITY 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 – Water challenge where there were some great shots submitted.

I live in Costa Rica and we don’t have many big skyscrapers, though I want to share a night photo San José Downtown: http://www.kennethrivera.com/2012/04/san-jose-night/
I have some photos about graffiti and other interesting shoots of the city that will come during the following days on my blog.
If you have nice shoots of your city share them

This is a picture during a recent demonstration in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. I think this picture represents the essence of a city for me because one of the main differences I’ve noticed between cities and towns are beggars, homeless people and the way people just ignore them and go on with their lives.

First time to post to a weekly challenge…hopefully it’s ok. these are shots of street city workers paving the beautiful Vancouver rain. I felt the steam coming off the hot asphalt was what made the shot.
