Congratulations January Photo of the Month Contest Winner: Amy Martin

Congratulations Amy Martin for your winning entry in the PYWP Photo of the Month: THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS. This month's poll was another tight race with only four votes separating the top entries shot by Amy and Sean Donnelly. The topic was difficult but fun, giving the photographers who entered a chance to stretch their creative muscle.

Since this the second contest Amy has one in a row, she has promised us that she will host a session on shooting pets. Pet photography is definitely something I've been wanting to learn how to do better. Besides bragging rights, Amy gets to choose February's monthly assignment, which will be announced tomorrow! So make sure you come back to see what the topic will be!

Amy Martin, December's photo assignment winner, has chosen the first topic for the new year. The assignment for January 2009 is: THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS, which are lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. "I hope people have fun with it," Amy said in her email to me announcing her topic. This one seems filled with photographic possibilities. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

You have from NOW until Jan. 25 at midnight to turn in an entry. The photo must be taken during this time frame, as the goal of this assignment is to keep us all out shooting regularly and working on our conceptualization skills.
